是键盘也是触控板! 桌上型电脑也可以当笔电玩?

今年Computex 中Yuki 发现Synaptics 推出一个新奇的设计 Smartbar“触控键盘”,只要一组键盘就可以取代鼠标,并享有触控板的功能!

你只要把想像成它是笔记本电脑键盘下方的触控板,只是跟空白键合而为一,使用者可以在­键盘的空白键上用手指作双点触控、左右滑移等操作,就可以执行快速卷动、放大缩小、快­速启动等功能。

除了键盘的空白键上加上触控,也可以依照键盘制造商的软件设计,让使用者设定成不同的­操作方式,在会场中Synaptics就展示了与曜越合作的设计,加入了可让电竞玩家­自行定义触控行为的宏指令,对于需要快速下指令的电竞玩家来说,这样的设计的确方便­许多。

Computex 2015 Synaptics SmartBar Hands-on

This year at Computex, human interface company Synaptics demonstrated its SmartBar technology, incorporating touch input sensors from their trackpads into keyboards.

With SmartBar technology, manufacturers can implement capacitive touch sensors into the spacebar of a keyboard for productivity-boosting gestures or macros for gamers. Gestures include swiping left and right between typed words, pinch zoom, or quick start.

ThermalTake will be among the first adopters with its Tt eSports product line; expect to see new gaming keyboards featuring this clever new technology!
