The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 in Las Vegas showcased an array of exciting new technology products aimed at enhancing the experience for iPhone and Mac users. Although Apple does not officially participate in the event, it remains a significant occasion for tech enthusiasts and those interested in complementary devices. Several innovative products were unveiled, with various features and functionalities catering to the needs of Apple users.
Clicks Power Keyboard Offers Versatility
One of the standout announcements was the Clicks Power Keyboard, a Bluetooth keyboard equipped with MagSafe technology. This device not only allows users to type seamlessly on their iPhones but also includes a built-in battery bank for charging. Following the success of the Clicks phone case, which faced limitations regarding its reusability with different phone models, this new keyboard addresses that issue. It supports both Qi2 and MagSafe, making it compatible with a range of iPhone and Android devices.
The Clicks Power Keyboard is especially promising for users of the Apple Vision Pro, as it alleviates concerns about using the virtual keyboard. The keyboard is designed with comfort in mind, although its weight distribution may not be ideal for larger iPhone models. Currently, interested customers can pre-order the keyboard for $79.99 on the Clicks website, with shipments expected to begin in spring 2026.
Keychron Q Ultra Series Raises the Bar for Mechanical Keyboards
Another notable product is the Keychron Q Ultra lineup of mechanical keyboards, which made waves with impressive specifications. Featuring an 8K polling rate in wireless mode and an astonishing 660 hours of battery life, these keyboards are designed for serious typists and gamers alike. The new Silk POM switches enhance the typing experience, ensuring smooth and responsive keystrokes.
The Q Ultra series includes three models: the Q1 Ultra (75%), Q3 Ultra (TenKeyLess), and Q6 Ultra (full-size). Prices start at $229, reflecting the quality and performance that Keychron is known for, particularly among Mac users.
The HyperDrive Next also gained attention, offering a high-speed solution for interfacing with NVMe SSDs. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 at speeds up to 80Gbps, it enables rapid file transfers, making it an attractive option for professionals handling large files. The device is versatile, accommodating various M.2 modules, including AI accelerators and network cards. The HyperDrive Next is priced at $199.99 and is already available for purchase on Amazon.
Anker introduced a new 45W charging brick featuring a smart display that reveals device charging status and speeds. This innovative charger allows users to manually adjust charging speed and offers flexibility with prongs that rotate up to 180 degrees. Available in white, black, and blue, the charger is set to retail at $39.99, with a $10 discount for early pre-orders.
Belkin also captured attention with customizable screen protectors, developed in collaboration with ScreenSkinz. These unique protectors can be engraved with personal artwork, visible only when the screen is off. Although the product is not yet available, it will soon be customizable on Belkin’s website.
