Xiaomi Yuemi MK06C: Design

The keyboard has a simple classic design. It is completely white with black numbers and letters. Xiaomi Yuemi MK06C is made in a minimalist design, like most Xiaomi devices.

The dimensions of the keyboard are 44.60 x 13.70 x 3.30 cm and the weight is slightly more than one kilogram.

The keyboard is made of thin plastic PBT (polybutylene terephthalate). It is more comfortable and ergonomic to use compared to ABS plastic keyboards. In addition, PBT plastic is more durable, so the keyboard is protected from mechanical damage.

The case has a matte finish, while the keys are glossy.

Thanks to PBT material, the keys don’t slip, even after a long time of use.

Xiaomi Yuemi MK06C connects to a computer or laptop via USB cable. It is quite long – 1.8 meters. We are glad when the manufacturer does not save on the cable length.

On the right, there are four LEDs that alert the user about enabled functions, such as “Caps Lock”. Below we can see two small legs and two long ones. They are used to change the height of the keyboard.

Xiaomi Yuemi MK06C: Functions

The main feature of new Xiaomi keyboard is Cherry Red switches. These switches are made in Germany and are often used by manufacturers of gaming keyboards. Each key has a stroke of 4 mm. Also, they are pressed almost silently.

By the way, the minimum weight for pressing a key is only 45 grams. The text is typed comfortably and easily. The keyboard is perfect for typing text for a long time.

As for compatibility with a computer or laptop, the keyboard works with Windows and MacOS devices.

In addition, Xiaomi Yuemi MK06C has a Windows key to perform different tasks. This is a really important key for many users. On the other hand, 2019 Xiaomi keyboard does not have an FN key. This is the only flaw we found, but it’s normal for keyboards made in China.

The keyboard consists of 104 keys and has a QWERTY layout.
