Logitech MX Keys Mini for Mac Minimalist Wireless Keyboard Compact Bluetooth Backlit Keys USB-C Tactile Typing Compatible with

This is a substantial, weighted keyboard with solid key action and great battery life. It interfaces with my Apple iMac perfectly and is a vast improvement over the original Apple keyboard in quality, substance, and performance. Read more

Unlike the keyboards Apple sells, and other Apple-style keyboards I've used, this one has well-designed keys and a smooth clicky action that enables accurate fast typing with no weird glitches, repetitions, or irregularities. The software it comes with lets you adjust a number of settings (my one complaint is the backlighting made it hard to see the characters on the keys, basically making them white on white, but I've adjusted it more to my liking). I also like that it speaks directly to my Mac system so I can monitor the power level in the bluetooth dropdown, unlike the Macally keyboard I'm replacing where I was always taken by surprise when it suddenly died. It's not super-lightweight so if you like to carry your keyboard around or type in your lap this may be heavier than you like -- but I like the solidity of it: it never slides around on my desk unless I deliberately move it somewhere. It can connect to 3 different devices, easy switching between them. There are certainly cheaper Mac keyboards out there, but probably not better ones. Read more

I have the compact and full-size keyboards (MX Keys S for Mac and MX Keys Mini for Mac). I'm writing this review on the full-size keyboard. I really like both. I like the full-size because it has a few extra controls that the mini does not, for example you can adjust your mac screen brightness and forward/reverse audio track. Both keyboards have backlights that turn off after some amount of time of inactivity and turn back on when you move your hands over the keyboard (to save battery presumably). USB-C charging. Long battery life. Sleek aesthetic that matches my space grey macbook air and macbook pro. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT INSTALL LOGITECH OPTIONS SOFTWARE. It is maybe the WORST bloatware I have ever encountered. I learned that maybe 2 or 3 Logitech keyboards ago. As long as you don't install it you should have basically no problems. The Logitech keyboards I have from years and years ago still work, but I either gave them away or replaced them with these never versions with the backlit keys. One complaint I have is that on my new (less than 1 month old) full-size keyboard I have noticed that the backspace key makes a pretty annoying squeaky sound during certain presses. I'm going to search online and see if other people have reported this and if there's a fix or send it back in to Amazon for a replacement. I read some 1 star reviews and there were people (amateurs) complaining about the Options software or an inability to adjust keyboard backlight brightness. They said they couldn't get the software to make it work. There are buttons on the keyboard (both full-size and compact) for adjusting the backlight brightness of the keys, so I'm not sure what their problem was, but it was not the keyboard's fault. Summary: Great keyboard. Get the full size if you have the space and extra $20-30 or whatever. Watch out for squeaky keys - there are some people online who have taken their problem keys off and applied some lubricant which is probably what I'll do because sending it back means it'll likely just end up in a warehouse or the garbage and would be wasteful. Better than the Apple Magic Keyboard and less expensive. Read more

Don't get me wrong, I still love Apple's Magic Keyboard, it is simply the best and smoothest writing experience I ever had. The pressure point of its keys, the precision, the design, the spacing of the keys, everything is perfect. But I needed a new keyboard because I am working on two computers, and while the Apple connects seamlessly two two machines, it does so through your main computer that needs to be connected to the second one you are using. And for legal reasons, I am not allowed to connect the two computers, because they are for two separate work spaces and assignments. So I needed a keyboard connects itself to two computers and lets you switch manually between them. In the past I might have tried about 15 different keyboards and none of them came even close to the Magic Keyboard experience. Well, the MX does. The keys are perfect, they have a sightly deeper pressure point than the Apple keyboard, but that is ok. The keys feel firm, they respond smoothly to a stroke, and the design is almost the same as the Magic Keyboard The one single minus I would set is that the keys for switching (you are able to switch between three different computers) are where on an Apple keyboard you find the keys to control the brightness, and I haven't yet found out how to get them from switching machines to setting the brightness. On the upside again, there is Logi Options, an easy to install software that lets you basically assign anything to any of the Fn keys in a matter of seconds. And if you have a Logitech Mouse, the software lets you set it up, too. The MX is heavier than the Magic Keyboard but given that I do not carry it around much, that is not an issue. The battery takes about 3 hrs to charge fully and I have been using it now for two weeks, 8 hrs/day, which brought the charge only down to 90%. That is absolutely comparable to the Apple keyboard. So, if for some reason like versatility, or to be able to switch manually between machines you are looking for a substitute to your Apple keyboard, the MX is the one. Read more
