I have been using both Logitech G915 for its mechanical goodness and MX Keys for its perfect layout. And the new MX Keys Mechanical seems to be the perfect mix between the two. Would it be worth its price tag? What does it feel like? How about the mini version? Watch this video to find out!

I have tested this one (MX mechanical mini) a bit. The KeyChron K3 was compelling as its logical competitor but the newer version of the K3 no longer has illuminated keycaps which is a no-go for me. The mini has a great battery. Or more accurately, all the competition has almost universally terrible batteries. Great overview.

I started out with the MX Mechanical and after working with it for a few weeks - I found I was having trouble with the keypad area. I'm not used to having keys above the / * and - keys and I kept hitting them. It was just too disruptive in my work. I saw the G915 and gave that a try and love it. So I moved to the G915 as my daily work keyboard. I also like how the G915 is just a little more spread out and in a format that is more familiar to me. The MX Mechanical is more compact and everything is bunched up together. I prefer the spacing they give between the alpha keys, the directional, and the number keys on the G915 and there is no such spacing on the MX Mechanical. Thanks for the video. Nicely done!

Thats an awesome Review.... I am using Keychron K8 and after six months I have started to miss out on the Num pad now. Was thinking about getting something else. MX Mechanicals Full looks like a great choice. I dont game and prefer to use the shortcuts from the mouse or use keyboard direct cmds or shortcuts. I like the way the RED Mechanical sounds but I also love the feedback on the BROWNS. I guess I will try out in a shop and make the final decision. Thanks for covering up the Num pads also. They seem enticing but a Full Keyboard is better unless someone travels frequently then I will probably buy a Mini Keyboard and a separate Num Pad.

Hello, According to some comments, the keyboard tends to cut the brightness to preserve its battery! That is to say, if you don't use it for a few seconds, it cuts the brightness, which is very annoying for someone who does office work! Is there a way to manage this? or to cancel it via the G HUB software? is there a way to set it up? so that the light doesn't get cut?
@JosephKim
@JosephKim Жыл бұрын
In fact, you don't control anything on the G Hub. For MX series, you use Options+. I don't think you can disable the dimming. But as long as you are using it, it won't dim.

AFAIK only the high end G (gaming) models have internal memory for customization while the MX models require a background app to assing different macros and shortcuts to the F keys. That's unfortunate because I work on multiple machines often, some of them run Linux and sometimes I need a keyboard for my Android phone. Having internal memory means the functionality stays the same even if Logi Options isn't available. Logitech should consider adding internal profiles to their MX line.

Im in the market between the MX mechanical mini and the G915 TKL. I like how the TKL is less crammed, and the option of having the backlight on at all times. But i've also heard the G915 keys are wobbly compared to the MX. I cant imagine it being that wobbly that it makes the G915 feel cheap, correct? Currently that is the only thing stopping me from purchasing the G915 TKL. I also think the the G915 TKL looks like it would feel premium with the aluminum compared to the MX mini.

I've always used the garbage membrane keyboards since forever. I graduated with a computer science degree in 2000 and keyboards were all shit or super expensive back then so I just go used to living with membrane keyboards. I recently upgraded my PC and it came with an LED keyboard which I never had before so I tired it out (it was still a membrane though). The Keypad included with the system was also an ISO configuration and I always used ANSI so I immediately had an issue with the layout and this particular keyboard was worse than any I've ever used before (for various other reasons) so I decided, for the first time ever, to get a keyboard that didn't come with my system. I didn't realize how useful LEDs are as I always thought they were a gimmick but having "f" and "g" as well as other keys commonly used highlighted seems simple but is a game changer and even the shit LED's on the cheap keyboard were very helpful in ways I didn't realize. To conclude my blog: I just got a Corsair K70 MAX and I'll probably never buy another keyboard. I've never had an issue gaming on a full sized keyboard... the people I see game with 60% look like console gamers that refuse to accept that the control "stick" doesn't have to be right next to the movement keys.

#PleaseReply: Hey Joseph, accidentally landed on your video while searching keyboard mouse combo. Video was very informative , nicely compare stuff . Post watching your video I've now decided to go with MX Keys Mechanical one instead of normal Mx Keys. It is like that if I don't install that Logi+ software (customizable) then i cant use these products ? Bcz my office laptop won't allow me install any software. Pls confirm this most important bcz then its of no use if software is dependency for product connectivity. Just confused in brown or red switch (which one would be best , also share my space with my family). Please suggest. I used keyboard for at least 9 hrs on each day. Also want know that would be its a good idea to buy this with MX Master 3 mouse. Please let me know about about that cleaning part and sticky ness from previous comment and reply (i click and scroll a lot in a day). Thanks , Subscribed. Will be waiting for your reply.

