In the ongoing human effort to bend tools toward individual will, Keychron has released the C100 8K — a hundred-key programmable macro pad that arrives as pure potential, its every key unbound and waiting for purpose. Priced at $64.99 and built around an 8 kHz polling rate, the device asks its owner a fundamental question before it can be useful: what, exactly, do you need a machine to remember for you? It is less a finished instrument than a loom, and the pattern it weaves depends entirely on the hands that configure it.
