The Nape Pro was Keychron’s first trackball device to debut at CES 2026 with a slim, compact design that allows it to be placed directly against a keyboard. Instead, the company’s new T1 HE is more like other trackball mice already available from companies like Logitech and Kensington with a 34mm ball placed on the side to improve ergonomics. But since hands and fingers come in various sizes, the T1 HE allows you to adjust the position of your trackball with minor positional adjustments so that it rests directly under your thumb without having to stretch it out.
The T1 HE is now available for pre-order through Keychron’s online store for $59.99 in black, white, or translucent color options. Shipping is expected to begin in early December. A pair of dials on the bottom of the mouse are used to adjust the vertical and horizontal position of the trackball, which can also be extended or retracted. Adjustments are limited to a few millimeters in any direction, but those small ergonomic improvements could go a long way toward making the T1 HE more comfortable to use on a regular basis.
The sensitivity of the T1 HE’s optical sensor can be adjusted from 100 DPI to 2400 DPI using a button that cycles through presets or the Keychron Launcher software that also allows for other customizations, including button remapping and creating macros. The mouse features six total customizable buttons and a 600 mAh battery that provides up to 106 hours of use in Bluetooth mode, or 98 hours when 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.
