Every year at CES, there are things that everyone wants to talk about. Sometimes, this is because technology is a leading example of innovation and design, suitable for us Best of CES Awards. Sometimes, it’s because they’re so odd and incomprehensible that you’re left with endless ideas. Read on to see the tools that made us raise our eyebrows and smile, aand follow all ours CES 2025 coverage here.
This Dungeons & Dragons Stern Pinball Machine features Star Trek’s Worf as your Dungeon Master
Pinball and Dungeons & Dragons are the perfect combination. Since the introduction of Bally’s 1987 Dungeons & Dragons pinball machine, many electronic devices have been added to pinball machines. Stern has taken the opportunity to pack the entire D&D adventure into this pinball machine. You choose a character from a number of pre-built categories and races, then try to develop your character by facing challenges. We love the idea, but to make things funnier, Stern brought Michael Dorn, best known for his role as Worf in. Star Trek: The Next Generation– act as a prison leader. The base model is $7,000, but if you want all the features of the limited model, the price is $13,000.
Meet the Cute Little Robot That Refreshes Your Drinks
The Nékojita FuFu does just two things: It cools your drinks and looks cool. It uses a “Fu-ing” algorithm that adjusts the different types of shots. The company claims it can reduce the temperature of hot drinks from 190°F to 160°F and 151°F in just five minutes. In addition to cups, FuFu can be placed on flat plates to cool the soup.
TCL AIme is a Multi-Type AI Walking Dog for Children
Imagine if your home robot could be a cute alien baby in a wheeled cart that you could also pick up as an AI hockey puck. The TCL robot was a bit of a mess, and it was strange to see it in action. AIme consists of three modules, each with different parts of AI software, including voice and image recognition. The last part is where you can rip AIme and take it with you on the road, letting you chat with the AI to get updates on your calendar, the weather, or whatever else you use your phone to do. If it weren’t so beautiful, I could always describe it, either by accident or on purpose, in the hands of my friends.
Anker’s Solix Solar Cape is more of a fashion statement than a practical utility tool
We have experienced it before solar energy collection capsso it doesn’t take a lot of thinking to see how the Anker Solix solar-coated umbrella can come in handy for a day at the beach or in your backyard. Then we get to Anker’s solar cape and the cyberpunk single neon strip running down it, and we’ve failed. This device could be a way to power up your phone and look cool while walking the runway or doing Comic Con cosplay, but we doubt you’ll catch a glimpse of the sun if you try to pick up this cap, where the neon light fades. cooperate. Then again, we’ve been advocating bringing back the shoulders ever since Assassin’s Creed II it was released in 2009.
This Spoon Shakes Your Tongue To Taste Salt
We have seen other new vessels, but nothing like this. Kirin, known for its ramen and soups, jumped into the food scene with the world’s first salted spoon. A plastic spoon with metal in the bowl and back of the stem uses very little electricity. Current trends promote naturally occurring sodium in your saliva to make everything you eat taste better. This can be a game changer for people on low sodium diets. Because, let’s face it, junk food isn’t fun. But with innovations like the electric salt spoon, people can make healthy food choices, crossing the line from food technology to medical technology.

The Alienware Area-51 Desktop Is Huge
Graphics cards are getting bigger every year. Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 50 cards are bigger and require more power than ever before. It’s understandable why cases need to grow, but the new Area-51 platform from Alienware is dangerous. That doesn’t mean they don’t have much to do. The case includes a sliding rail that should support any card you want. The “positive pressure” design of the case is unusual, and we believe that Alienware was able to make the case more durable since it claims to have less fans than usual.
Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Can Roll Like Two Laptops With Fewer Screen Inches
Lenovo came to CES with a number of strange gadgets, including a smart monitor with a personal speaker that can follow you around the room and a curved screen that can follow you with the help of a webcam. These two items may not be on sale, but one odd Lenovo product you can buy is the $3,500 Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable. It’s usually a 14-inch laptop, but with the click of a single key, it expands to a 16.5-inch laptop that’s taller than it is. There are some laptop users who can use a long screen, such as programmers, but they have to go through the price tag that is still a laptop, which you can easily find under $1,500 for the same specifications.
This Little Dongle Brings Lots of Fun
Motorbunny’s Fluffer PlayMate Haptic Relay plug-in can add a touch of sensuality to any game. It’s a USB-C plug-in dongle the size of a box of dental floss. Fluffer works with PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S, and Nintendo Switch. When connected, the device reads all haptic and accelerometer information and sends it to any Bluetooth-connected Motorbunny device. This includes the company’s sex machines, which are known for their power.
This keyboard changes with just a wave of the hand
Just when you think you’ve seen every keyboard design under the sun, you find something at CES that blows your mind. In our case, AutoKeybo splits the standard mechanical keyboard between the keyboard and touchpad sections with a slight twist. However, the optimal typing position is the same here, as AI Machine Vision will not retract or enlarge the keyboard in any way. And while it’s clear that AutoKeybo is focused on productivity, it’s also designed for people with disabilities. However, a Windows/Mac compatible device is a keyboard-based device.
Full Body VR Has Never Seen This Invisible
Shiftall showed off its HaritoraX 1.1B wireless tracking device that lets you control digital avatars with your entire body. So, if you want to put your wifi on a VR chat, this is for you.

Finally, There’s the Problem of Robots That Will Pick Up Your Dirty Socks
The Roborock Saros Z70 may look like an ordinary robot vacuum—until it goes to something that can’t suck. The Saros Z70 has an “OmniGrip” mechanical arm that extends from its chassis. It can pick up small items up to 300g and leave them in a designated place, such as a clothes rack or waste basket. While the Z70 took its sweet time picking up the socks in our demo, just imagine how many fights with your deranged roommate that would have prevented in college.
