CES 2026 Discussion

[dxchase]

Posted a day behind, but enough out there for us to pick stuff that looks interesting and/or a waste of money and tech.

Does anyone here follow this? Anything look interesting to you?


So far, the only thing ive seen that id want would be Corairs new stream-deck keyboard...

GALLEON 100 SD Stream Deck-Integrated Mechanical Keyboard (NA)

The GALLEON 100 SD fuses iconic Stream Deck technology into a high-performance mechanical keyboard, giving you precise, real-time command of your entire gaming setup—all from one device.

Personally, I think this is amazing:

The Asus ROG G1000 and its holographic fans has all the bling you could want in a PC

For when RGB just doesn't cut the mustard.

This is kind of cool: A computer inside a keyboard, which is kind of how I started out with computers using the old Atari:

That's no moon…sorry, keyboard. That's an AI PC.

Relive the golden years of computing, Copilot style.

Just connect the keyboard to a monitor...

This looks like a @BeardyHat dream device. Apparently it has approximately the same computing power as a Steam Deck.

All those new computer glasses displays could lead to a resurrection of 3D-Vision style 3D. Instead of a full headset (and full immersion) you just have two monitors, one for each eye, to give you 3D depth perception.

(Or maybe I just really miss my 3D Vision.)

My dad worked for Eastman Kodak, and he always had an idea for something 3D or other that didn't need glasses. I'm curious now. We're seeing him on Friday, so I'll ask. I was just a kid at the time so there's no telling 🤣

Not much non AI stuff announced there.

Lots of new monitors which is mostly what I looked at

I wonder about air flow. Guess I wait for video reviews. Not that I would buy a pre built.
I like dumb cases, not ones I need to run armoury crate to have the lights work. Hope they plan on supporting case features for a while. Buy a case and the holographic lights stop working due to a software update.

A bit disappointed that Nvidia had more gaming-related announcements than AMD did. I know FSR4 Redstone just came out a month ago, but it would be nice to get an update on game support increasing.

they mainly mention that in the patch notes each month, they show what they added and what they fixed. Or at least, most months they did... last month probably more important to release redstone

It is also developer-dependent. AMD can't force game makers to update to FSR 3.1 or 4, so that is also part of why adoption is moving slowly. This time next year I bet FSR 3.1 and 4 natively built into games will become standard as that and DLSS are nearly perfect now.

That and games take several years to make, they need to work with the devs to integrate features and I am fairly sure they have a large amount of people doing that.

Back when DLSS first came out, I read an article somewhere about all the work developers had to do to get it to work properly, and it was pretty substantial. I imagine it's gotten at least a little easier now.

I have no idea how games are structured but they could just be plug ins.
RT was meant to make it easier but instead its just one more thing they have to do.
