Same price, true $99. But, you get USB-C for charging, up to 3 devices, backlighting and you can program many of the function keys with the software which the Apple keyboard does not offer.

I use the MX keys right now. I wish I could break off the number pad on the right side D:.

Hi Oliur. If you didn’t know already, Satechi do a keyboard called the Slim X1 which has all of the features you’re looking for. It is space grey (they don’t do a silver one I don’t think), but it’s Mac layout, usb-c, backlit and well built out of aluminium entirely. Also connects to 3 bluetooth devices, looks just as smart as the apple magic keyboard if not better looking with the backlight, and it’s also cheaper I believe. I’ve got it and I love it, so do look into it- it’s literally the perfect office keyboard imo. Also a lil bonus tip for your monitor, use a program called ‘monitor control’ which lets you change the brightness of any monitor using the brightness function keys, with the correct animation pop-up as well. Very convenient for my Viewsonic. Hope that helps, love your channel mate. Peace!

I use the full size MX Keys and I absolutely love it. The one thing that I would change though, is having the keyboard light stay on at all times. Hate how it turns off after a few seconds :/. I actually prefer to have a number pad as well! But I can see how the mini version is definitely going to be more portable

I can already tell that the keyboard enthusiasts are going to be horrified with your typing form and speed

I've tried different Logitech keyboards.. specifically for the iPad and then connecting it to my monitor, and in my opinion nothing beats the clickiness of the apple keyboard. The only thing I wish apple made was a button to switch devices as I go back and forth pretty often from Mac to iPad

I got the mx keys mini yesterday and I definitely prefer the typing feel over the magic keyboard, personally. I find the function key choices a bit strange because I would much prefer media keys over emoji and dictation, since those are easily accessible with shortcuts on any keyboard. loving it so far!

This. Is. Amazing. I LOVE my MX Keys, but need a smaller one for working on-the-go. The Magic Keyboard was doing my head in coz the keys are too close together and I keep accidentally locking my screen when I hit "return". Had no idea they now do a mini version of my FAVOURITE keyboard. Thanks for this first thoughts of the keyboard, ordering it now. 😊

I’ve moved from the full size MX Keys to the MX Keys Mini and haven’t regretted it. I hardly ever used any of the additional keys anyway.

I love the backlight on my Mx Keys Mini

Frikin' thank you, a million thanks! One of the main things for me is key noise and key travel, you're one of the first that has compared them side to side, wonderful review! I'd say one of the reason that's so noisy is because it has an "empty" space below it. But I'll have to try.

I like how compact it is and was keen to get one but they lost me at “its the same price as the full sized sized MX Keys”… I’ll continue using my full sized MX keys then 🤷🏻‍♂️

I had this keyboard and returned it. Loved the typing feel, but since this is a "low power BT" device, it will not recognize the pre-boot keys, such as safe mode or recovery. I had to hook another keyboard to accomplish this. Otherwise, Logitech said to use the dongle, but it is optional and I was not going to pay for it. Heads Up

I have the white. I use it with my MX Ergo. With my setup of Harmon Kardon Studio 3 and my M2 Mac Mini Pro with my Samsung 75 inch wall mounted QLED as my monitor in my room. I love my setup very much. For my workstation and movie watching. By the way, as I don't always use my MX Keys Mini, even with the backlights fully turned on at it's max brightness, it can still last me for months though. It's an awesome keyboard and I really love it!!

recommend you look into Vissels LP85

Finally, they have a mini version! Hell yes 🔥

I can't wait to get my hands on this, i got my normal mxkeys ~3/4 months ago and it's so hard to travel with it, i still do it because the adobe support and the battery life that you have with it and the mxmaster is killer, a 60% mx keys is a dream come true

I know I might not be the usual user, but for me the screenshot, emoji, and mic mute buttons are so handy and useful both for my work and private use… I would really buy this keyboard just for that. The fact that it’s great in general just seals the deal.

