Xiaomi‘s ecological chain company MIIW Technology today held a product launch conference earlier today where it took the wraps off a couple of gadgets. The product consists of two mechanical keyboards and a wireless mouse.

The MIIW Elite keyboard uses an 85-key design with scissor keys. The keycap is round, the corners are rounded, the thickness is 7.8 mm, and the frameless design is very compact. The keyboard supports dual-mode connection, that is it can be connected via Bluetooth and also via a dedicated USB wireless receiver. Also, the keyboard has support for Windows and MacOS.

In addition, there is a voice prompt key between the “Alt” and “Ctrl” keys, to the right of the space bar. The key activates the HKUST Xunfei Voice Pack, which can not only input text by long-pressing the voice key but also double-clicking activates a series of smart operations on the PC such as querying weather and opening tables.

The MIIW Elite Mouse also supports dual-mode connection of Bluetooth and USB wireless receivers. In terms of the design, the wireless mouse presents with a symmetrical design, non-slip texture on the back, and a magnetic back shell design that supports height elevation to achieve different grip feelings.

Finally, the MIIW dual-mode keyboard 85 also has an 85-key layout, and the appearance design is basically the same as the MIIW Elite keyboard with richer colors. However, the voice key isn’t included on this model instead a Function (Fn) key takes its place.

All three products will be available on Xiaomi Youpin for crowdfunding from February next year. Specifically, the MIIW Elite keyboard and MIIW Elite mouse are priced at 299 yuan ($42) each and be launched on Xiaomi Youpin on February 25. The crowdfunding price will be lower, though – 199 yuan ($28). On the other hand, the MIIW dual-mode keyboard 85 comes with a 179 yuan ($25) price tag and will be available on Xiaomi Youpin on March 11.
