Back in late December 2020, Xiaomi crowdfunded Mi Portable Mouse 2, the successor to the original Mi Portable Mouse for ¥79 ($12) in its home country China. Since this wireless mouse had successfully completed the company’s crowdfunding goal within a few days, it is now officially available for purchase on multiple retailers.

Xiaomi Mi Portable Mouse 2 Specifications and Features

Before going on crowdfunding, the Mi Portable Mouse 2 was first spotted on Bluetooth SIG back in August 2020. Now, months after, this wireless mouse has finally hit the stores in China.

It features an anodized aluminum alloy body with a sandblasted surface, dual-tone finish, two colors(Silver, Space Gray), measures 109.8 x 60 x 25.7mm in dimensions, weighs about 86g (including battery). It is worth noting that this mouse is not entirely made of aluminum as it includes materials like ABS (acrylonitrile-butadlene-styrene) and polycarbonate).

One of the main USP (unique selling proposition) of this product is that it can either cannot via Bluetooth 4.2 LE or a 2.4GHz USB receiver that can be placed under the magnetic cover of the mouse alongside the battery when not in use. Hence, it can be connected with two devices at a time and can be easily switched between the two using a dedicated button.

A few months back, a mouse with Mi Portable Wireless Mouse 2 moniker got Bluetooth SIG Certification. Today, Xiaomi has finally crowdfunded the successor of the Mi Portable Mouse today in China. The new Mi Portable Mouse 2 has features like Dual-Mode connection, low energy Bluetooth, and more.

From the looks, the Mi Portable Mouse 2 looks like a successor to the Mi Portable Wireless Mouse that launched in India this year. However, unlike the latter, it has a darker silver version and a Black color variant. Also, at the back, it has a DPI switch which according to the company is 4-way adjustable.

At the front, we see a similar circular layout for the mouse-click buttons. However, there is an additional button that is for the dual-mode switch. Speaking of which, the Mouse supports dual-mode connection. Users can connect through a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and via the Bluetooth 4.2. This Bluetooth connectivity is provided by a Telink Low-Energy Bluetooth chip.

Once done, you can easily switch between the two screens with the button. That said, the mouse also has the usual Left, Right Click buttons and a two-way scroll wheel. The outer body of the mouse is built using Anodized Aluminum Alloy through a sandblasting process. The buttons and wheel have improved less-noisy clicks thanks to the soft rubber material.
