Keychron opens pre-orders for wireless trackball with adjustable ball position
Keychron has opened pre-orders for the T1 HE, a wireless trackball mouse with a ball that can be repositioned to suit different hands. Small adjustments may help users keep their thumb comfortably over the ball, making the mouse more ergonomic for regular use.
The ball can be moved a few millimetres vertically or horizontally using dials on the underside, and can also be extended or retracted. The mouse costs $59.99 and comes in black, white or translucent finishes, with shipping expected in early December. It has six customisable buttons, adjustable sensitivity from 100 to 2,400 DPI, and a 600mAh battery rated for up to 106 hours over Bluetooth or 98 hours with the 2.4GHz receiver; it can also connect by USB-C.
In short
- Keychron’s T1 HE trackball is available to pre-order for $59.99.
- Its ball position can be adjusted by a few millimetres.
- Shipping is expected to begin in early December.
Explained simply
Trackball mice move the pointer when you roll a ball with your thumb, rather than moving the whole mouse across a desk. They can be useful where desk space is limited, and keeping the hand in one place may suit some people for regular computer use.
Keychron is a company that makes computer accessories, including keyboards and mice. The position of a trackball can affect how comfortably a person reaches it, so a mouse that lets users adjust the ball may accommodate differences in hand size or preference. Comfort is personal, and adjustable positioning does not guarantee that a device will suit everyone.
