Low Profile Done RIGHT! Logitech MX Keys Review

Wasn't sure what to expect from a keyboard review, but this was very helpful. Went with the keyboard, wrist-wrest and MX 3 mouse combo at Best Buy for $199. Thanks!

I liked the way you demonstrated the keyboard sounds. Especially hitting the same keys on each keyboard. This was something I've been frustrated with other reviews. I know I'm late to the party but my needs have changed and I've been researching what's available.

The problem is that it's done RIGHT. The arrow and number columns should be on the LEFT. Because, if they are on the right, the mouse needs to be on the far right, which makes it difficult to reach the mouse. I am so sick and tired of the mouse being pushed to the far right by the standard full keyboard layout, I thought of using the mouse with my left hand, even though I am right-handed. But the problem is that all mice are right-handed, and I could find a mouse with the free-scrolling wheel and the back/forward buttons not on the left side.

Does somebody has experienced finger pain when using this keyboard?

EVERYBODY HATES THIS KEYBOARD BECAUSE IT DOESN'T LET YOU PERMANENTLY LEAVE THE BACKLIT OPEN. THIS PROBLEM TALKED ALL OVER THE INTERNET YET THEY STILL NOT BRING THE FEATURE THAT WE WANT. THIS IS A BEHAVIOUR I'VE NEVER WAITED FROM LOGITECH. THIS KEYBOARD IS PURE EPILEPSY AND HATE.

I have misophonia so gaming or classic office keyboards drive me nuts!

So I was looking at the Logitech MX and even had it in my Amazon cart but thought I'll just check around and I was interested in the Cooler Master SK650. After searching up the MX one last time for a sound test I almost decided on the Cooler Master SK650 but then you did a comparison out of the blue, one next to another and sold me on the MX.,

Using the laptop keys, fingers get warm when gaming and I like to use an external monitor or a desktop with one. So tired of using cheap plastic generic keyboards that most consider e-waste. Even tested the MX at my local Bestbuy.

How does the typing experience compared to ThinkPad? As that is what I have. If it's very similar then it would be the perfect switch over from that when I'm in the office space

U can buy a palm rest for $5... why would u spend 20 on the Logitech one

This thing is very costly, after three years it's stil at it's full price. Logotech should look at it's price, more sales means more money.

I wanted to like this keyboard a lot. Unfortunately, I experienced annoying lags. Every 10 minutes or so it got stuck and then repeated the last pressed key mullllltiiiiipleeee tiiiimeees. It got especially annoying when the repeated key turned out to be backspace because it deleted lots of text. I tried everything imaginable - Bolt and Bluetooth connection, disabling my router's 2.4GHz, disabling all Bluetooth devices nearby. Did not help. Even my old Logitech MK260 wireless did not have such issues. Really sad, considering the price of MX Keys.

I want this keyboard aaaaaa why is Logitech so expensive?

They just pulled an Apple. These manufacturers dont make enough MILLIONS they NEED more. More, more, more. That's called GREED.

The keyboard miss spaces between F keys and that sucks.

The tactile feel is SO important and most people have no idea. On the computer for 12 hours a day for 20 years. Got to have tactile feel.

Very good video. Cant say that for most videos on reviews.

I'm on the market for a new keyboard and been looking at this one. I have already a Unifying ecosystem at home (several pcs and several Android devices) and it works flawlessly. With a usb dongle on an android device, you can even use the Unifying receiver and it just works (pair the devices beforehand on the pc to that particular receiver then you're good to go). I hate clicky noisy keyboards and mice, so I'm almost 100% gonna get this one. Thanks for this video.

I appreciated the sound test a lot. Wondering if I can get a quieter one

Can this fit in a back pack

Love the backlght feature! I've always preferred to work in dim lighting and other cool keyboards I've had before this one didn't provide me with that choice. I highly appreciate that, as well as the dedicated key for screenshots.

