    I’m using it for more than a year now, and I’m still happy with it. 🙂

    Yes it’s a bit pricey, but I’m glad that I can use the same keyboard for my personal and work computer.
    Looks cool, feels cool, and saves space on my home office desk.

    I loved this keyboard so much when I got one at work I bought myself one, I love the fact that even with the lights out I can use this keyboard, I love the keypress, when the battery is getting low it might take a second for the backlight to come on. When the lights stop coming on stick your cable in as the battery is too low. It might be on the expensive side, but for me, it is well worth the money, all day every day. I would recommend and buy it again. I can’t comment on gaming as I don’t use it for that.

    I got this after a folding keyboard I purchased for portability completely failed.

    Fed up with messing about with poor quality low-to-medium priced equipment failing me, I went for the mx mini as I had seen it recommended quite a bit, and indeed it is a very comfortable and responsive bluetooth keyboard. The multi-device pairing is also very intuitive and it’s convenient and fast to switch between them.

    Not quite as tiny as a foldable keyboard, but this feels like you could use it to beat somebody to death with it in a pinch, and I no longer trust the folding ones to survive even low-impact usage.

    Good keyboard for office use and designed well for smooth typing. Battery life could be improved for those of us that spend a lot of time typing. Backlight works well when looking down at the keyboard but not when typing with outstretched arms in a darkened environment. Keyboard could also benefit from a slight lip at the bottom of the keyboard as the bottom line of keys are very close to the edge. However overall a decent keyboard compared to other compact keyboards used.

    The keyboard is indeed super comfortable and silent. But the battery make is very heavy and for me that uses is about 9 hours a day (light on low) I need to recharge about every 10-15 days. For a battery that heavy and big I would expect a long battery life. But besides this, I don’t regret buying.

    Chuffed to bits I finally have a sturdy solid functional wireless keyboard. Works great with my M1 Max Macbook Pro. But too heavy to be portable.

    Now I want to write a book as typing is so comfortable. No flimsy feel about this and battery lasts a long time (weeks so far). Although the battery has lasted so long, I have not tested the charging cable yet!

    So buzzing about this purchase. Why did I not get a wireless keyboard years ago? I was not sure if this would be worth the money but I feel it is. Only issue is now I want to buy a wireless trackpad!

    I’ve been using logitech products for some time now. I loved the MX Keys, so i thought as i was in the market for a smaller keyboard, i’d give the MX keys mini ago.

    To cut a long story short, dont bother buying if you plan on only connecting via Bluetooth (in windows). It was the most frustrating few days of my life trying to troubleshoot. In the end i gave up and purchased the MX master 3S to go along side the keyboard, but for most importantly, it comes with the new bolt reciever.

    Its been fantastic to be honest. No more sporadic dissconnects. Solid experience so far.

    I can honestly on recommend this keyboard, but only if you’re either buying/already have the bolt reciever.

    So I was merely looking for a Wireless keyboard that used the 2.4Ghz USB mini adapter; as I preferred that over Bluetooth. (more solid/reliable IMO)…and so I was having a hard time finding one that seemed worthy…I came across this Logi keyboard and while I was not a fan of the price at all, I know that I loved my Logi MX Anywhere 2 mouse that I had since around 2016, and still going strong. And so I took the leap and got this keyboard. And WOW, it’s build quality has totally blown me away…strong, sturdy, has good weight to it. Just a ‘premium’ looking and feeling keyboard. The only downside is that you need to buy the BOLT USB receiver separately (https://amzn.eu/d/18eBq77) for an already expensive keyboard. But at the end of the day, with the premium ‘look’ and ‘feel’ of this keyboard, I’d say it’s worth the investment.

    I need to be honest. I always bought the most reviewed and cheaper keyboard and mouse around when I needed it. But I never thought that investing on a more premium keyboard and mouse set would make a difference in my life. The Logitech MX Keys keyboard is something else, it’s an absurd how its keys feels good when typing, how smart it is the backlight that illuminates confirming your space brightness, conserving battery when it does not need to be lit.

