PCs won’t be Lenovo’s only focus at CES 2026. The company is also reportedly planning to show off an unusual keyboard and mouse combo that you may never need to plug in.
According to Windows Latest, Lenovo is preparing to unveil what it calls the Lenovo Self-Charging Kit Concept. And if you guessed it, yes, the keyboard and mouse rely on solar power. The twist is they’re designed to harvest energy, not just outdoors, but from indoor lighting as well.
The report claims Lenovo is using a next-generation solar light–harvesting technology that can continuously power both peripherals in a wide range of environments. More impressively, the system is said to generate power under indoor lighting as low as 50 lux.
In comparison, the small solar panels commonly found in calculators typically need around 200 to 500 lux to function.
The attached image shows the keyboard and mouse combo, with the keyboard likely featuring solar panels on top of the arrow keys. However, it’s difficult to spot it on the mouse.
More keyboard and mouse innovations
Lenovo is also introducing the Lenovo Adaptable Keyboard Concept at CES. According to the report, this keyboard can adjust key stroke behavior using optical actuation controls, though Lenovo hasn’t explained exactly how this mechanism works.
It also has indicators for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and battery status on an isle on top, along with an additional icon on the top right.
Finally, Lenovo will launch the Lenovo 900 Wireless Low-Profile Mechanical Keyboard and Mouse, featuring a translucent design and Thunder Grey and Cloud Grey shades.
Unlike the other two concepts, this set isn’t a concept model. While there’s no image of it, the 900 series is said to feature the company’s custom 4-point mechanical switch for a more satisfying typing experience, along with multi-device pairing via a unified 2.4G dongle or dual Bluetooth.