I'm using this keyboard for the last 3 years. I love it but what I really want is the shorter version of it where the numpad is gone but the layout remains same. I've tried the new mini version but I didn't like the layout.

wtf is going on with your subtitles 🤨

btw i got a gaming keyboard fromlogitech , its an old one the g105. it got tons ofmacro buttons and i never use them no matter what game i play. lol i do use the buttons on my g602 wireless mouse though, but alongside of this keyboard i also ordered razor naga v2 hyperspeed, for 109 euros u got a wireless mouse with an incredible amount of buttons, 19!!!! NINETEEN buttons. lol im never gonna use them all but even the MMB has great functions for example: press a button behind the MMB and you can freely scroll as in: the MMB wont stop scrolling once you take your finger off, it will keep scrolling. push said button again to undo this feature. AND the MMB can be pushed to the left and right and those can be assigned aswell. all of this for 109 euros? thats a pretty good deal.

i always use the * on numpad to record videos with nvidia. well used to. i dont use that crap anymore.

I’ve been looking through a lot of keyboards that will work with my mac, my work windows laptop, and my gaming pc including all the major brands like keychron, other Logitech products, cooler master, Razer, etc - I think this is gonna be it. Never knew I’d like this weird keyboard, but here I am.

Is that quiet?

If it only had a simple, reachable volume control.

thanks lebron

It's the problem of life a guy pretending a keyboard can cost 100$ and it's fine and fair.

I just bought it and it feels great. I feel like I can type faster than the $200 mechanical gaming keyboards.

This video was uploaded 3 years ago, and still undoubtedly one of the best reviews on MX keys 👍

What if one system is on a local network and the other too, but on VPN. Would it work?

Mx junk backlight won’t stay on…

MX LOGITECH Junk useless backlighting won’t stay on.

Don’t but it, backlight goes off no way to keep it on Useless

Love

Mine just arrived tonight and I'm typing on it as we speak. It feels incredible. I got it off Amazon for $119.99, so a little bit on the pricier side. My MX mouse is my ride or die though. That thing is incredible, so I finally got the combo. Let's see how it works.

I just bought based on reviews. All good. All glowing… and the lights…ooh ..l until you actually use it. The lighting only appears when you get close, therein lies the problem; you have to wait for the keyboard to light up before you see the keys before you can type.
The delay before lighting gets worse if you just previously stopped typing.
It’s terrible. I can only hope for a patch update that offers an always on option

Listen. Dont buy 100 dólares keybord. This is expensive. Even 10 dollar keyboard will satisfy ALL your needs.

My first time around here.

What a voice!

It's a pity they don't make a wired version of this. Wireless can be intercepted, and the batterys end up in landfills.

Thanks for the video. Its a nice product but bad side of this procut is having mac symbols at keys like alt ctrl etc. There is alsoa mac version , why these symbols. EVERYONE ( I BELIEVE) using windows on the earth hates mac users and mac computers. That has effect on purchase decision. For me instead of buying this disgusting product, I would pay double and buy, corsair k100 air.

No bro. Not everyone needs wrist rest. Also shame on you using mouse without mouse mat

Has anyone else experienced the space bar key not being as responsive or kinda stiff? I feel like I give it the same tap as would another key and just don’t get the same response I expect to receive making me feel it didn’t take my space. Thanks for any additional input…just got mine this week.

I love this keyboard too. It's heavy and has rubber feet so it doesn't move around, the tilt is nice, and I fell like it's just made for my hands. I kind of forget it's there and just type. I never hit the wrong key by mistake. The battery is built-in and charges via usb-c cable which is included. It easily lasts a month or more between charges. I used it for 8 hours a day and never have a problem. Best desktop keyboard I've ever used.

Thank you for the review! I just bought the keyboard and mouse and I'm starting to love them. I haven't figured out how I can block the number pad to the right, do you know how to do it? I've tried the fn button, cmd, ctrl, etc. and nothing seems to work

''pretty difficult to NOT miss'' - so, easy to miss? -__-

Thanks. Buying it now

do you think it’s still worth to buy this today? or should i go with another unit?

Ooltra!
