CES 2026 Wrap-Up: The Best Futurism You Can Buy Today
CES 2026 in Las Vegas has been a whirlwind of the weird, the wonderful, and the downright impressive. Usually, we leave the show floor dreaming of concepts that might not hit shelves for another three years. But this year is different. A surprising number of the hottest announcements aren't just prototypes—they are ready for pre-order or shipping right now.
From a keyboard that effectively swallows a Stream Deck to a leaf blower that won’t wake the neighbors, here are the best gadgets from CES 2026 that you don’t have to wait for.
The Headliner: Corsair Galleon 100 SD Keyboard
Price: $350
If there is one peripheral that stole the show for streamers and power users, it’s the Corsair Galleon 100 SD.
For years, gamers have cluttered their desks with a mechanical keyboard and a separate Elgato Stream Deck. Corsair has finally merged the two into a single, cohesive unit. The Galleon 100 SD features a massive 5-inch display, rotary encoders, and 12 fully programmable buttons right on the chassis.
Why it matters: It supports full Elgato profiles, meaning you can control your stream, lighting, and game audio without lifting your hand from the keyboard. With Corsair’s MLX Pulse switches and an ultra-fast 8,000Hz polling rate, it’s not just a control center—it’s a top-tier competitive gaming board.
Audio & Visual Innovation
Tone Outdoors T1 Leaf Blower
Price: $599
Finally, a solution for the neighborhood noise wars. The Tone Outdoors T1 claims to be 80% quieter than standard handheld gas blowers while being 60% more powerful. If you hate the 7 AM weekend wake-up call of a lawn crew, this is the tech you want your neighbors to buy.
Shokz OpenFit Pro
Price: $250
Open-ear headphones are great for awareness, but usually terrible for isolation. Shokz is changing that with the OpenFit Pro. They feature a new Noise Reduction mode—a rarity for this form factor—and Dolby Atmos support, bridging the gap between open-ear comfort and active noise cancellation.
Nebula X1 Pro 4K Projector
Price: $4,999
This isn't just a projector; it's a home theater in a box. The X1 Pro combines a blindingly bright 3,500-lumen 4K projection with a built-in 160W sound system. It supports a 7.1.4 speaker configuration, making it a beast for both indoor cinema nights and outdoor parties.
Mobile & Productivity
Clicks Communicator Phone
Price: $399
Minimalism is making a comeback. The Clicks Communicator is an Android device that prioritizes typing over scrolling. Built around a physical keyboard (hello, BlackBerry nostalgia) and a 4-inch OLED, it keeps you connected with NFC and fingerprint security but discourages doom-scrolling.
Satechi Thunderbolt 5 Cube Dock
Price: $400
For the creatives pushing 8K video, Satechi has unleashed the Thunderbolt 5 Cube Dock. It supports blistering 120Gbps transfer speeds and 180W power delivery. The kicker? It has space inside for an 8TB SSD, effectively turning your dock into an external drive.
Pebble Round 2
Price: $199
Pebble is back. The Round 2 revives the beloved thin-and-light design with a color e-paper display and a battery that lasts over two weeks. It skips the power-hungry GPS for pure longevity and style.
Smart Home & Lifestyle
Vivoo Smart Toilet Clip-on
Price: $99
Health tracking is getting... intimate. The Vivoo Smart Toilet clip uses optical sensors to analyze your hydration levels automatically. No strips, no mess—just data synced directly to your phone.
Belkin Charging Case Pro for Switch 2
Price: $100
Perhaps the biggest subtle confirmation of the show—Belkin’s new case is explicitly for the Nintendo Switch 2. It packs a 10,000mAh battery and a sturdy stand, ensuring you’re ready for the next generation of handheld gaming immediately.
Ambient Dreamie Alarm Clock
Price: $250
In an effort to get phones out of the bedroom, the Dreamie is a standalone sunrise alarm with built-in podcasts and sleep sounds. It stores everything on-device with no subscriptions, offering a "dumb" smart device experience for better sleep hygiene.
The Verdict
CES 2026 proved that hardware is still king. Whether you are looking to upgrade your streaming setup with the Corsair Galleon or simplify your life with the Clicks Communicator, the future is surprisingly tangible this year.