    As for the M720 Triathlon Multi-Device Wireless Mouse, it’s comfortable to use, you can customize ALL its buttons via software, and the fact you can use both products on three different devices with a click of a button makes it more interesting so you can swiftly changes devices while working on different things at the same time.

    Bought this keyboard for general office use and software dev. It came with a unifying USB dongle but I don’t use it because I already have a Logitech mouse that also came with one. It’s great that I don’t have to waste another USB port.

    It’s a good looking keyboard and wonderful to type on. High quality plastics. Key action is solid with a perfect amount of travel. Very useful shortcut keys and has a num pad but still manages to be quite compact. Height is not adjustable but the fixed height is fine for me. Battery is excellent so far. I don’t use the backlight so after a month’s use the battery level is still full. Logitech’s unified Options+ software is really good. It allows management of all Logitech devices and good level of customisation.

    I live and work abroad and unfortunately Logitech do not allow exports of their localised products. I was desperate to get this keyboard with UK layout so a big thank you to Amazon UK for shipping this renewed product (actually good as new) to Japan with no hassle at all. Took about a week to arrive and still worked out cheaper than buying locally.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI really love this keyboard. It makes typing feel joyful and it’s made a huge difference to how I feel during the working day. I’m even getting better and faster at typing because of it – I used to sort of touch type but mostly look at my fingers while doing it, but pressing the keys is now so easy I am looking at the screen more and my typing is getting better. I have nerve damage in my little finger and ring finger on one hand and they are a bit weak and numb but the little dents in each key help those dodgy fingers know where they are on the keyboard and the amount of resistance as each key goes down is perfect – very light but enough that you can feel it.

    A lot of the special keys are unfamiliar which is taking some getting used to and I don’t know what most of them do yet. I couldn’t work out how to take a screen shot, it’s supposed to be the camera icon but that didn’t work for me, but the snipping tool shortcut is to hold down opt|start and shift and then click s, which is more useful anyway.

    I hesitated before spending so much on a keyboard but it was definitely worth it.

    I’m very happy with this keyboard, I deducted a star because Logitech has plenty of time to add the ability to have the backlight timer set to be longer than 5 seconds. In logi Options+ all you can do is turn the backlight on or off.

    If set on the backlight activates when your hands are close to the keyboard but then only lasts 5 seconds. This wasn’t so much an issue for me because I have a light on my desk and prefer to disable the backlight to have the keyboards battery last as long as possible.

    This keyboard also works with same usb receiver that the mx master mouse does which was another reason I wanted to try this one.

    As long as you don’t care about the backlight issue I’m sure you will enjoy using the keyboard it’s really nice to type on.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersSince I’ve been working from home (during and following the pandemic), I’ve had to make do with either my son’s cast off gaming keyboards (not ideal for office work) or a cheap Logitech wired keyboard which I think cost me about 10.

    I looked at various keyboards before buying this one, and it has been a pleasure to use…

    It has Bluetooth built in, and can also connect to a USB wireless dongle, which is provided. It can connect to 3 different devices, and has a quick button to connect to each, so I’m able to connect this to my work laptop, my home desktop or my Chromebook as needed.

    The keyboard is kind of like a top end laptop keyboard, in that it is a scissor switch, membrane type (it’s not mechanical) with a very shallow degree of travel on the keys. However, I find that this lets me type relatively quicker compared to a full mechanical keyboard that has a greater amount of key travel.

    It is also LED back lit, which is great if using in dim light. This can be set to be fully on (which shortens the battery life) or through a range of settings to being completely off. I have it set on the minimum light setting… this detects your hands near the keyboard and switches the back light on. When you stop typing for so many seconds, it will automatically switch off again.

    The battery last probably a couple of weeks between charges on this setting, however, I have a USB 3.0 to USB C cable plugged into my laptop, so I can easily recharge if needed.

