Keychron's C100 8K macro pad packs 100 keys for $64.99

Shortly after teasing its new G6 HE gaming mouse and an updated M4 model, Keychron has officially launched the C100 8K, a macro pad that brings 100 programmable keys to the table. The device arranges those keys in a 10 by 10 grid, with per-key RGB backlighting across the entire layout.

The C100 8K lives up to its name with an 8 kHz polling rate, a feature now common across Keychron's newer keyboards. Out of the box, it ships with transparent ASA profile keycaps made from a PBT and PC plastic blend, paired with the company's Apex Red linear switches. For those who prefer a different feel, the board uses standard hot-swap sockets, so swapping switches is straightforward.

Beyond that, the C100 8K keeps things simple. It has a plastic case and connects via a wired USB Type-C cable, with no wireless option available for a cleaner desk setup. The macro pad is priced at $64.99 and is available directly from Keychron's online store. With 100 keys, it offers plenty of room for custom macros, shortcuts, or even a full keymap replacement for users who want a dedicated input device.
