Keychron's Nape Pro: A Trackball That Fits Anywhere
10 Jan
Summary
- The Nape Pro is Keychron's first trackball, offering versatile desk placement.
- It can be positioned traditionally, in front of the keyboard, or to the side.
- The trackball is expected to launch in the US in spring for $60 to $100.
Keychron has introduced the Nape Pro, a novel trackball that allows for highly adaptable placement on a desk. This marks the company's first venture into trackball technology, emphasizing a compact design that can sit to either side of a keyboard or even in front, enabling users to operate it without shifting their hand position from the keys.
This unique positioning strategy offers a functional advantage, akin to integrated pointing devices on laptops, allowing cursor movement and control via a rotary dial and six programmable buttons. This setup aims to streamline workflow by keeping hands stationary on the keyboard.
The Nape Pro is slated for an upcoming release in the United States during the spring season. Initial pricing is anticipated to range from $60 to $100, subject to potential adjustments based on import tariffs.