At the moment, you can find the magic keyboard for $30-40 and mx mini for $60 on ebay. I have 2 magic keyboards and looking to switch over to mx mini with unifying adapter for easy work/personal computer swap.

I am looking for an alternative and I was very excited for the MX Keys Mini, but I don't like the feeling of the keys compared to the magic keyboard...

Use the MX keys for a good amount of time now, hands down the best keyboard I've ever used. Same for the MX master 3 for a mouse. Simply said, these devices are the devices that apple should have made for Mac. Looking into the mini version now for on-the-go use because the bigger version is heavy too. If only the mini and anywhere mouse where available in space gray for Mac.

amazing keyboard BUT - f1 to f3 switches source, a lot of times while pressing esc, you'll press f1 and if at that moment you're at source 2 - you will be switched to source 1. But if you make first row function as function keys (not emoji, source, etc), then - you have to use fn+volume down (f12), but to increse volume you do not have to press fn only volume up, drives me crazy, and fn is on the left side, so its not possible to lower the volume with one hand.

Yes I’m glad you made a video on this keyboard. I purchased one Monday and I should be receiving it next week, I’m so hyped!

As much as I would love backlit keys and find them really useful I could never justify the £65 premium for this board over the k380 which imo is one of/the best travel keyboards you can buy.

I was waiting for a review on this. Perfect timing!

Well any keyboard that doesn't have the standard layout or the 75% layout is a no go for me. I made the mistake of purchasing a K380 and it's a pain to get used to because just SO MANY keys i use for work is not available in it. No End, Home, Page up, Page down, context menu icon.. And F keys are secondary by default.. I mean why would they do that? I had to plug in my older full sized keyboard and record some macros for my mouse to use the end and home keys. Plus the there's ONLY 4 programable keys and ALL 4 OF THEM are in the top middle of the keyboard!! The K380 was released SO long ago and STILL they do the same shit with this one. And WHY do they have two different software? Logitech Options and GHub... It's a shame really. Specially since this is SUCH a well built piece of hardware. They really need to rethink the layout and prioritize functional keys.

i can see why people would chose mx mini over the magic keyboard. i am currently using both windows and mac, one for work and the other for personal usage, while both are connected to my monitor and located on the laptop stand. Placing the laptop on the laptop stand means the laptop needs an external keyboard, and because i use both mac and windows, the keyboard needs to easily switch from mac and windows. Precisely with this function, magic keyboard does a horrific job while the mx keys mini seamlessly switches between the two. For the reason why i want mx keys mini, all my other set ups, such as the magic touchpad has the aluminum and minimalistic design, a design that is similar to mx keys mini. Thus, functionality and design considered, mx keys mini is the winner for me

Clarity required: Is the top part (excluding the keys) metal or plastic? I have seen differing reviews that say the opposite of each other.

The compromises made on the function keys Vs the full size MX keys makes this less desirable for me. Love the MX Keys full size version though.

I wish there would be a possibility to attach the numbers when you really need them, (the dreaded tax returns, for example) and be able to use in the mini size for when you don’t want to give up crying with neck and arm pain at the end of long editing sessions.

Howdy there, I recently bought the MX Keys Mini about a week ago now and I love it! As you said I agree that maybe it should have been priced a little lower, to be more competitive, however, I personally think the angle at which the MX Keys Mini is better than the Magic Keyboard and enjoy having Mac specific keys that just seems more familiar. I was always deterred from the standard MX Keys due to the larger size due to the number pad. Having this keyboard is great when I want to type non-stop, I do also own a 84 key, mechanical keyboard I use in conjunction but having the slimmer keyboard and the keys to light up when in proximity to the MX keys and not continuously on is phenomenal, and you won’t realize how nice it is until you switch keyboards and are wishing you had it. Sorry for my long rant, keep up the great work I enjoy your vids! 😁👌

So how is the brightness controls? Can you map the MX keys to control the screen brightness on your external monitors? And how about the bluetooth connection to your Macs? Is it stable? Or you have to use dongle? Great review btw!