    It might seem expensive for a non-mechanical keyboard, though given how many hours I spend using it, and how nice it is to use, I definitely think it’s worth the price.

    The Logitech MX Keys Advanced Illuminated Wireless Keyboard is a solid and robust kb with lovely clicky keys that feel great to type with. I am not a gamer but us the PC for work and personal admin so on it for about 10 hours a day. I only have it linked to one PC but it will link to 3. I linked it easily to an existing Unify dongle that I was using with my MX vertical mouse.
    The kb is compatible with apple and that is where I have only given 4 starts. The kb tries to do too much with the following keys having MS and apple markings: windows, alt, alt gr, left Ctrl, @, 2. This is very distracting and I have not yet got used to them, my muscle memory being the only thing helping me out.
    I would also love a vol down key like the vol up key that does not share an F key. I have my F keys set to default so the media buttons need a fn plus key stroke.
    Despite this kb annoyances, I would buy it again.

    I bought this to go with my MX Master 3 mouse. I use them primarily to control an iMac and my laptop to do work on.

    The build quality is great, it’s mostly plastic, but has a metal back and it’s actually fairly heavy. In a good way.

    It’s easy to connect, I didn’t need to use the dongle however, cause both my computers have Bluetooth.

    The Logitech software is good too. You can customise some of the keys functions to whatever you want, be it a function, open an app or perform a key combination.

    Pairing it with the likes of the MX Master mouse is handy when controlling 2 or more computers too. I just move my mouse to whatever side of the screen the other computer is on, and the Logitech software automatically pairs the mouse and keyboard to the other computer, to provide a ‘near’ seamless controlling of each computer. All without using. KVM switch or that. You can even copy a file or text from one computer and paste it to another, as if it was the same computer you were on.

    Manually changing the keyboard to another computer is easy too, it has 3 buttons at the top along side the function keys, so you can select and connect to the relevant computer quickly.

    My laptop is a gaming laptop, so I have tried the keyboard for some gaming too. It’s actually decent for gaming. It’s not going to beat a full on gaming keyboard, and I do tend to find myself pressing cap lock or shift keys by accident. But this is probably due to being used to higher profile keys.

    If you are looking to control multiple systems with one keyboard. Want some customisation options. And good build quality. Then it is worth the price. Best keyboard I’ve owned.

    Hands down this is one of the best keyboards I’ve ever used. It’s very easy to set up, simply follow instructions. It does come with a partial charge, but you will need to give it a full charge for a few hours before the battery is full. It might be worth doing before you set up.

    If you use a few computers/devices at once, then this keyboard will be easy for you to switch between devices, which will be a huge plus for some. The second huge plus is that you can use this if you are a PC or Mac user. Some of the keys will have 4 symbols with a line down the middle. The symbols on the left are for Mac users, the right for PC users.

    The F keys also have 2 functions. One is for the usual F functions, the other is for the keyboard. Simply press the ‘fn’ button then the F key and it will do various things. For example, fn & F6 will turn off the backlight, fn & F7 will turn the backlight back on.

    If you like the backlight, then you will get about 10 days of battery, if you are happy without then you will supposedly get about 5 months (although I’ve not had the keyboard long enough to test this out).

    Ergonomics: This keyboard is very well built, and much more solid (and heavier) than most wireless keyboards. The keys have almost a cup in them to support your finger tips. As a touch typer, I appreciate this. It’s very comfortable to type on for long periods of time. The keys aren’t cramped together so you won’t get uncomfortable. However, it doesn’t have any adjustable feet. It does feel quite low down and it does have a slight slant downwards, but the lack of any adjustable feet may be a deal breaker for some. The keyboard isn’t silent when you type, but it’s not the loudest I’ve had either. I quite like the sound this one makes.

    For a wireless keyboard, the connection is brilliant. There is no lag or missing of key strokes, unlike every single other wireless keyboard that I have used.

