Xiaomi has quietly launched a new Yuemi Mechanical Keyboard Pro and it is currently available on Mi Mall. The mechanical keyboard comes with a 599 Yuan ($94) price tag. 

The Mechanical keyboard retains the 87-key layout design of its predecessor but it is encased in a 6-series aluminium alloy body manufactured using an anodizing sandblasting process. The keyboard comes in Black and White colour options and both adopt the TTC red axis key switch design. It also comes with a structure which ensures that most of the noise generated during typing is absorbed. In other words, this is a noiseless keyboard. that is one of the major features of the product hence it is referred to as Silent edition.  The keycaps are made from a combination of PC+ABS materials and each of the caps have a unique fingertip touch. The keycap is elegantly styled with new font, while providing a single cmd keycap for use under MacOS. The keyboard also comes with a USB Type-C port for connecting the keyboard to a PC or laptop.

The mechanical keyboard is powered by a Microelectronics ARM architecture which controls its functionality. It can also be used as a gaming keyboard as it can achieve 10000Hz of professional gaming level performance. The Yuemi Mechanical Keyboard Pro Silent Edition is already available to buy on Mi Mall for a price of 599 Yuan ($94). No word yet on when this product will be available outside China but as usual, expect it on GearBest and other online retailers soon since the previous version is presently available.

Xiaomi has been launching a lot of new products via its crowdfunding platform recently, some under its own MIJIA brand and some via third party companies. Now, the company’s subsidiary Mi App Weibo account has just revealed via a new teaser that it will release a new product on October 18 i.e. next Tuesday.

This is not the first time we are hearing about a mechanical keyboard from Xiaomi. Earlier this year, there was a new leak which said that the company would release a new mechanical keyboard, which would be much cheaper than competitors, priced somewhere around 199 Yuan (~$29). However, later it was said that the company couldn’t find a perfect partner to release the device.

Now, taking a look at this teaser, it’s possible that the company will release a mechanical keyboard for the cheap. The gaming accessories market in China is large and a low-cost keyboard could turn out to be quite popular in the country. However, note that the teaser mentions that this is not a Mi product and it’s probably from a third party brand. So, even if it’s a keyboard, it’s going to be from a different brand launched via Xiaomi’s crowdfunding platform.

Expect more details in the next few days.
