Xiaomi officially launched the TKL mechanical keyboard last month. The keyboard is now available for purchase in China at a price of 199 yuan (US$ 27). Let’s delve into the key specs of this keyboard. Xiaomi TKL mechanical keyboard offers triple connectivity options, including Bluetooth, wired, and 2.4G wireless. The keyboard has a sleek black design and features an 87-key layout without a numeric keypad for a compact form factor. It includes dedicated buttons for switching between connection modes and is compatible with both Windows and Mac systems. This keyboard aims to provide versatility and save desk space.
Xiaomi offers this keyboard with two types
of mechanical switches: the linear VC-Pro and the tactile VB-Pro, both
employing satellite axis technology to enable a reliable typing experience with
full-key anti-ghosting capabilities. The keycaps are constructed using a
dual-color injection molding process that ensures character transparency,
which, combined with the built-in white backlighting, makes the keys visible
even in low-light conditions. This backlighting can be set to one of six
different lighting effects, adding a dynamic visual element to the user’s
setup.
The keyboard offers a stable typing
experience with features like a larger curvature and specially tuned switches.
It is compatible with both Windows and macOS layouts, supporting three
connectivity modes, including Bluetooth with the ability to remember up to
three devices for quick switching. The keyboard also provides customizable
switches with a lifespan of up to 50 million keypresses, allowing for a
personalized typing experience.
The keyboard also offers ergonomic
flexibility with three tilt angles to reduce wrist pressure for comfortable
extended use. Its thoughtful design includes a scientific key layout and
precision-tuned satellite axis for large keys, ensuring consistent and stable
key presses. These details aim to deliver a satisfying and fatigue-free typing
experience.
