Keychron’s New Macro Pad Looks Like An April Fool’s Joke, But Is Indeed Real
It looks like a spoof product solely intended for shitposting (pardon my fluent French) purposes during April Fool’s, but it isn’t.

Keychron has unveiled the C100 8K macro pad, a product that initially appears to be an April Fool's joke due to its absurd appearance. The 10 x 10 layout features 100 keys, each initially unassigned, allowing users to customize them for their specific needs using the company's QMK-based Launcher. Despite the unconventional design, the C100 8K comes with RGB lighting support and hot-swappable Apex switches, offering users a multitude of customization options.
Sporting an 8K polling rate, the macro pad can communicate with a PC at a higher frequency, although the necessity of such a feature remains unclear. The C100 8K connects to PCs via a USB Type-C cable, making it a strictly wired device. The device measures 196.65 x 196.65mm and features adjustable feet for typing angles, along with a Type-C cable, a Type-A to Type-C adapter, and essential tools for keycap and switch removal.
The macro pad supports Windows, macOS, and Linux and boasts over 22 RGB lighting effects, including per-key RGB control and a Mix RGB feature that allows users to create two custom lighting zones.