    The reason I’ve knocked a star off is 2 fold: 1 is that it is expensive for a keyboard (although brilliant, the price point will put people off) and 2 is that when you select to turn off the backlighting, whenever you switch your keyboard off and back on again, it defaults to the backlight being on. Not a huge deal, but it is a little annoying.

    Overall though, a brilliant bit of kit, worth investing in. Highly recommend.

    Moving from Mac to PC, I was looking for a high quality keyboard with really low profile keys.

    There’s a few around, but many get bad reviews, and others just seem poorly designed (such as the Microsoft Surface keyboard).
    Some even have those compact arrow keys, where the up and down keys are only half size. I can understand why they do this on laptops, but who really wants this on a full size keyboard?

    Pros:

    – This Logitech one is nearly the exact same dimensions as a full size Mac keyboard, which is great.
    – Very low profile keys, not quite as shallow as mac keyboard, but very close. Maybe 1mm more travel distance.
    – I did worry the concave bevels on the keys would annoy me, but you can barely notice them. The photos do make them seem a lot more pronounced than they actually are.
    – Connectivity is excellent, either via the dongle or even with bluetooth. Ability to switch is a cool feature
    too.
    – Battery life is great too. I use mine every day, for hours at a time, and have only charged it once since I bought it 3 weeks ago.
    – Full size arrow keys!
    – Great build quality. Nicely weighty, and the metal body looks and feels great with no sharp edges.

    Cons:
    – You can buy a model of this keyboard with Mac keys cut out of them, or one with combined Mac/PC keys. There is no version with just PC keys which is really annoying, especially as some keys look very messy displaying both layouts (such as the # key, which has 4 different symbols printed on it (2 for PC and 2 for Mac)).
    – The backlight turns off very quickly, and is not configurable. Obviously this is to maximise battery life, but it would be nice if it was configurable.
    – Not a huge fan of the strangely wide ESC key. I’ll get used to it I’m sure, but would have preferred a normal ESC key so the Function keys line up with number keys below them
    – Non standard key caps mean if you lose or damage one, you will find it difficult to replace. Not too bothered about this myself, but something to bear in mind given how costly it is.

    This keyboard feels lovely – quiet action, good tactile feel and a reassuring weight. The illumination is refined and classy and just about perfect. It has nothing of the ‘gaming’ feel about it – just elegant precision. I hesitated before spending this much on a keyboard because I wasn’t sure it was going to be THAT much better than a standard one but, for me, it definitely is.

    I have been using it for about 9 months now (professional CAD, software coding and general use for about 10 hours a day, most days )and I am still extremely happy with it.

    I like the fact that it works with the MX Anywhere 3 mouse with the ‘flow’ – when you move the mouse from a monitor on one computer to a monitor on a different computer, the mouse and keyboard automatically switch over. What’s more, anything you copied into clipboard one the first computer is still in the paste buffer on the second (e.g. copy a browser link, a screenshot or text form an editor using any normal copy command, and it’s there for pasting when you move the mouse to the second computer. No more emailing things to myself or waiting for Dropbox to sync). This is a very significant advantage to me.

    Battery life seems reasonable – I was unsure whether I wanted a rechargeable keyboard as wireless ones I had lasted about a year or more with one or two AA batteries but it isn’t a problem. I plug in the supplied USB C cable every 3-4 weeks for an hour, and don’t really have to think about it. Having a cable on your keyboard very occasionally isn’t a problem to me at all.

    The only very slight negatives are:
    1) the ‘flow’ can be slightly sluggish and take a second or three when moving from one computer to another. That might be more a mouse thing than a keyboard thing but it’s hard to tell.
    2) The keyboard layout seems to be dual format for Windows/MacOS. I knew this when I bought it but in an ideal world I would have only the layout for the OS I am using. I use both Windows and Mac so it’s easier for me to confuse myself and press ” instead of @ or ~ instead of ~ .

