One of the most important element which we use everyday to talk to our desktop computers, the keyboard and mouse. I have bought this during my trip in China and wasnt hesitant to grab it when I saw this since I worked a lot with my keyboard and mouse daily, not to mention when I write this blog as well. Bad keybaord can be stressful, believe me especially when you need to exert more effort in clicking just to move to the next character is quite annoying. The mouse when its insensitive, makes me want to throw it to the trashbin as well. 

The Mi Wireless keyboard and mouse, basically takes out the clutter on your table, best of all its quiet. I dont hear any clicky sounds and its very very responsive to light touches on the keyboard. Now I can type faster and just need to get a little used to the shotcuts on top since I came from a Logitech keyboard. The mouse is nothing really special, its just another mouse which is as responsive as my logitech mouse, its not a ergonomic version therefore its just another optical mouse that it wireless.

Another TWS has popped up from Haylou, it seems to me the GT1 wont stop evolving, like a Pokemon. First it was the GT1, then GT1 Pro and now the GT1 Plus. Its like Charmander, Charmeleon and Charlizard, one of my favorite Pokemon of all time (sorry Pikachu but you will always be the cutest).
Check out the evolution chart of the GT1 series:

I’m not quite sure if there will be another one pretty soon, like a GT1 Lite? GT1 SE? GT1 Platinum? We shall see then.
For now, here is my take on this latest TWS for the GT1 Series, the sounds has improved thanks to the Qualcomm chipset inside, the disconnection is way lesser than the GT1 based on my experience. For the audio part, I can probably say that I dont really feel that much, probably it has improved a bit but honestly speaking, I am not a audiophile, so I leave that part to the experts in this field. The form factor and other features remains the same. Its still very portable and I love the way it is now with the slight improvement.
