    Ugreen’s new desktop charger can deliver 240W to power-hungry laptops.

    You can already get multi-port desktop USB-C chargers with a status screen from companies like Satechi, Baseus, and Anker. What sets Ugreen’s new $199.99 Nexode Pro 300W apart is that in addition to six USB-C charging ports and a USB-A port, it includes a barrel-style port that can deliver 240W to a beefy laptop.

    Keychron puts the macro in macropad.

    Its new C100 8K Giant Custom Macro Pad packs 100 keys (sitting atop swappable Keychron Apex switches) into a 10x10 grid that will take a sizable bite out of your desktop. It’s available now for $64.99 and features an 8,000Hz polling rate and per key RGB lighting that you can potentially use to differentiate what each key does.
