We usually do not pay much attention to our keyboard, at most if we are going to use it in professional environments, we are looking for the type of key used and the correct interaction for our daily tasks. Thus, we see them of all sizes and all shapes: mechanical, compact, wireless. However, the one we bring to you today is different from the others. The Final Mouse Alpha Prototype Mouse and it powerfully held our attention. The why? Keep reading.
Can you imagine a fully customizable keyboard? And no, we are not talking about an RGB type keyboard with LED lights, but something much more extreme, to the point of changing its visual aspect 100%. To achieve this means using atypical technologies on a keyboard, which have been the product of lateral thinking. All this to create a type of keyboard never seen before that will allow us to give our keyboard the look we want.
This is the Alpha Prototype keyboard
Under the name of Alpha Prototype it is a keyboard created by FinalMouse which is based in the concept of mounting a screen on a keyboard, which can display any video or moving image on the keyboard case, which gives it a far greater touch of customization than RGB-lit keyboards. What is shown on the screen can be a video or be 100% interactive through Unreal Engine 5. The goal is to sell customizations of each game through Steam.
To do this, mount the mechanical keyboard on a screen, with the possibility of choosing one with 2K or 4K resolution, which integrates its own circuits inside and, therefore, its own processor and memory to be able to display moving images on the screen. keyboard. In any case, it is not yet clear if these are processed internally from the keyboard itself or are generated from the PC to be transmitted back to the keyboard.
Regarding the interface used, it differs from normal keyboards in that it has its own USB controller at 8 kHz refresh rate with a type C interface, which means from the moment the video has to be transmitted. Which brings us to the conclusion that it will be our computer that will manage the images that we see on the keyboard.
A never-before-seen keyboard has officially been leaked. @Finalmouse’s supposed Alpha prototype features groundbreaking technology. A keyboard with fully interactive skins built on Unreal Engine 5… wtf https://t.co/p9HhuN4DZr

Where can it be purchased?
In any case, and for the moment, FinalMouse has not commented on its project and does not plan to present it for the moment, so we would have to see its final presentation on December 17. Obviously, with the technologies used for its construction, it will not be cheap to acquire a keyboard of this type.
For all this, we have the last question. Do you find a keyboard of these features useful, or is it a meaningless exaggeration that adds nothing more than something attractive to the desktop?