Does holding down function and clicking the left and right arrow act like home and end?

Wouldn't it be cool if logictech made a combo touch for the new IPad mini

Which KeyBoard Do You Recommended For MacBooks Would You Go For Apple Magic KeyBoard Or Logitech Keyboard Mini TKL

Wouldn't it be great if they made the craft mini?

I was waiting for a smaller keyboard from ages. Thank you LOGITECH 🙏🏼

How to configure the brightness keys🤔

Just got it today, and its a bit of a learning curve if you're used to a MacBook keyboard, but its very nice that it can switch between 3 devices at the push of a button. The only very annoying thing about it is that the Mac Version, you know...a product that is tailor made for the company that has Space Gray in all of its lineup, doesn't come in Space Gray, but Windows does. Seriously its so annoying because all of my Apple products are either space gray and this is the only thing that sticks out like a sore thumb.

Would of been great if the damn back out light timer was adjustable. The thing turns off and on so much its damn near seizure inducing.

I think it’s priced pretty well considering it can connect to 3 devices with the click of a button, it’s type c, and it’s back lit🤷🏾‍♂️

They need to make this in a space grey type of color

Question: is it possible to put it on top of a laptop(e.g. Macbook pro)? Does the rubber stand at the bottom stand on the frame(of laptop keyboard) instead of triggering any keys on the laptop?

como está a questão de sujeira? e o branco ficou amarelado?

Here for the amazing content Oliur this is fantastic as usual

MX mini feels different from the regular MX in a bad way. Also, the power button feels cheaper. One of the rubber foot came off in just 3 weeks. In my opinion, Logitech clearly spent less money to manufacture than a regular MX but charing the same street price.

does the new keyboard give the ability to go into MBAir sleep mode when working with an external monitor? (just like regular closing MacAIR?)

Hi! Thank you for the review! Do you know if the mac version can be connected to windows? I know it seems silly but I prioritize the mac layout since this is what I use more often but sometimes I might use with my windows work corporate computer. Thank you!

Does all the Extra Buttons work on the mac without installing the Logi Option Software??? THX for an answer!

I use the space grey MX Master 3 for Mac and it really sucks that they didn't make a color matching MX keys mini

Can i use this on my PC? I love this layout, but i worried about that mayby not work on not mac.

Macbook pro 14, 2021 model wont find the mx keys mini as a bluetooth device. What can I do?

Just had mine arrive today. The graphite grey version though. On the whole I like it but I’m struggling to believe this is an aluminium case, it really feels like plastic to me. I’ve had a magic keyboard and an aluminium mechanical (keychron k1) before and they both felt cold to touch. This just feels like plastic. Feel like it’s a little bit expensive if it isn’t actually metal.

Amazing video! But I've question about the delete. Oh magic keyboard to erase the archive, Command + delete. It's the same thing on MX mini for mac or needs press the fn key too ?

I like your style and experience. Thanks for sharing!

I don't like the function keys on the F-keys... they should keep the brightness control instead of dictation and emojis. also the screenshot key is not needed because of the shortcuts. I also miss the next/previous track keys

Seems nice but I use the Magic Keyboard with touch ID for my M1 Mac Mini. Love the convenience. I doubt we'll see any 3rd party boards with Touch ID though.

Thank you for another excellent video. Are you using the same LUT from your shop?

Apple MK or Logitech MX Keys Mini?

amazing quality video mate, what camera/lens are you using ?

Hi, Something strange is going on here... I wrote to Logi support asking about the frame material. He replied to me: "Thank you for your interest with our MX keys Mini for Mac. The Logitech MX Keys Mini for Mac feels very well-built. Its chassis and outer frame are made of a high-quality plastic that looks like metal." How is it in the end and who is right, because everyone writes and says something different?

wis h there was a dark space grey version

Yeah it looks nice, but why would they add that uselss bar at the top? or have it always rised? i like the design a lot but i rather use my keyboard flat to my desk.

