60 euros for a well-equipped mechanical keyboard? This is the Xiaomi recipe.
Choosing a keyboard has become complicated. Logitech, Asus, Razer, Corsair, MSI, Cherry, Keychron… and now Xiaomi. Its nickname: MK71 Pro.

What are the best gaming keyboards (mechanical) in 2025?
The MK71 Pro immediately stands out with its compact format of 71 keys, this is what we call the TKL format. Unlike many of its competitors who sacrifice directional keys to gain compactness, Xiaomi has chosen to keep full-size arrows.
Here, the highlighted function is its multimedia module. The integrated 1-inch screen is more than just a gadget: it shows practical information like connection status, time, battery level and active RGB mode. Next to it, a rotating metal wheel allows quick volume control, a very present feature now.
Des switches TTC
The TTC switches used have a total travel of 30 mm with an activation point of 22 mm. There is the possibility of hot swapping them, this is the “hot-swap” functionality.
-Connectivity is another strong point of the MK71 Pro. With its triple connectivity (wired USB, wireless dongle and Bluetooth), it is suitable for all uses. But once again, nothing extraordinary here, it already exists.
Impressive battery life is provided by a 7,800 mAh battery, providing up to 143 hours of use without RGB, or 71 hours with active lighting.
Once again, Xiaomi is mainly focusing on price: at around 60 euros (449 yuan), the MK71 Pro is positioned very aggressively on the market. On the other hand, availability is limited to China at the moment, and obviously not in AZERTY provision.
