About this deal

MX Keys S and MX Keys Mini are crafted with a low-profile design and an optimum keyboard angle that encourages better wrist posture and reduces strain on the joints. The MX Keys Mini is incompatible with Logitech’s universal Unifying Receiver, instead supporting only the Bolt Receiver and Bluetooth. That means if you previous own a Logitech keyboard or mouse that uses the Unifying receiver, you’ll need to invest in a new Bolt Receiver. The silver lining here is that the same Bolt Receiver can be shared with a compatible Logitech mouse, allowing for a neat setup.

The keyboard is also entirely wireless, Bluetooth specifically as Logitech has stated it believed in the capabilities of Bluetooth over wireless dongles (though the MX Keys Mini is compatible with the Logi Bolt USB Reciever), so you can't use the device with a connected USB-C. Or you should consider installing Microsoft PowerToys (available on Github). It’s a software that allows button rebinding—you can swap the Ins and volume up keys

To charge, plug in the USB-C cable at the top right corner of your keyboard. You can continue typing while it is charging. Introducing Emoji, Dictation The Dictation feature is provided by Windows and macOS and is currently available only in select languages and geographies. Learn more at logitech.com/support/OSdictation., And Mic Mute / Unmute Keys

Open the Bluetooth settings on your computer to complete the pairing. You can read more details here.A USB-C to USB-C charging cable tops up the power on your MX Keys for Mac – and connects directly to your Mac without the need of a clunky dongle. When using the Bolt Receiver, it’s necessary to install Logitech’s software (Logi Bolt) for keyboard pairing. However, MacBook users can bypass this step due to the Bluetooth connectivity option. For my MacBook, the pairing was seamless and required no additional software. Battery Life Nevertheless, I find the inconsistency in volume control and function keys (F11, F12 etc) to be slightly annoying. The process to mute (fn + F11) and decrease volume (fn + F12) requires the fn key, but increasing the volume does not. Furthermore, if you press fn while adjusting the volume up, it won’t respond. Despite numerous complaints regarding this inconsistency over the past year or two, Logitech hasn’t shown any intent to resolve it, so I won’t hold my breath. But here are a couple of potential workarounds to this issue: There are three keys located on the function row of note: a system mute, an emoji key and a dictation key. The mute button does exactly what you think it would – instantly mutes your microphone without you needing to hunt for the right option on your conferencing software. As this is a system mute, it works across everything from Microsoft Teams to Discord so you can avoid any embarrassing interruptions. In the box, it comes with the keyboard, a USB cable (a charging cable, it’s not a data cable), and some leaflets.

But when it comes to being a keyboard for raw productivity, the MX Keys Mini is incredibly comfortable to type on. Each key is sized just right and the travel distance is just right so as to keep your fingers engaged while minimizing discomfort. The build quality is also especially solid despite being lightweight and Logitech have taken extra care to ensure the product is eco-friendly, with the Graphite model using 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, and both the Rose and Pale Gray models using up to 12% due to the lighter color. In my own testing I hit this promised time, which makes for a worry-free battery that when it comes down to working your standard eight-hour shifts, means you will only be charging this once in a blue moon. Logitech MX Keys Mini performance The MX Keys Mini’s most impressive feature, in my opinion, is its ability to connect with up to three devices simultaneously through Bluetooth or the Bolt receiver. This capability makes transitioning between devices as easy as pressing a button (F1, F2, or F3), a process that takes just a couple of seconds. This convenience is invaluable if you manage multiple computers and prefer to use a single keyboard and mouse.The pads located on the bottom of the keyboard are rubberized despite blending perfectly with the shade of keyboard you selected, so you can use it across just about any surface and not have to worry about it slipping during aggressive typing, and you're also very unlikely to scratch anything either. Work on a minimalist keyboard that places every key, command, and shortcut at your fingertips, without cluttering your space with extra keys you don't need. Easily pair MX Keys Mini via Bluetooth Low Energy with up to three devices and switch between them at the push of a button. No dongle required.

MX Keys follows your MX Master 3 for Mac from one Mac to another, meaning you can type on multiple devices in one fluid workflow. First, let’s talk about a few issues regarding the device pairing process and compatibility of the Logitech MX Keys Mini. If you are a Windows, Linux, or Android user, your special characters will be on the right side of the key: The LED on the Easy-Switch button should rapidly blink. If not, perform a long press for three seconds.

Turn your thoughts into reality faster and stay in the flow with the efficiency, stability, and precision of MX Keys S and MX Keys Mini. Pair up to 6 Logi Bolt products with 1 Logi Bolt receiver Requires Logi Options+ app available on Windows and macOS at logitech.com/optionsplus Logi Bolt USB receiver: Windows ®, macOS, Linux ® Device basic functions will be supported without software for systems other than Windows and macOS., Chrome OS™ Device basic functions will be supported without software for systems other than Windows and macOS.
