Xiaomi Mouse
Xiaomi has released it’s first mouse which is the
first computer peripheral that you can buy for the Mi Notebook Air.
The Xiaomi Mouse has a lot going for it. The design
is unusual. The buttons and scroll key which are made from ABS plastic are
housed in a circle symmetrical to the underside that holds the sensors. The
circle is a part of one metal body that is shaped like a keyhole.
The body is made from sand-blasted anodized
aluminium, a design similar to that used for Apple Macbooks. The manufacturing
process helps prevent the mouse from scratches and wear. And since it is
aluminium it is light as well, weighing just 77.5 grams.
The underside of the Xiaomi Mouse is where the power
switch, bluetooth module and optical sensor are located. Xiaomi says the
high-precision sensor has a 95% accuracy and you can even use it on a surface
with frosted glass or fabric. The mouse can be paired via Bluetooth (Bluetooth
4.0 LE) or WiFi (2.4GHz) and even supports connecting to two devices at the
same time. Range is 10 meters though and there is a 3V battery that powers it.
The Xiaomi Mouse is compatible with Windows 7,
Windows 8 and Windows 10 devices. It costs just 99 Yuan (US$ 15) and will go on sale
on the 11th of November.