Thanks for your kind words. They keyboard works fine as keyboard without logi options, but you can't customize function keys and some functions may not work. Brown is tactile, red is linear. There is a lot to research on that if you don't know what you prefer. Mechanical keyboard is a rabbit hole. I personally prefer tactile although linear can be more silent, but difficult for someone who's getting mechanical keyboard the first time. (a lot comes down to personal pref) if you are in very quiet area, you might need to stay away from mechanical. As to the mouse, MX Master 3 connects via Unifying which I mentioned that doesn't work with logi bolt. So, get the newest mouse, MX Master 3S which should work fine. The clicks are supposed to be more silent. (I will make a video about this in near future) as to sticky surface, it is due to its rubber-like surface. I sweat on my hands and it makes rubber surface sticky. May not be a big concern for you if you are more dry ;). MX Master series are loved by many enthusiasts including me. So, it may be pricy, but is something worth the investment if you spend lots of time with it.

@@JosephKim Thanks a lot Joseph for taking time for such detailed reply. Appreciated. As it's bit costlier as per Indian market I think I'd like to opt for MX Keys which you have shown in this video. Seems the good combo with MX Master 3. So looking for that. But still I will definitely miss that clicky keys sound and tild back support of mechanical keyboard in MX keys. Thanks again for instant reply(literally noone do) and such a best comparison video. Helps a lot to decide which product to buy. Would love to watch more videos like this on your channel. Please consider Indian market also if possible.

@@JosephKim Fair, I had that thought myself after posting, and not going to lie, what you describe happens to me fairly frequently on my G910 Keyboard. I like the look of the 915 thought and considering getting it. What worries me a bit is reports of the keys being fairly fragile (the two legs keying them in) and being slightly wobbly.

The characters on the number line illuminate! That was such an annoyance on the 915 for me when I was typing in the dark. Mine is coming in tomorrow. My 915 also had serious key slop, which I hope they alleviated on this new keyboard. I have high hopes that they've got this dialed in by now.

Thanks for the review! Tell me, please, is there keycap backlash on the Logitech MX Mechanical, like on the Logitech G915? I have a Logitech G915 TKL keyboard - it suits me completely, but what upsets me the most is how the keycaps are attached to the keyboard - they hang out and do not sit tightly. I recorded a video with the Logitech G915 TKL and other keyboards, and there you can see a significant swing of the keys when typing - this is a very unpleasant effect. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9iFastevZ2VZnU.html

@JosephKim 2 жыл бұрын
I guess a lot of it has to do with personal preference. I am not 100% sure what 'keycap backlash' is, but it does feel springy and there is quite a lot of keycap wobbling on G915. However, there is almost no keycap wobbling or shaking on MX Keys Mechanical. (I just shook it, and doesn't make sound) It does require more force to press the keys though. I hope that answers your question.

I'm missing MX Keys test at the end of the video. So 915 is the rich one with Corsair like features e.g. volume knob, but it's aging, and has annoying G keys which will fight with the muscle memory. This keyboard is using a generic dongle. MX Keys is super quiet, but it can't press multiple keys as simple as W+A+G+Shift. Zero anti ghosting effort. It has shrinked top row, and no indentation. Forcing out of Fn keys happens by default. There are some ridiculous labels despite Apple model exists. This keyboard is using an Unify dongle. MX Mechanical is as noisy as 915 (pretty good for mechanical), has no multimedia features (for real), and has no indentation under the top row, and has these annoying labels, if not forcing out of Fn functions that are more important. Also ridiculous labels. This keyboard is using, ta da, yet another unique type of USB: Bolt. I'm tired seeing all these changes. Foremost, the keyboard layout keeps changing nonstop by this company and I can't stand it. It's been going on for a lot of years. And then, as a owner of Master 3 mouse, i can't add this Mechanical keyboard. What a joke. Will Logitech publish new dongles on monthly basis? What crazy key layout will come next?

Palm rests. Folks, let me tell you, if you use a keyboard a lot, or your whole life like me, eventually carpal tunnel will catch up with you. You need a palm rest. Probably one taller than the one here. In the end, if your hand lifts up to type at all, that will eventually become a problem. Cheers.