    I don’ t know whether it would be such a useful experience without a ‘flow’ enabled mouse but it would still be a lovely keyboard to use and I would purchase this for use on its own. It pairs with up to 3 computers so, even without ‘flow’, you press the key associated with each computer (see photo) to swap. In this case the swapping from one to another seems flawless and instant.

    The user experience is so good, that despite the very minor points, that I still feel it deserves five stars.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a quality produc

    Anyone claiming this is a poor quality keyboard and not worth the money is very much writing a work of fiction. This Logitech MX keys takes the place of my 3rd K350 which had become too worn; the build quality and weight of the MX keys is instantly notable given its one piece metal build frame, no doubt packing a hefty battery – after 2 months of daily use, 8+ hours per day with the backlighting turned off, my battery warning light has finally come on!

    The fact that the battery isn’t removal is a minimal negative but with no need for AA batteries you really do get a lot of life out of a single charge so it seems. For the first few hours of use i didn’t like it at all… but then something clicked and my writing speed and accuracy increased well beyond what was achievable with the K350. That said there are times when I’m not completely compos mentis or when typing words with characters in the top left of the keyboard when typing discrepancies tend to occur where normally on the K350 I wouldn’t have had any issues. This may well be due to the K350 having a slightly curved, ergonomic layout compared to the MX keys’ very ridge straight key alignment by comparison.

    A few reasons why you shouldn’t buy this keyboard – firstly you’re a gamer… put simply this is no good for gaming, partly because of the key sizes but mostly due to amount of travel. You basically need a mechanical keyboard if gaming is your poison.

    Secondly you shouldn’t buy this keyboard if you like to customise the gradient of keyboard angle. There is no way to raise or lower the angle of the keyboard, whilst although I bought the version with a palm rest, i didn’t actually find it useful and have ended up using it to place some of my USB cards or smaller, regularly used, desk knickknacks; a bit of a waste of 20 or so.

    Finally I’ve found the customisation of the function buttons rather… frustrating… it would be good to be able to have a wider variety of function allocations. For example F5 i’d like to keep as “refresh” whilst maintain the added functionality of the other buttons on that row. Seemingly “refresh” isn’t an option that can be allocated however this is more a limitation of the software rather than a reflection of the quality of the hardware itself. Edit: the newer Logi Options+ beta software does seem to provide a greater variety and flexibility of key function customisation.

    It would also be good to not have to always use the required dongle – I can’t seem to find a way to simply use my built in bluetooth rather than having the dongle connected… this also seemingly limits the ability to use the 3 different device buttons (of course unless you have a further 2 Logitech dongles handy).

    All in all, a few gripes but a solid keyboard and a jump up from my previous K350 – the true test will be how long the non-replaceable battery actually last over the long term (given the built in battery cannot be replaced) and how long until the key labelling starts to rub off!

    Compatibility between Windows and OS: 9/10

    I’ve always been a fan of using an additional keyboard, especially with using a laptop for approx 15+ hours a day. Having previously owned a windows pc, I used the MS Sculpt for 2 years, and love the keyboard because it just worked so well, but it was Windows-Windows. After purchasing a MacBook, i got to quickly realise that the compatibility aspect of the MS Sculpt with the MacBook was not catered for at all, the keyboard lagged and was not responsive to the Mac.

    My work laptop however, is a Windows PC, and the MX Keys (because of the dual compatibility) works flawlessly with it, due to the flow feature designed for the MX keys.

    Bonus? You can customise the top row of the keyboard using the Logi Options software and change it to whatever you want. I’ve kept most of them in place since that’s what I’m most comfortable with.

    Ergonomics and comfortability: 9/10

    I did a lot of research on a range of ergonomic keyboards – before I came across the MX Keys and the Logitech k860. Since the Logitech K860 is the same shape as the MS Sculpt, I thought that that I would be really happy with it and return the MX Keys, but boy was I wrong! Even though the MX Keys is ‘flat’ and doesn’t have the split features like the Sculpt or the k860, the dips in the keyboard keys make it incredibly easy to manoeuvre your fingers and type on the next key because as there is no snagging of the keys. The dips in the keyboard makes it as easy for me to type on it as the MS Sculpt.

