There is nothing that Xiaomi does not involve. In its official mall, you can find almost any product with a wide range, comparable to Taobao and Jingdong. Now the release of Xiaomi mouse has strengthened its product line. In such a competitive peripheral industry today, can Xiaomi take their portable mouse to grab a piece of the chassis in this field?

The same packaging

The packaging box is still Xiaomi's family style, simple white box, and the product appearance is printed on the front of the package.

(Just about to come out)

The package content is very simple, including the Xiaomi mouse body and a warranty card/instructions.

Simple appearance

"There is not too much decoration". This sentence is enough to summarize this mouse. The surface is an aluminum alloy plate, and the mouse button and wheel area are embedded in this metal. The side of the mouse is designed from top to bottom. Unlike the sleek design of many modern mice, the Xiaomi mouse is slightly square, which brings visual difference and also has more recognition. Except for the aluminum alloy on the surface, other parts of the mouse are ABS plastic. It feels good to the touch, without the hard plastic feeling. Due to the different positioning, the Xiaomi mouse does not have any other customized function keys, which is understandable for the product priced at 99 yuan.

The overall appearance is very clean, without any extra elements. Because all the functions that need to be adjusted are placed at the bottom of the mouse and turned over, the shape of two circles separates different functional areas, and there is an indicator light/button above. Next to the indicator light is the Bluetooth and 2.4GHz logo, Press this indicator light to switch between Bluetooth and 2.4GHz modes. In addition, there are switches and photoelectric sensors under the indicator light（ 1200dpi ） 。

The circle below is a rotary rear cover, which is very simple to open. It has two No. 7 batteries from Zimi, and a 2.4GHz receiver inside, which is used to plug into the USB port of the computer.

(In front of the boy's palm, the Xiaomi mouse looks small and exquisite.)

In general, the Xiaomi mouse is quite good in the appearance design. I believe that there will be a large audience for its simple style. It is very small on the whole. Girls will like this mouse, especially those with small hands.

Common feeling

Touch, grip and hand feel are among the most important elements of a mouse, but unfortunately, Xiaomi is relatively ordinary in this respect.

The metal surface sounds very impressive. You can also see it on the official introduction page, saying that it uses the same metal technology as MacBook, but the feeling is far from MacBook's metal touch. It can't be said that the experience is bad, but it can only be said that it is standard. After all, Apple has been a metal expert for decades, and it is normal to be difficult to compete.

(A piece of aluminum alloy at the top, the white part is ABS plastic)

The overall transition of the Xiaomi mouse surface is very smooth and looks good, but when you place your hand on it, neither the palm nor the fingers can be well supported. In addition, if you are a male user, this big mouse can't take care of your big palm at all. It will not have any impact if you use it for a short time, but if you use it for high intensity and long time, There will be some discomfort in the hands.

The pressing force of the key is 0.6N. The lower the position is, the greater the force is required. The physical feedback of the key is good, and the pressing sound is very crisp and pleasant, without any sense of cheapness. If there are any shortcomings in the hand feel, it's not the scroll wheel on the Xiaomi mouse. Although the damping feeling is good when rolling, the scroll wheel is too small, so the fingers do not feel "satisfied" when they are placed on it, and the protruding part of the scroll wheel is too small, so the overall feeling is general.

Bluetooth&2.4GHz

The Xiaomi mouse has two connection modes, namely Bluetooth and 2.4GHz. You can switch through the indicator button at the bottom of the mouse. The Bluetooth light is blue, and the 2.4GHz light is green. After long pressing the bottom indicator light, the blue light will light up. At this time, turn on the Bluetooth of the computer/notebook, and you can find the Xiaomi mouse. It is very simple to click, connect, and use.

(Green light, 2.4GHz mode at this time)

The biggest advantage of having two connection modes is convenience. To use the 2.4GHz mode, you need to plug the receiver into the USB port of the computer, plug and play, 2.4GHz is better in terms of battery life. It usually does not need to replace the battery for half a year, but the disadvantage is also obvious. It must occupy a USB interface of the computer. In Ultrabooks, the interface is very precious, and it is worth every penny.

