A new refillable Mi Pen from Mijia, a sub-brand of Chinese-based manufacturer Xiaomi, has been launched with a price tag of 19 yuan ($2.85).

Unfortunately, the Mi Pen is not a smart pen and does not magically store all that is written with it. However, it utilizes Swiss PREMEC Refills and features a quick-drying Japanese mikuni ink that does not fade easily. Also, the ink does not dry up if the pen is not used for a long period, according to Mijia .

According to Mobile Scout, the Mi Pen comes in two color variants, namely, black and white. It has a 120-degree spin that shows or hides the 0.5 mm high-precision ball tip made of tungsten. Its diameter is 9.5 mm. The connector is made of metal. The rotating member is made of copper that can last up to approximately 50,000 rotations.

The Mi Pen is a great gift to purchase for kids and friends going to college. It is like a normal pen but has a better build quality at a low price, Gizmo China reported.

Xiaomi started with smartphones and then expanded to other categories which generally lie under the smart home. The company announced approximately four months ago that all its smart home Mi-branded products would be made under the new Mijia brand name. Among the products released are the Mi induction heating pressure rice cooker that has Wi-Fi compatibility and a companion app as well as a portable, cheap electric mosquito repellent that can be attached to a smartphone or a power bank.
