On this week’s show it’s CES 2026, Park Two!

The Clicks Power Keyboard is on the left. And The Communicator is on the right.

Clicks Unviels Their Keyboard Case and The Communicator.

As you’ll see in the video Chad shot at CES 2026, Clicks introduced two new products. They are the Clicks Communicator and their new Power Keyboard. Chad liked both of these devices. The Power Keyboard words with your current smart phone, especially easy to use for recent MagSafe iPhones. This is designed for folks who like their current smartphone but wish it also has a physical keyboard.

The Communicator is designed to be a second carry along device for those who want a physical keyboard and a way to add a lot more ‘organization’ to your phone. And yes, it can serve as your complete phone and the only device you have to carry if you like. The chatroom seemed devided on buying this device which will be about $500. I don’t know how long it will last but it seems Clicks if offering a discount for now of $100. You’ll learn more about both devices directly from the company on this week’s show.

Giz Wiz fans know I never owned a car (but owned 26 boats!) But, even though I’m not a ‘car person’, I can say I really like the look of the new Honda Afeela 1. It’s the first electric vehicle from Sony Honda Mobility, merging Sony’s tech with Honda’s manufacturing ability.

Chad, who’s owned a Telsa for years, likes the advanced sensing for Level 2+ autonomy, and the huge panoramic display dash. According to the company, And I remember correctly, it has something like two dozen cameras watching everything around you, and inside the car too. It was features a dual-motor AWD, 300-mile range target, and a starting price around $90k-$100k. Deliveries are planned for California starting late 2026.

It’s a 3D, Four Color, Under $400.00 Printer!

This looked pretty exciting to Chad, thechatroom and me too. Here are a few key features of the i7 provided by the company:

One-tap photo to print, no modeling required. 50% Less-Waste Multicolor for Richer colors, less filament waste. Compact & Quiet：Fits any desk, runs quietly. Custom RGB Lighting：Print status visible at a glance. Beginner-Friendly: From Box to First Print in Under 5 Minutes. Quick-Swap Parts：Easy maintenance, minimal downtime.

From the Giz Wiz. Reducing the start-up time from box to 1^st print in under 5 minutes is an amazing game changer! And the $399.99 price seems great too.

Meet  The Timeli Personal Safety System! 

While CES 2026 Looked Ahead, In This CES Segment, We Look Back!

To contrast the new gadgets from CES 2026 we always look back at a gadget of a past CES and wonder: “Did it ever get produced? Is it still for sale?” Here’s a look at the Hackaball, a kid’s programmable LED ball. I saw it at CES 2016, exactly 10 years ago. Here’s the video of it and the post on our website about the Hackaball. And when you watch this week’s show you’ll find out about what happened to this device after the CES 2026 show. Here’s the Giz Wiz Show about Hackaball. There are lots of other gadgets from CES ten years ago too. If you just want to see the Hackaball demo start the video at about 22:57

Letter of the week:

It’s from Ivan Hahn, not only a contributor to the show, but a creator of several of our videos and themew!  Ivan emails us:

Hi Dick and Chad,

Last episode you spoke about the Kodak Super 8mm camera that is was $5000.00. Assuming you (Dick) had a film movie camera, which one did you have and how much was it? I know you spoke about filming “home movies” at the Match Game. Ivan Hahn

The Giz Wiz answers: Hi Ivan! On this week’s show you’ll get a bit of the backstage story of shooting 8mm film (yes, film) at the Match Game Show. I often asked celebrities appearing on the show to do a few seconds of something silly for the 8mm movies I made. That photo is a frame=shot from a video with Jayne Mansfield and lucky me. — And Ivan, thanks for various themes and videos you created for the Giz Wiz show! Including our latest Letters Theme!
