While there hasn’t been a significant breakthrough in computer input devices like keyboards, Lenovo could change that at CES 2026. According to a report by Windows Latest, the company is working on a self-charging keyboard and mouse combo, another translucent combo, and an adaptive smart keyboard.

The most unique product in the leaks is something called the “Lenovo Self-Charging Kit Concept.” It reportedly harvests energy from low indoor lighting (as low as 50 lux) and charges itself as you use it indoors. Although this technology is similar to Logitech’s solar-powered keyboards, it also works without direct sunlight.

To give you an idea, solar-powered devices, including keyboards, need around 200-500 lux of light, making the Self-Charging Kit Concept all the more fascinating. For now, the product is expected to remain a concept, but it could be very popular once it hits the market. Who wouldn’t like a keyboard and mouse combo that doesn’t require charging or batteries for a lifetime?

Another leaked model, dubbed the Lenovo 900 Wireless Low-Profile Mechanical Keyboard (and Mouse), will reportedly feature a translucent aesthetic. Unlike the indoor light-powered keyboard, this one isn’t a concept, so there’s a high chance that Lenovo could launch it soon (in Thunder Gray and Cloud Gray finishes).

Regarding features, the keyboard is said to sport Lenovo’s custom four-point mechanical switches that enhance users’ typing experience. Furthermore, the keyboard will also support multi-device pairing (via 2.4G dongle or dual Bluetooth).

While the publication didn’t share any pictures of the translucent keyboard, I’m imagining it as a mechanical keyboard with a see-through exterior that reveals its internal circuitry and switches, making it look cool and futuristic. Think of it like a keyboard if Nothing made one.

Last but not least, the company is working on a smart keyboard that can adjust the typing feel according to your requirements. The report mentions that the device can “adjust the stroke with optical actuation controls,” which should result in distinct tactile feedback for different tasks.

When you’re gaming, the keyboard will recognize rapid key presses, while lighter and accurate key presses will benefit professionals. As seen in the promotional picture, the keyboard has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and battery indicators at the top. Most of the keyboard is occupied by the keys, leaving very little room for the keyboard’s frame.

Finally, there’s no number pad, which makes the keyboard truly portable. For everyday users, Lenovo’s new keyboards could provide a quieter, smarter, and more convenient typing experience.

Moreover, it looks like CES 2026 will be a significant stage for the company’s peripherals business. However, the concepts might reach the market by 2027.

Google’s next Googlebook could make your Android tablets feel outdated
Googlebooks are moving beyond traditional laptops, and the next one might look more like a tablet.

Googlebooks have only been around for a little over a month, but Google is already looking beyond traditional laptops. The company has confirmed that detachable Googlebooks are on the way, meaning we could soon see devices that work as both a tablet and a laptop without carrying two separate gadgets.

The announcement came during the Android Dev Summit 2026, where Google outlined its plans to expand the Googlebook lineup beyond the clamshell and convertible designs currently available. While the company hasn't revealed an official launch date or shown any hardware, an earlier leak suggests Lenovo could be the first manufacturer to bring one to market.

Meta is already working on its second-gen humanoid robot, but don’t expect it to land in homes anytime soon
Meta wants a robot to do your chores, but it still has to learn how to climb stairs

Meta appears to be getting serious about bringing artificial intelligence out of the screen and into the physical world. The company has built a humanoid robot prototype with Chinese robotics firm Fourier, and it is already developing a second-generation version. However, before anyone starts imagining a robot folding laundry or handling household chores, there is a fairly important caveat: this is still research and development, with no launch date in sight.

According to The Information, which cited people familiar with the project, Meta and Fourier built the prototype, internally called Max, in around three months. The roughly 48kg robot is part of Meta's broader ambition to develop humanoids that could eventually carry out everyday tasks in people's homes.

Anthropic cracks down on video game cloning with new Claude restrictions
Claude can still help develop original games, but copying existing titles is now off the table.

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.
