The Nape Pro was Keychron’s first trackball device introduced at CES 2026 with a slim, compact design allowing it to be positioned directly against a keyboard. The company’s new T1 HE looks more like other trackball mice already available from companies like Logitech and Kensington with a 34mm ball positioned sideways to improve ergonomics. But because hands and fingers come in different sizes, the T1 HE allows you to fine-tune the position of its trackball with minor positional adjustments so that it sits squarely under your thumb without any reach.
The T1 HE is now available for pre-order on Keychron’s online store for $59.99 in black, white, or translucent color options. Shipments are expected to begin in early December. A pair of wheels located under the mouse adjust the vertical and horizontal position of the trackball, which can also be extended or retracted. Adjustments are limited to a few millimeters in either direction, but these minor ergonomic improvements could go a long way toward making the T1 HE more comfortable to use regularly.
The sensitivity of the T1 HE’s optical sensor can be adjusted from 100 DPI to 2,400 DPI using a button that cycles through presets or the Keychron Launcher software which also allows for other customizations including button remapping and macro creation. The mouse features six customizable buttons in total and a 600 mAh battery that can last up to 106 hours of use in Bluetooth mode, or 98 hours using an included 2.4 GHz wireless receiver. If you don’t want to worry about charging, the T1 HE Wireless Adjustable Trackball Mouse can also be used with a USB-C cable.
