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.

Apple has just released its touchscreen MacBook Pro, and there's plenty to get excited about. It's the first MacBook with an OLED display, powered by the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, and even gets the Dynamic Island from the iPhone. We've heard plenty about these upgrades through leaks and rumors over the past few months, but one thing I wasn't prepared for was the return of the glowing Apple logo.

After years of rumors and anticipation, Apple finally unveiled the touchscreen MacBook Pro, or as it likes to call it, the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR display. 

There’s no new chip, so the focus is entirely on the touchscreen. Apple has used tandem OLED technology (first debuted on the iPad Pro), which rates the display at a 2,000-nit peak brightness. It also features ProMotion (adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz) and covers both P3 and Adobe RGB gamuts. And yes, the screen also features the Dynamic Island we've seen on iPhones for years.

Google just invited its AI rivals into its own house and handed them the keys to the most important room. Whether that’s generosity or strategy, I’m still deciding.

At its Android Developer Summit on Wednesday, Google said Android Studio, its official app-building software, now works with more than 40 AI coding agents. These include the popular ones like Anthropic’s Claude, OpenAI’s Codex, and Google’s own Antigravity. (via Android Developers Blog)
