Keychron T1 HE trackball mouse, Digi Mart USA News: Keychron has launched a new trackball mouse called the T1 HE, which takes a conventional right-handed ergonomic shape with a 34 mm trackball embedded in the right side. The device is priced at $59.99, roughly half the price of the Logitech MX Ergo S, according to the publisher’s report.
The T1 HE is available for pre-order on Keychron’s international store, with shipping expected to start around the end of November. The mouse had previously been sold in certain Asian countries, the report says.
The mouse’s two standout features are an adjustable trackball position and new MagOpt switches. According to the report, the MagOpt switches combine Hall effect and optical switch technology, which Keychron claims will boost longevity and allow additional customisation while keeping a traditional mouse switch feel.
Users can adjust the trackball position using two screws on the underside of the device. The report states these allow 2–2.5 mm of adjustment on the Z axis and 3–3.5 mm on the X and Y axes.
The trackball housing can also be removed for cleaning or replacement with a heavier or lighter ball.
Software customisation is handled through the Keychron Launcher web app and includes on-board memory, button remapping, macros, separate functions for key combinations and adjustable actuation. The report notes the last feature may be useful for gaming.
The T1 HE supports 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, with a USB Type-C port for wired use and charging.
