This was a genuinely eye-opening video on every detail of difference between the two, and I love the MX Keys S. Also liked the preview of the logi options software. Excellent comparison!

Good video. More helpful than the last handful of mx keys review videos I watched this morning. And the youtuber antics and music also made it easier to watch. Thanks for putting that together.

This was great in helping me decide between the MX Keys vs. MX Keys S. I'm glad I watched your video first. Preciate you, sir

3:40 Thank you for that dude, It's almost what other people fail to show or don't include in their keyboard videos. Exatly that, how it sounds!!!

The sound made it clear to me. Great thing you included a quick typing sound difference. Still the black one for me.

I have Just bought the older one, even for me there are not big differences, I think that you don't need speak detection or emoji in your office. Practically for me the older one is the same with the following.

So, how about backlit issues on keys s? Original one didn't remember light settings, which you needed to apply on every system boot. Also, you couldn't turn the light on permanently and move/proximity sensor wasn't very good. Have they fixed any of this crap in new version?

Good review, forgot to say new S uses Bolt receiver which is not compatible with the Unifying one.

Quality is amazing, deserves better popularity

I returned the old MX Keys because of that shitty lighting which was off real quick and no setting in the software. Need to buy the new one. Thanks for showing that so detailled!!!

Does the selected keyboard button LED stay on?

Bought a Mac Studio for Christmas and replacing my existing Logitech keyboard. The MX Keys standard does seem the better choice. Thanks for the video.

Yeah I've also noticed that the button presses on the new MX Keys S are not quite as low profile as the older MX Keys. I'm sure I'll get used to it because there isn't a huge difference but it's definitely noticeable when comparing the 2 keyboards. Having said that - I find that my typing accuracy is slightly improved on the MX Keys S vs the older MX Keys.

are the F-keys only available pressing the "FN" keys? If yes, it would be a real pain to use it for development like debugging because you need the F-keys all the time. Edit: I just found out that you can permanently enable the F-keys via a key combination 🤩

how about the battery endurance?

Great video mate. Answered all questions I had and more. Cheers

Thank you for a plausible and unbiased review!

Nice overview, thanks! My MX Keys must be even older as the F-keys differ from your black keyboard!

I totally agree with your review : I defintively prefer the typping on (old) MX Keys vs (new) MX Keys S. I can't understand what they have done with this change... After a comparison side by side, I finally reselled my new MX Keys S with no regrets. It's a petty because I did the mouse upgrade from MX Master 3 to 3S (which is so much better), so I''m know having 2 USB recepters : Bolt (for MX Master 3S) + Unifying (for MX Keys). I questionned myself about that but I'm happy with this choice, the typping experience is much more important to having 2 USB receivers instead of one.

Great video, helped me to choose MX Keys S keyboard/mouse combo

Hi there Jacob, After watching your video, I have finally decided to purchase the OG MX Keys Keyboard. I agree with what you say, the truth is that the differences are few and I think that the OG MX Keys model is more suited to my preferences and habits, since I use an old keyboard with really high keys. Thank you very much for the comparison, it has been very useful to me. 👍 A greeting from Spain.

Hi. If you use the unify dongle. Will the paid PCs unify at first. Will be nice to switch between PCs on both the mouse and keyboard at the same time

I just got the newer one in Black and a how to set up video might be nice. I looked for both but at Best Buy they only had the one MX Keys S

I recently bought the MX Keys S keyboard/mouse combo. I've had a lot of crappy membrane keyboards over the years, a few really good ones and a Das Keyboard mechanical, but I really love this one. Feels like it's built like a tank, good keyboard travel (if you like mechanical keyboards you won't mind this at all) and decent backlighting. At 200 bucks it's pricey, but worth it in my opinion. It's the first one I've ever owned, so I don't have an MX Keys for comparison.

Which keyboard types quieter?

Very well done video with clear comparison of pros and cons

I prefer the MX Keys. It is the best one for me. The typing sounds, their design. In short, I like it. Previously, I bought the Keychron K4 V2 Red Switch and found this Keychron keyboard louder than the MX Keys.

The only thing keeping me from buying this keyboard is the sound. Both of them sound horrendous, but if I had to choose which one sounds better, I would say the black one.

wow this is exactly what i was looking for. also goign to ccheckout the mechanical comparison~!

Good video. Thanks

Nice video! Already have my keys, looks like no upgrades required this time.

thanks 4 your time man !

IDK bro, I think I'll order the MX keys bundle from Costco comes with a sick mouse

Great job, you helped me make my choice!!!

Which mouse models can be unified by the USB bolt?

Newer one for me.

are you typing the same words sir?

The only real upgrade is the backlight setting, and it's software 😂 And they refuse to implement it in the old models although customer are asking for it since the release of the first MX keys. Ridiculous

Very nice video, but please do something with the mic!

MX keys simple is better 1000%

Best keyboard for programmers

You don’t need to use the wireless dongle

They made it silver to match with Apple silver products, probably the Mac Studio tbh

Great review tks

watching this I thought I needed glasses.. but it was just everything out of focus 90% of the time.

You can view the battery life % on the older MX Keys using the Logi Bolt software.
