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.