Plz try out and review the Microsoft designer keyboard looks identical to the apple one

This looks great. I need something to go with my Chromebook and monitor. Do you know if this keyboard top row keys can be mapped the same as the chromebook keyboard top row keys?

I prefer low-profile keyboards like these even after using a couple of mech keyboards. But I think I prefer the Logitech keyboard in the same size (the one with the round keys). And there’s a dupe BOW keyboard that looks exactly the same but with rechargeable battery. I’m still not sold mainly because of the price.

I have the MX Keys, I'm having issues with the Numpad, I cannot get used to how bit it is and I've had it for about a year probably

I've read somewhere that the cable is purely for charging? I wanted and was excited to get this until i found you can't use it wired. Can anyone confirm that?

Love apple Magic Keyboard! Simple, minimal! Great!

I feel the same way about liking smaller keyboards (like the magic keyboard).

Does the MX Keys Mini have a forward delete key?

Can we use this keyboard on iPad Pro

Best keyboard for typing I've ever had ;)

It’s a nice keyboard, I ended up returning mine, it’s not very ergonomic a little too small for me and extremely heavy to carry around. If this is your main keyboard and your not moving it around a lot then it’s probs a buy for you. Looks really nice and great typing feel to it.

great review

Hey there! If you're looking to optimize your desk setup, I'd highly recommend considering the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It's a compact device that combines powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, perfect for keeping your desktop spotless. It's also versatile, portable, and boasts a range of great features. Definitely worth checking out!

The reason that I opened KZfaq at 3am is to watch a review of MX keys mini & this video is the first video that was shown on my home page. Well, i guess i need to buy it then.

But does it have Bluetooth connection issues with the M1 Mac Mini? So annoying

The Logitech one goes so much better with your desk matt!

Is it backlit

IT NEEDS A BUILT IN PRINTER SANDWICHED BETWEEN IT'S COMPONENTS THAT IS FRONT LOADABLE.

Has anyone here used the Magic Keyboard here? How does this stack up in terms of ergonomics? I hate how low profile it is.

Love this keyboard, however the mission control key is a deal breaker for me :(

Does this Mac version work on Android as well?

I prefer the full size

Why would they stop manufacturing k810 and for some reason keep producing worse variants is beyond me. K810 had all same feautures, better keycaps and it even had backlit keyboard which would turn on and off depending if you had your hands nearby, it would detect your hands capacitively, and it would cost same 80 euros. I dont know what do i have to do to persuade them to bring it back.

If the the regular Magic Keyboard was the only competitor, the MX Keys Mini would be the obvious choice. However, the Magic Keyboard with touch ID makes the choice really hard. I guess it boils down to multi device switching vs. touch ID button.

This v nuphy air75 would be interesting

vissles lp85 should blow everything out of the water. Basically Apple keyboard profile, but it is mechanical.

came for the keyboard, bought the desk mat :D

great video!!!

This is what i'm waiting for

Why wouldn't apple change their laptop's keyboards to the same travel distance as the one in Logitech MX Keys Mini? it will be so comfortable.

im gonna buy it!!!

Finally a version not for accountants lol

I love the new Apple Keyboard with touch ID

Maybe I'm too deep into mechanical keyboards but the price seems steep compared to other more customizable prebuilt options with both mac and windows wireless capability. There are switch options for custom mechanical keyboards with less key travel and various types of tactility. but I will admit that it does take significant effort to find out a personal preference. The thin visuals of this keyboard don't appeal to me as I have a battery powered wireless keyboard that runs on AAA batteries and it shares the same aesthetic. Seems a bit too minimal for me perhaps

Sound test: 7:21

MX Keys Mini has such an annoying sound 😬 I hoped it is quieter than Apple keyboard. K380 is still the best sounding external keyboard I've tried so far.

I do legitimately think the apple magic keyboard is one of the best keyboards of all time. I’ve owned the Logitech K780, and that thing was horrible. Gave it away. Circular concave keys 🤮