    Every ergonomic keyboard is different, so of course it’s going to take some time to adjust. it’s taken me about a couple of weeks to adjust properly to the MX Keys, but i absolutely love it. It doesn’t even take a second for it to respond to the Mac, which for me is one of the best features.

    Backlit features and Battery life:

    This keyboard is backlit – one of the things that is absolutely necessary for me – having owned the MS Sculpt for 2 years, I really did want to not have to settle for a keyboard that wasn’t backlit. Ergonomic keyboards are expensive, 70+, and the majority of them (if any of them) don’t have backlit keys. The only problem with backlit keys is that it does drain the battery – the MX Keys is supposed to last around 10 days with backlit keys, and around 5 months without. For me, with the backlit keys on, I got around 14 days worth out of it using the keyboard for 15h+ a day. I do wish the battery life was a little longer, but it’s not a dealbreaker for me.

    Appearance/Sleekness/Arm Rest:

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way this keyboard looks against the MacBook. It’s elegant, sturdy and doesn’t give way to normal wear and tear.

    My only regret is purchasing the arm rest thing that comes with the MX Keys – it wasn’t for me – it’s too flat, and is uncomfortable as it’s a rubber material and not cushiony. I have a large mouse mat that takes up most of the space on my desk, and this works well for my comfort.

    Gaming:

    Since I use a Mac, I haven’t really used any gaming software since Windows is much better for it, so I can’t really comment.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Going from MS Sculpt to MX Keys - Not bad at all!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersKeyboards are very personal. My son uses a mechanical keyboard with incredibly ‘clacky’ keys and loves it, but I completely hate the long travel and the noise! This keyboard is the complete opposite; it feels like a high quality laptop keyboard.

    The keyboard is full size with a numeric keypad and all the usual keys in all the usual places. This was particularly important to me as I use things like the function, tab and number keys all the time. The only exception being a slightly oversized escape key which pushes the F keys slightly to the right, but thats not an issue. It uses a function shift to activate the special functions of the F keys which is fairly normal, especially if you’ve come from a laptop. About the only time I have to use these is to change the backlight. The calculator and print screen keys are separate and nicely positioned.

    The keyboard is heavy! Surprisingly so. Something like 800g. You can buy carry cases for it but i’m not sure I’d want to put this in my backpack very often! On the plus side, its solid and does not move in use. I was worried about it not having an adjustable tilt but they’ve got the angle nailed, so you don’t have to worry.

    The typing action is light and short. The keys are very stable with very little wobble, including the space bar. They are quiet and, certainly for me, the actuation pressure and travel is perfect, being a little more than a laptop but still a nice fast response. I’m using this keyboard for business work as well as gaming and its working equally well for both.

    I have it connected to a PC using the included Logitech unifying receiver and notice no wake up/sleep lag or typing latency of any type. I was already using a Logitech M510 mouse, so the software saw the keyboard instantly using that same receiver. I’m also switching that one receiver between a laptop and PC using a USB switch and its completely fine jumping between those too.

    My only very small gripe is that whilst the backlight is very good (even at its lowest setting), it does seem to forget about the backlight from time to time and I have to hit Fnc+F7 to turn it back on again. It’s a small thing.

    I’m using the keyboard all day long and quite a lot of evenings and the battery is easily lasting 2 weeks. I tend to plug it in whenever it occurs to me, so i’ve not done a real test of that. You can still use the keyboard when its plugged in.

    It’s a good quality keyboard that feels like it should last a long time, making it worth the fairly high investment.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersI bought this keyboard to connect three computers (iMac OS 10.11 El Capitan; a Windows 10 laptop and a MacBook Air OS 10.15.7 Catalina). Initially i could only connect one device at a time using the unifying receiver. The iMac and Windows laptop were not compatible with ‘Bluetooth Low Energy’ required to connect to the keyboard without the unifying receiver. So connecting all three at the same time impossible.

