ExtremeThe maker of a wide range of computing accessories announced a handful of new products at CES today, including the highly anticipated Trackpad Pro, a premium haptic standalone touchpad for Windows that’s wireless.
Hyper also announced a USB4 M.2 PCIe enclosure supporting NVMe SSDs and PCIe modules via USB4 at speeds of 64bps in an aluminum enclosure for thermal performance.

As well as three different solid state power banks with Qi2 wireless charging, up to 10,000 mAh capacity, and FindMy support for some next-generation charging capabilities on MagSafe compatible smartphones.
Practical with Hyper Trackpad Pro
I went hands-on with the Trackpad Pro earlier this year and found it to fill a gap in the market as a premium, highly customizable trackpad for Windows, targeting creatives, programmers or everyday users who prefer to use gestures on a laptop or desktop.
The result is a device that lacks significant parallels on the market, especially at this level of hardware. It features a 240Hz report rate for mouse-level accuracy, powered by multiple layers of click haptics. Its slanted design is equipped with smart palm rejection, allowing users to rest their hands on it without dislocating the cursor.

Power is unlocked with the associated Hydra Connect software, which allows the user to go as deep as they want with customizable gestures and smart actions, each linked to different functions in the list of supported apps.
In terms of connectivity, it couldn’t be simpler: there is a USB-C port located on the top of the device where it can be charged or used with a wired connection. When fully charged, you can expect a full month of battery life.
The Trackpad Pro will be available in late Q1 2026 for a price of $129.
HyperDrive USB4 M.2 PCIe enclosure
The HyperDrive Next USB4 M.2 PCIe Enclosure is an interesting accessory. It is designed to house SSDs and PCIe modules for fast data transfer without degradation, ideal for AI and machine learning accelerators. Installation is very easy. All you have to do is open the top and slide the drive into the slot until it clicks into place.
One problem with NVMe SSDs is that they can run really hot. To address this, the Hyper’s enclosure has been designed with an aluminum chassis that increases the surface area of the device for better passive cooling. Additionally, the company also includes thermal pads that sit directly on the drive to dissipate heat.

The enclosure supports a wide range of M.2 sizes, including 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280, providing users flexibility beyond higher capacity drives. There are two Thunderbolt ports on the front: one for data transfer and the other for external power delivery up to 25W.
The HyperDrive Next USB4 M.2 PCIe enclosure is on sale for $200, but buyers should double-check the system requirements before purchasing. For example, Windows 11 users will need a PC with a Thunderbolt 4 port. Not every computer supports this standard. If you try to connect it to a non-supporting PC, it will not read the attachments properly.
Solid State Qi2 Charger
Hyper’s solid state power banks exchange the liquid electrolyte chemistry found in most portable power banks for solid materials that run cooler, are less prone to overheating, and charge faster when paired with Qi2 and Qi2.2 technology.
Hyper is releasing a 5,000 mAh Qi2 power bank for $49, a 10,000 mAh power bank for $59, and a third version in both varieties with support for Apple’s Find My (and a handy kickstand to prop your phone up while charging) for $79.
