LogitechMX Keys Mini Minimalist Wireless Illuminated Keyboard, Compact, Bluetooth, Backlit, USB-C, Compatible with Apple macOS, iOS, Windows, Linux, Android, Metal Build - Graphite

I bought the pale gray MX Keys Mini keyboard to replace my Logitech K380 keyboard, not because the K380 is no longer working but because I like the keyboard feel, keyboard keys, and overall ergonomics of the MX Keys Mini over the K380. The K380 is one of the best, if not the best, compact, multi-device Bluetooth keyboard in its price range currently available on the market. I simply like the MX Keys Mini more and will move the K380 to a different workstation setup.Pairing the MX Keys Mini with my Windows 11 Pro PC and my M2 MacBook Air was a breeze. It paired just like all of the other Logitech keyboards I own, very quickly and reliably. Switching between devices is a single button press on the MX Keys Mini keyboard. It would be kind of nice if my MX Master 3 mouse could be slaved to the MX Keys Mini device selection, but both devices do switch over to the other device very quickly and with a single button press on each MX device. Since my two devices/computers are sharing the same monitor, switching the input source on the monitor takes a lot more time than does switching the two Logitech MX devices.The Logi Options+ application recognized my MX Keys Mini immediately. All of the controls, settings, and user interface workflow for the MX Keys Mini in the application were very familiar since I have used Logi Options+ with many of my other PC and Mac Logitech devices.This is my first experience using a separate keyboard with backlighting. I am relieved that the backlighting is restricted to white hues only. I often use a monitor light bar that is mounted on the top of my monitor to illuminate my workstation area, including the keyboard and mouse. I discovered that my monitor light bar and the MX Keys Mini backlight functionality are ergonomically incompatible with one another, at least for my setup.When my monitor light bar is illuminated, even at the dimmest setting, the adaptive backlight functionality on the gray/silver MX Keys Mini adjusts the backlighting based on the ambient light to the where the white backlit characters on the white keys become nearly invisible to see. I was greatly relieved to discover that I could simply adjust the brightness level of the MX Keys Mini all the way down to the point where the key characters are black. This completely solved my problem when using the MX Keys Mini with my monitor light bar. I will definitely encounter situations in the future where I do not use my monitor light bar and can simply increase the brightness level on the MX Keys Mini to take advantage of the backlighting feature.I have not encountered any compatibility issues while using the MX Keys Mini with either my PC or my Mac. The MX Keys Mini seems to be conforming very nicely to the functional and quality standards that I've come to expect with all Logitech products I've owned, dating back to my first 3-button C7 mouse. So far I am very pleased with my purchase of the MX Keys Mini.

A couple years ago I wrote a scathing review about the decline of Logitech products quality. I was having problems with the mice, the buttons where acting up, and I needed a mouse (NOW) that worked so I went to the local brick & mortar store and bought the same mouse, which had the same problems. I ended up getting hundred dollar mouse made for CAD professionals. Since then I got a Logitech mechanical keyboard, with the cherry keys, great product and I love it. I've also purchased a couple Logitech mice lately and had no problems with them. This keyboard is much nicer than what I expected, I love the solid feel of it, it is very heavy for its size. I wanted this one for the ability to switch between three different computers. I have one Windows 10 machine and two Linux ones in a corner of my man cave. I've purchased two HDMI KVM switches recently, and both where DOA, not working at all right out of the box, and from different manufacturers. My monitor has three inputs, so all I really needed was a single keyboard and mouse for all three. The Logitech MX mouse is still on the way. The set up was a bit problematic. The Windows machine set up very easy, but after a restart the keyboard was no longer paired. I had to drag out my old one to log into Windows, not so handy since Windows re-starts itself constantly. Luckily, there was a firmware update for this keyboard that fixed the problem. You can get the update through the Logitech software that can be downloaded from their website. On one Linux machine I am currently running Linux Mint. Mint came with the blueman software preinstalled, I had to make several attempts to get the pairing to stick, partly because I've only used blueman a couple of times in the past to pair BT headphones to my old laptop. You must mark the keyboard as trusted to get a connection that lasts. I had a situation where it was connecting and disconnecting constantly until I did that. Works fine now, and it pairs itself after a restart. On the third computer I am running Debian 12, and I have not been able to get the keyboard paired at all. This computer is actually part of my stereo system. It is connected to my amps by way of a DAC, but I can control it from a phone or tablet, or from a web GUI on a different computer. It would be nice if this would work on Debian, but it's not the end of the world. I almost docked this product a star because the product info is not completely accurate. On the product page it says:"Compatibility: Compatible with Logi Bolt USB Receiver (not included) . Logi Bolt wireless products will not pair with other Logitech USB receivers". OK, you don't need the Bolt USB Receiver to use this, I ordered them because it says this. The keyboard works with any Bluetooth receiver, I'm using one made by TP Link and another Knvo. The Bolt receivers are not here yet, they will be along in a couple days with the new MX mouse, even though they where part of the same order as this keyboard. When the Bolt receivers get here I will probably use them, because I had to rob the BT dongles off of my other computers to get this working right away. The limited instructions that came with the keyboard just said to pair it with Bluetooth, it does not even mention the Bolt receiver.

I've been using the Logitech MX Keys S for a few weeks now and I’m genuinely impressed. The keys have a perfect tactile feel—quiet yet responsive—and the low-profile design is ergonomic for long typing sessions. The smart backlighting is a game-changer: it automatically turns on when my hands approach, even in low light.Setup was incredibly easy, and I love that I can seamlessly switch between my laptop, desktop, and tablet with just one button. The build quality is premium—it’s sleek, solid, and feels like a high-end piece of tech. Plus, the battery life is amazing; I’ve only charged it once so far.If you’re a writer, coder, or anyone who types a lot, this keyboard is 100% worth the investment. It’s the perfect balance of performance and style. Logitech nailed it again!

I can't say enough good things about this keyboard. The feel of the keys, the press length, the indentations for your finger tips, and the build are all premium quality. Regardless of connectivity type there is no lag when using. I have 4 of these for different PCs for work and home. All varying in size but all the same in quality. Definitely my favorite keyboard and worth every penny. Also, being able to connect one keyboard to three devices via the Bluetooth channels is clutch. So functionality, build, and feel 10/10 from me.

The MX Keys Mini is sleek, sturdy, and a joy to type on. The keys feel smooth, the backlighting is smart, and battery life is excellent. I love how easy it is to switch between devices, and the compact size saves desk space without feeling cramped. A solid choice if you want premium quality in a smaller keyboard.