    EVENTUALLY FIGURED OUT A SECOND UNIFYING RECEIVER WAS NEEDED.
    I dropped a star dropped for minimal instructions. It was a struggle and required lots of patience (and I work in IT). No mention of ‘Bluetooth Low Energy’. A single diagram on how to connect. I ended up spending three days trying to figure it out. Many YouTube instruction videos watched, trawled comments, forums for help; I ended up puchasing a MX ANYWHERE 2S MOUSEE which comes with its own receiver. So two receivers (for iMac and Windows 10 laptop) and connected via bluetooth to MacBook Air.

    Second issue, was the version of Logitech Options to configure Flow. Ended up with different versions on each computer, but they all now do connect to each other.

    Setting up the connections seems a but random, switch on/off devices, click connect, wait for a minute or two before a response/connection is seen. Patience needed but eventually the devices/computers find each other.

    FLOW WORKS GREAT!! So much so that I do not need to use the buttons underneath the mouse to switch between the three computers. THE KEYBOARD ALSO FOLLOWS THE MOUSE so no need to use the keyboard quickswitch keys either EXCEPT for the iMac which does (not yet) have the keyboard linked and following the mouse. I need to still use the keyboard keys to switch the keyboard to the iMac. I hold out hope, more reboots, updated versions of Logitech Options (or another utility). Note: the iMac is old purchased 2008 and cannot be upgraded any further than OS 10.11 El Capitan, but still works as well as the day it was purchased.

    The physical keyboard is solid and feels well made. The low profile is good. The spacing between keys and slightly smaller layout is taking some getting used to, feels slightly crowded and i have small hands, but expect to get used to it from my old larger Dell keyboard. I have not yet fully tested the mac/windows keys or customised any, but no doubt will. Lots more to learn. Logitech Options gives loads of customised configuration.

    Very happy with no more cables!!! One keyboard, one mouse actoss all three computers Mac and Windows.

    As a developer, I spend several hours a day at the keyboard, and I need a good keyboard, this fits the bill. Depending on which keyboard you have, there is a slight learning curve for your fingers, and the concave keys feel a little odd at first, not bad, just odd, the shiny surface just adds to that oddness.

    The combined PC/Apple keys can be a little confusing when looking for the windows key.

    The backlight is nice when it is on but doesn’t remain on whilst you are typing which can be frustrating.

    The key strokes though are lovely, they are not heavy, nor arre they too light. the keys are also nicely attached and don’t rattle around at all. The result is the key strokes are short and positive which really feels good to type on and I found my speed increased based on other keyboards such as my DiNovo edge which was still a great keyboard but this is in a different league. I have used other MS and Logitech keyboards, that had much more travel and were inconsistent in how much pressure you need to place on a key, sometimes sticking. This suffers none of that. Every stroke is the same as the preceeding one.

    Battery life for me tends to be much more than a week, i find it is down to 50% after a couple of weeks. The unit is heavy for its size and you probably will not want to carry it around with a laptop but at a desk it has plenty of weight to keep it firmly planted where you put it. There is no real flex or give in it when you are typing and it does feel like this thing could last for years.

    The connection is reliable and fast to initialise whether with Bluetooth or the unified receiver. If you do change device one, to a bluetooth connection as I did, in order to get the inified receiver connecting again you need to add a device in the Logitech Options software.

    If you spend your life at the keyboard, this is worth the investment and is so much nicer to use that one half the price.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis is the best keyboard I ever own. I got two computers that I need to switch between and with mx keyboard and mouse it is much easier to do. You can add up to 3 devices and switch between using dedicated keys.
    This keyboard works best with Logitech MX3 mouse and create a really good productivity tool. It comes with great software that allows you to setup function keys differently for different apps.
    Keys are working great. I found out that I manage to write on average 10 words per minute more than on my previous keyboard. I am also making less mistakes. Key travel is great. Keyboard is nicely finished and plastic used for keys has a nice feel to it.
    Battery life is great, even with backlight I need to charge it after few weeks of use.
    From experience I know that Logitech has a great support, so that is additional advantage.

