Although keyboards have had the same basic features for decades, recently they\u2019ve experienced a renaissance of sorts thanks to mechanical switches. This has led to a wide variety of different typing experiences and custom designs. Plus, with the underground DIY scene, keyboards are now more customizable than ever before. However, there\u2019s still room for innovation, as evidenced by a new keyboard called the Finalmouse Centerpiece that includes transparent keys and switches. Those are necessary to see the high-resolution display embedded beneath. It\u2019s one of those features that we never knew we needed until we saw it in action.<\/p>\n

Keyboards have had displays before, of course, but nothing like this. We\u2019re reminded of the Logitech G19, which had a tiny display. There are also keyboards with a small OLED, like the Steel Series Apex Pro. The Centerpiece takes it to a whole new level. Instead of just having RGB light patterns dancing across the keys, you could have Koi fish swimming around, for example. The technology powering it is called Laminated DisplayCircuit Glass Stack (LDGS), according<\/a> to TechSpot. The keyboard sports a dedicated CPU and GPU to drive the display. It\u2019s also running Unreal Engine 5 as well. It connects to any PC with a single USB-C cable.<\/p>\n
