Xiaomi has been launching its new products
with XiaoAI smart voice assistant built-in. Continuing the trend, the company
has today released Xiaomi XiaoAI Mouse, which as the name itself indicates,
comes with support for XiaoAI voice assistant. The product will be available
through crowdfunding in China on the company’s own website for a price of 129
yuan. However, that pricing is just for the crowdfunding campaign and the
retail price will be 149 yuan.
As for the design, the new mouse looks
similar to the Mi Wireless Mouse previously launched by the company. However,
it adds a new button which when long-pressed, triggers voice assistant. It
comes with an antibacterial casing, a metal roller, and a hidden microphone. It
has a USB Type-C interface and is powered by a built-in 750mAh battery which
the company claims can offer 30 days of usage and 180 days of standby time.
This Xiaomi XiaoAI Mouse also marks the
first entry of the voice assistant in the office use-case products that can be
used with a computer. The voice assistant comes with support for thousands of
smart skills, claims the company. It comes with dual-mode connectivity options
— Bluetooth and USB. It can also be connected to two computers at the same
time. Users can hold the left and right keys for about three seconds
simultaneously to switch between the computers.
The mouse supports several voice commands
such as “Open Word” and it opens the computer’s default word processor.
Similarly, you can command “Computer Shutdown” and your computer will initiate
the shutdown process. Apart from support for voice commands, it also comes with
voice input. This can be very helpful for those who can’t type but now they can
quickly add content through voice input. It also supports voice translation and
word translation from Chinese to English, Japanese, and Korean.
Just like other products from Xiaomi, this
one too supports controlling of smart home products through voice commands.