    I found only two problems with this keyboard.
    1. It works more stable with dongle compared to Bluetooth. When using Bluetooth I had a problem with connection on both of my computers (ThinkPad and Dell ). When using attached dongle, problem is gone. Not sure if its problem with my computers or with Bluetooth, but sometimes keyboard would lose connection or repeat letter multiple times.
    2. There is some kind of a bug with that keyboard when using volume keys. Sometimes when you press volume key once it will move it to 100% or when lowering volume with keyboard it would go to 0%. When it happen it will ignore the other key when you try to adjust it back and just keep going up or down. The only way was to switch it off and on again which is annoying. I stopped using keyboard to change volume. This problem is known problem and many people had it with MX Keys.

    Overall, if you don’t mind of using attached dongle, that keyboard will work well. It is great product for people who need to type a lot and looking for flexibility. You can connect multiple devices and switch between quickly, also give a lot of options to setup function keys to your need for each program. It works well both on Windows and Mac OS.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect keyboard for productivity

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersHaving succumbed to the fact that my MacBook’s keyboard was not going to miraculously improve (ahem, butterfly switches), I decided to bite the bullet and invest in a quality alternative. Trying to operate a small business with a keyboard that becomes ‘flat’ when tiny crumbs creep into is is, well, hard to say the least.

    Logitech have done a tremendous job with this product. From the moment you un-package it, it’s clear that a lot of thought and attention has been paid to how the keyboard feels overall; and yes, it literally does feel it’s worth. This is easily the weightiest keyboard I’ve owned, and it does provide a sense of reassurance in the longevity of the product. It’s a dense aluminium frame with a hard-plastic battery/antenna across the top, nice rubber feet and velvety-feel keys.

    They even wrap the keyboard in tissue paper! Doesn’t make you a better typist, but I mean come on!

    Set-up requires no instructions; just flick the On/Off switch, connect to it on your device’s Bluetooth menu and you’re done. You then connect to other devices simply by pressing one of the other three connection buttons, which instantly ‘switch’ to said product during normal use.

    The backlight does bleed a little more than I’d like, but to be honest you don’t need it super bright. It also has an auto-dimming feature for when you’re not typing, which is useful and clever.

    Function buttons are well placed and exactly where you’d expect them – more reliable than the Touch Bar. The addition of a Calculator button that opens the said app is borderline genius.

    But what about the main feature, the typing experience itself? On the whole, impressive. In its class I doubt there are many (if any) better alternatives for a slim profile keyboard, so I believe this is a safe consideration. Is it as good as the pre-butterfly MacBook keyboards? Difficult to say, but what I would also say is that MX Keys does feel more modern.

    Yes, the velvet finish does make for pleasant transition between pressing each key, as crazy as it sounds. The way the keys bottom-out softly is very nice and reduces the pressure on your fingers, while the actual force required for input is balanced more on the heavier end. While it can take some getting used to, I’ve found that it does actually provide reassuring feedback, compared to lighter keys that may feel more gentle, but end up making more mistakes on.

    The concave recession in the keys also takes a little getting use to, but again, provides a more stable and reassuring experience.

    Speaking of typing errors, I’m making considerably less with the MX Keys. I knew I was bad with MacBook’s scissor keys, but it was only once I compared the two side-by-side that I realised how much more fluently I could type on the MX. It’s just a real joy to fly through work without having to constantly backtrack! Apart from stupid spelling errors…

    So, is MX Keys worth your cash? Yes. It is on the verge of being eye-waveringly expensive (though I held out for a good sale), but do consider that Apple’s own Magic Keyboard – whilst very good in its own right – costs upwards of 30% ‘more’ than MX, and is not nearly as advanced or even well built.

    Keep your eye on the price and go for it.
