8 ingenious peripherals that caught attention at CES 2025

As the name suggests, CES (The Consumer Electronics Show) is a place to showcase new consumer electronics products. Unfortunately, most of them are PC-related products, but you can find many other interesting products other than PCs. We introduce products that caught our eye as we walked around the large exhibition hall.

LG Ultrafine 32U990A 6K Monitor

LG

Production-oriented users should take note of this new 32-inch Ultrafine monitor from LG. This product not only provides 6K resolution, but also supports Thunderbolt 5, allowing Macs equipped with M4 Pro or higher chips to utilize the 120Gbps bandwidth of Thunderbolt 5. Surprisingly, it uses a Nano IPS black panel rather than OLED, and provides a wide color gamut covering 99.5% of Adobe RGB and 98% of DCI-P3. Given that LG is continuing close display cooperation with Apple, this product may serve as a preview of Apple’s Pro Display XDR, which is known to be released this year. .

EcoFlow Power Hat

EcoFlow

Is your active lifestyle being hindered by the battery life of your electronic devices? Then you need a Power Hat. This product can use solar energy to charge two devices at the same time. Solar panels are installed on the entire visor, so you don’t have to worry about the angle of your head. It offers both USB-A and USB-C ports, and according to Ecoflow, this hat can charge its 4,000mAh battery in 3 to 4 hours. It also provides a function to cool down the heat.

autokibo

We go back and forth between the keyboard and mouse/trackpad every day. This process may be annoying, or doing it unconsciously may cause uncomfortable accessibility issues. AutoKeybo is a product that solves this problem. The built-in camera detects simple gestures and automatically switches between the keyboard and input device. The top convertible shelf holds a full-size keyboard, while the bottom shelf holds a keypad and a mouse or trackpad. Imagine a keyboard and trackpad that work like magic.

ShiftCam Planck

ShiftCam

Planck is a USB-C SSD available in 1TB or 2TB capacity. Its small size makes it ideal for use with a smartphone. It is especially useful when shooting video in the iPhone’s ProRes format. Because ProRes videos have large file sizes, they can quickly consume storage space. Plank provides transfer speeds of up to 1050MBps

ESR

MagMouse, produced by ESR, is suitable for users who frequently lose their mouse. The mouse comes with a standard stand that can be attached to any surface, such as a MacBook or Mac Pro, and the mouse can be magnetically attached to the stand when not in use. MagMouse charges with a foldable USB-C cable and supports 2.4GHz wireless or Bluetooth connection. Unfortunately, it doesn’t charge when docked, but it is a useful option as an alternative to MagSafe.

Belkin

Auxiliary batteries are common products at CES, but Belkin’s new product has elements that make it stand out. The first is five gorgeous colors: Powder Blue, Sandbox, Fresh Yellow, Pepper, and Lavender. The second is a unique design inspired by a camera grip. This design combines the functionality of a high-capacity auxiliary battery and the practicality of an ergonomic mobile phone grip. The product features a 10,000mAh battery, 7.5W magnetic wireless charging, a foldable USB-C charging cable, and a small LED screen that displays the remaining battery capacity. When attached to the back of a cell phone, it looks similar to a point-and-shoot camera. It even has a built-in shutter for quick photo taking.