(Blu ray, Bluetooth mode)

On the contrary, Bluetooth does not need to occupy the USB interface. As long as the computer/notebook has Bluetooth function, it can be connected and used. It is more convenient to use. It is not limited to one computer, and it can be used on demand. The 2.4G mode requires that the receiver be plugged into a different computer before it can be replaced. However, even if the Bluetooth 4.0 standard is used, the range is not as good as 2.4GHz.

However, in general, the pure use of the two methods is not very different. They both use the same frequency, but the protocol is different. The biggest feeling to users is the way of connection. Bluetooth is convenient and power saving for business travel, and 2.4G at home. In addition, it can achieve two in one Bluetooth 2.4G, and the price is controlled below 100 yuan. It is very conscientious.

Enough experience

Judging from the positioning of the Xiaomi mouse, it is certainly not specially used for playing games, or even for office work. But the weight of 77.5g and the small fuselage* 110.2 x 57.2 x 23.6mm No matter where you go with it, you won't feel burdensome, and you can even put it in your pocket. Especially for business people who often work outside, the Xiaomi mouse can be said to be absolutely competent for its duties, and through Bluetooth connection, you don't need to occupy the USB interface, let alone worry about the loss of the receiver. Another advantage is that the Xiaomi mouse can be used in almost any scene, regardless of where it is used. Similarly, it is very practical for users who often go out.

The 1200 dpi can be used on the screen of a small notebook without any problems, but if you use it on a 20 inch or more display screen, you will find that your hands often need to move significantly, and you will feel a little tired after using it for a long time. However, compared with the mouse with a high dpi, the Mickey Mouse will be more comfortable when it needs accurate operation, and will not drift.

game?

If you are a game enthusiast, then I believe you will not play with the millet mouse, because most fans will spend a little more expensive to buy a product that is more suitable for the use of games, because the wired mouse will have more choices if it costs more than 100 yuan. However, if you are just an ordinary player and occasionally play some lightweight games, it can still satisfy you, because such users will not buy a special mouse for games.

Practical contradiction

Xiaomi mouse, it is very practical, but it is not practical. During the period of my experience, the most important thing for me is that it is very practical（ Starbucks ）When I work, I will not hesitate to take the Xiaomi mouse with me, because it supports Bluetooth and will not occupy one of the laptops with only three USB interfaces. In addition, the 77.5g weight and compact volume ensure that I will not compromise on functions while being light, and that I need to meet people when working outside. The simple and elegant appearance will not lose my face, It is very harmonious to use it with a notebook made of aluminum alloy.

However, during the experience period, the Xiaomi mouse also gave the author an impractical feeling. If I often stay at home or in the company, I prefer to use a wired, high dpi mouse with multiple macro keys, because this way, I don't need to worry about the battery replacement problem caused by battery life, and now the office monitors are usually 20-25 inches, The higher dpi will be easier to use. You don't need to move your hands frequently. The 1200 dpi of the Xiaomi mouse will be a little stretched. Moreover, users who work hard and need to use a lot of software usually choose a mouse with macro keys, which can reduce many tedious operations.

So where should I put the Xiaomi mouse? Although it has no macro, no fancy RGB lights, and no great grip, since the author got this product, when I need to go out, the first thing I think of is it. At this time, when I think about it carefully, it is clear that the Xiaomi mouse actually plays a role to assist you in your digital life, not as a leading figure, As mentioned above, when you need to operate accurately, you can take out the Xiaomi mouse and use it with a laptop via Bluetooth connection when working outside, on business trips, or on any occasion. Then you will find everything is so satisfactory.

The last sentence

Open a shopping website and search for "Bluetooth mouse". You will find that the one cheaper than the Xiaomi mouse is not as good as it is, and the one better than the Xiaomi mouse is not as cheap as it is. The official price is 99 yuan. There are two connection modes of Bluetooth and 2.4GHz, and the appearance is not bad, which verifies the immortal saying: What more bike?
