Xiaomi MK71 Pro: Mechanical keyboard with display and metal knob available as import

Only introduced two months ago, the Xiaomi MK71 Pro is now available for direct import at a price of $118. Shipping is free, but delivery times are quite long and customers cannot expect their warranty rights to be enforced in the event of a claim. The model comes with the QWERTY layout, which may make the keyboard unsuitable for languages that require special characters not typically found in the Latin alphabet. 

The Xiaomi MK71 Pro is a 358 x 114.8 x 39 millimeter keyboard that weighs 695 grams and does not have a complete layout. For example, the function keys on the top are missing as well as a number pad, but users can still manage just fine for most tasks. Additional features include a small display installed between the directional keys and the six-key pad, which shows the current battery status and the chosen connection standard. Users have the option of connecting via Bluetooth, cable or wireless 2.4 GHz and, according to Xiaomi, can quickly switch between the connection types. 

A metal rotary control is also installed, which can be used to control the volume. Moreover, specially adapted linear switches from TTC are installed. Lastly, RGB lighting is integrated and a battery life of up to 143 hours is advertised.
