Xi Control is a lightweight tray utility for Xiaomi / Redmi (Redmibook) laptops,
built primarily for the Xiaomi Book Pro 14 (2026) but not limited to it.
Battery care (charge limit) with automatic re-arm after sleep, five performance
modes including the hidden Eco mode, OSD overlays, Mi button gestures, special
key fixes (Fn-Lock OSD, microphone mute, keyboard backlight levels) and an
owl mode that keeps the system awake while the lid is closed on AC power.
Everything is driven through the firmware's stock WMI interface - no WinRing0,
no third-party drivers. Requires administrator rights (a firmware WMI
requirement); the app elevates itself via UAC on launch.
