A well-equipped keyboard from Xiaomi is now available for direct import. The model comes with a display, a rotary control and replaceable keys. It can also be connected to several devices at the same time. However, a purchase should be carefully considered.
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.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
