There is an eye-catching distracting display underneath the keys of this mechanical keyboard; You might want to turn away from Finalmouse’s upcoming mechanical keyboard if you find the RGB LEDs dancing on your keyboard annoying.
A mechanical keyboard with a display showing animated images through its transparent keycaps and switches is the Finalmouse Centerpiece, which was unveiled on Saturday. The keyboard’s appearance is both dazzling and distracting.
Finalmente is renowned for producing PC mice with intricate designs that are frequently hard to find. It usually targets PC gamers looking for something distinctive and upscale for their setup. Now, Finalmouse is releasing its first keyboard, which raises the bar for intricate design.

The display beneath the switches on the Centerpiece hasn’t received much attention from Finalmouse. Its exact dimensions, brightness, resolution, and refresh rate, for instance, are unknown. The Unreal Engine 5-powered “interactive skins” allegedly power the display.
It’s strange how many skins the Centerpiece will include. Still, in its demo, Finalmouse demonstrated a range of potential options, including 3D animations, a roaring lion, and swimming koi fish that swim away when you press a key.
Mechanical keyboards are among the peripherals with the broadest range of customization options. Still, Finalmouse’s Centerpiece is much more eye-catching than most, including Asus’ ROG Strix Flare II Animate, which has 312 programmable Mini LEDs.
The Centerpiece’s display is front and center, unlike mechanical keyboards with displays that are located close to the keys in the past. As a result, we can see how the animations could be very disruptive, especially for people who don’t use a touch keyboard and those who play competitive video games. Fortunately, you can turn off the display using the brightness knob on the side of the keyboard.
The keyboard uses mechanical switches, and its eccentric display is based on Gateron’s linear Black Ink switches. The button invented by Gateron has a 4 mm travel and actuates with 60 g of force. According to Finalmouse, the buttons in the Centerpiece keyboard should operate more quickly and have “slightly” different travel specifications.
The company will also offer keyboard analog switches with Hall-effect sensors, allowing customers to choose where they should be activated (anywhere along their travel).
The Centerpiece will only be available to those looking for a daring PC accessory to transform and dominate their setup and keep themselves or, possibly, online viewers wowed. This is due to its truncated layout, outrageous design (including keycaps with only side-printed legends), and high price. Early in 2019, the keyboard will be offered for $349, according to Finalmouse.
