Keychron released the C100 8K, a 10-by-10 macro pad with 100 customizable keys, per-key RGB, hot-swappable Keychron Apex tactile switches, and an 8K polling rate, priced at $64.99.
A 100-key programmable grid at this price gives engineers, video editors, and simulation enthusiasts a dense, customizable input surface without buying specialized panels. The 8K polling rate and QMK support make it suitable for latency-sensitive applications beyond typical macro pad use.

The C100 8K provides 100 customizable keys in a 10x10 layout, though the four corner keys are not programmable.
It ships with exclusive pre-lubed Keychron Apex tactile switches on hot-swappable sockets, paired with transparent ASA keycaps for RGB visibility.
Configuration runs through the online Keychron QMK launcher, avoiding local software installation, and the pad is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux.
