News coming out of CES 2026 might be slowing down, but as of Wednesday we still have writers on the ground, zipping around from hotel suite to Las Vegas convention center to try everything that matters. We’ve published well over 100 articles, and there’s plenty of more content to come, including reviews of stuff we got to see at the show.
As expected, most of the product announcements we’ve covered don’t launch for at least a few months, but some of the products are already available, or will be soon. So, in case you want to get your hands on the freshest tech money can buy, we’ve compiled where you can buy products that we’ve written about. Note that we haven’t tested most of these products to the extent that we feel comfortable putting our recommendation behind them, but hey, they’re available if you want to try them yourself.
Most people know Elgato for its Stream Deck accessory, which lets you program its buttons to execute practically any PC shortcut you want. Corsair, which owns the company, figured out a way to cram a complete Stream Deck into a full-size mechanical keyboard. It’s called the Galleon 100 SD, and it features a 5-inch IPS display, 12 buttons, and two rotary dials. It launches on January 29th, and you can preorder one now for $349.99.

Jennifer Pattison Tuohy says almost everything you need to know about Aqara’s new U400 smart lock right at the top of her hands-on article. It’s the first to use Apple’s UWB-based hands-free locking, and it works really, really well — even when your hands are full. This model contains the U1 UWB chip, the same one that Apple puts in many of its iPhones and Apple Watch devices, and Jennifer said that it’s a massive upgrade for her front door. It’s available now for $269.99 at Amazon.

Bosch is a major player in Europe when it comes to stick vacuums. In the US? Not so much, but it’s taking a shot by launching its Unlimited 9 and Unlimited 10, and they’re already available. The Unlimited 9 is its basic offering that costs $499.99, while the $599.99 Unlimited 10 has a bendable tube that makes it better at reaching under low furniture, like coffee tables.
Anker’s new Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro are wireless earbuds with a twist. They can toggle between serving as open-ear headphones for when you need to pay attention to your surroundings, or when you want better sound and active noise cancellation, just slide the ear tips in for a snug fit. We haven’t tested them yet, but they seem promising, and they’re not too expensive, costing $179.99 at Anker’s site.
Anker made its cute 45W nano charger even cuter by sticking a display on the front. The screen shows the charging speed, charging progress, and its prongs can rotate 180-degrees to make it possible to plug in at more outlets. It’s listed at $39.99, but Anker is knocking $10 off with a code that automatically applies at checkout.
