Xiaomi has recently launched MiKey –a tiny accessory that attaches to a smartphone/tablet headphone jack and allows user to assign tasks and/or launch apps by just pressing it. Xiaomi MiKey It was back in October when we first stumble upon Pressy when its inventors brought it to Kickstarter with the hopes of garnering enough funds for their device to enter mass-production. There’s one in IndieGoGo called ShutIT, another one in a Chinese Kickstarter called Kuai Anniu (Speed Button) and MiKey which was recently launched by Xiaomi. Of all these so-called Pressy clones, the Xiaomi MiKey poses the biggest threat to Pressy’s success because Xiaomi has a more established presence in the global market, but also because MiKey is significantly cheaper ($0.80 vs $27) than Pressy. TechInAsia highlights the similarity between the Kuai Anniu and Xiaomi MiKey’s design According to one of his updates, Nimrod Back has stated that they will take legal actions against Pressy clones. Meanwhile, when asked by TechInAsia about the MiKey’s design, Xiaomi claims that “MiKey is its own design, and it did not acquire Kuai Anniu".
