Lovely little keyboard
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.

Great aslong as you dont use bluetooth
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.

This will change your work life!
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.

Absolutely lovely to type o
I 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.

Quality feel and robust but does it try to do too many things
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.

Best keyboard I’ve owned.
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.

Best mac-style keyboard for PC you will find
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.

An Amazing Keyboard, But a Few Gripes Especially Given the Premium Price
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!

Finally, a decent keyboard!
As a programmer who lists technology as a hobby/curse, I’ve been known to type a few lines. For a good few years now, I’ve been trying to find a suitable keyboard for a reasonable price. I didn’t think my list of requirements was excessive as it comprised of R/F wireless and backlit. I believe my mistake was “reasonable price”

After trying a number of offerings from companies such as Jellycomb (which are good, I don’t deny), I decided to bite the bullet and shell out for one of these to go with my excellent MX Anywhere mouse. I should have got one of these in the first place. It’s solid it weighs as much as a medium-sized bungalow. The case is so sturdy with its construction from a neutron star. If anyone ever breaks in, I’m clouting them with this

Typing has become enjoyable again! Just the right amount of travel, good consistency and nice tactile feedback. The solidity lends confidence to keypresses and helps eliminate “bounce” (sometimes my fingers don’t hit with the right pressure and cause two keystrokes as a sort of bounce). It’s quiet, but not so silent it starts to feel mushy. There’s a nice resistance to keypresses

The backlight is so handy and pretty clever. Other keyboards I’ve found (all one of them) require a keypress to illuminate whereas this just needs me to reach my hands towards it. Neat! It does result in random illuminations when I place it next to me and grab a drink, but I’d say that was a bit of a niche issue

I’ve seen such complaints as “too heavy” and read this as “too quality” and also a complaint that the charging cable doesn’t act as the data cable. The *charging* cable. On a *wireless* keyboard. I suppose in that vein, I could complain the USB-C isn’t Thunderbolt compatible. What if I want ray-traced backlighting?

I think some of the hotkeys might suffer the worryingly prevalent “repeat strike” which causes them to fire 8-12 times per keypress, but I’ve only experienced that with the Task View key so far. If it goes all K380 on me, I’ll update this response

I don’t game, but from what I know, I’d never give a low-profile keyboard a high gaming score. This is a productivity keyboard, rather than a gaming one. Though if you don’t prefer a mechanical for gaming, give this a try! The tank-like build should handle a losing streak pretty well. Just don’t slam it into a wall unless you want to lose the wall

Key layout is fine and if the multi-OS key-printing confuses a little, just remember the Windows characters are on the right side of the key and the Mac version on the left

Update: I’ve had this for a little while now and by this point, the K380 had started exhibiting weird key repetition behaviour. This is a known thing for Logi keyboards, apparently. I got worried when, while using AnyDesk, I started getting multiple versions of keys sent through at random. However, I’m 99.9% certain that the repetition there was the product of the connection/software rather than the keyboard. Connected directly, I’ve had no issues at all. Such a relief as I love this keyboard (enough to spend 21 on a hard case)! The Flow software is, as ever, really useful. I’ve switched off Caps Lock, Num Lock, Scroll Lock and Insert (bloody annoying keys) and set up my own versions of the hotkeys. A neat little feature is gestures: Hold the fn key and move the mouse to perform an action

I have to use Ubuntu 18.04 in work and was a bit disappointed to discover that Logi doesn’t provide *nix software. But I was determined to get this working. Bluetooth may have worked, but my work machine has no adapter. There was no recognition when I connected it. Bugger. But it wasn’t beating me, so after a bit of looking around, I found Solaar. It’s not perfect and it can’t alter keyboard or mouse settings, but it at least gets them working and even takes a guess at the battery level! I say ‘guess’ because the two display locations change frequently and never agree with each other

Anyway, more than happy now to recommend the absolute s&*t out of this keyboard. And the MX Anywhere 2S mouse

This genuinely is a premium product, a superb office/general purpose keyboard.
Well, I took the plunge and paid the hefty price for this keyboard and I have to say, from the moment I took it out of the box I knew that I was not going to be disappointed.

It has a super-premium look and feel – even the heft of it when you lift it up says ‘expensive’. It is beautifully compact and slimline and yes, it has that aforementioned solid feel that says there is some quality engineering going on. The fascia has a brushed aluminium look but seems to be plastic when touched, this doesn’t really detract from the impression of a luxury finish though.

The keys are flat and square-ish, softened at the corners with rounded indentations to help you type and a decent spacing between keys. It’s just a personal opinion but I really like this form factor for keys, I seem to make far fewer false keypresses where I also hit an adjacent key when I type something. A nice touch is that the keys at the four corners of the board are extra rounded on their corners to match. The keys also have, for me, just the right amount of travel and very slight tactile feel with a bit of resistance. Definitely the best non-mechanical feel I have yet experienced. Nicer even than my trusty K800 which now feels ‘mushy’ in comparison. This kind of feel is fantastic for office and general purpose use but probably isn’t ideal for many kinds of serious gaming, especially things like FPSes where you may want to also get a mechanical board.

Key legends are very clear and easy to read. As a bonus for me, there are also Mac markings so if you are using it with a PC and Macbook as I am, you get the full functionality on both machines. I also paired it with my S10e and it worked great with Samsung Dex desktop. You get marking for media control and extra OS functionality on the function keys.

The backlighting is well implemented – adjustable from subtle to quite bright and like my previous K800 keyboard there are proximity sensors that light it up whenever you move your hands near. Very useful as being wireless, it’s not practical to keep backlighting on all the time.

Surprisingly, there is no way to adjust the tilt – There is a fixed tilt courtesy of the ‘step’ that spans the width of the keyboard along the top at the back. I get the impression that Logitech designed the keyboard to be used at this specific angle and optimised everything around that. It certainly works for me but I guess some might want more adjustability?

Connection is via Logitech’s nifty ‘Universal’ USB nano-receiver and/or bluetooth. Bluetooth is great for secondary and tertiary devices but the Universal receiver is a very good solution for the main connection and comes paired out of the box. It provides a fast and stable connection and supports many other Logitech input devices. You can switch between the three supported connections with dedicated buttons on the keyboard and if you are using Logitech’s ‘flow’ software, when you press the appropriate selection on the keyboard then you can have your pointing device switch too (if it’s a Logitech device that supports it, older stuff won’t).

You don’t have to use it, as the dongle makes the keyboard act like a standard USB device to the host computer, but Logitech’s new ‘Options’ software handles configuration. This is flashier than their old Setpoint software but to me didn’t seem quite as functional, perhaps that was down to familiarity or maybe because it is pretty new and will develop over time. It covers the basics though.

Charging is via USB-C which is good to see – this is definitely the way forward for connectivity. Note that the USB-C is for charging only, connection to computer is still via dongle or bluetooth. That’s a shame as a fully wired option would have been nice and allowed always-on backlighting but in practice probably won’t be much of an issue.

I can honestly say that this just might be worth the price. Yes, it’s super expensive for a non-gaming, non-mechanical keyboard but it for me at least, is pretty much the pinnacle of a general purpose keyboard. Looks and typing feel is off the scale (or maybe they just happened to nail my own personal preference for keyboard feel – these things can be pretty subjective). If you want to use it with multiple machines and across platforms, it offers even more functionality to justify the steep price. But anyone interested in a really good keyboard should at least try this out.
