After the presentation of the new compact Black Shark keyboards, now it is Xiaomi that surprises us with the arrival of the new Xiaomi Wired Mechanical Keyboarda mechanical keyboard that automatically positions itself as one of its most interesting peripherals at a price-quality level, with a compact body, customizable switches, and a ridiculously low price.
Starting with its design, we find a full format keyboard, reducing its frames to the minimum expression to reduce its body to a size of 426 x 122 x 38.5 millimeters, yes, with a weight of 943 grams. And it is that although its body is mainly constructed of plastic materials, the keyboard has a one-piece molded lower case frame to increase its resistance.
Thus, the aesthetics of the Xiaomi Wired Mechanical Keyboard is completed with concave keys with a white LED backlight and 6 lighting presets, and an escape key finished off in an all orange, which undoubtedly stands out from the rest of the sobriety of it.
Some keys that, in addition to mechanical switches, have two types of customizable buttons depending on the model we choose, with classic green switches with increased bounce and characteristic “clicky” sound, and some red short-travel switches for fast keystrokes with reduced noise. And it is that this keyboard is designed to cover the basic functions of leisure and work, with a most versatile device.
