About this deal

When you’re in the flow state, the last thing you need is discomfort getting between you and the work. If you can live without the Numpad on a keyboard there are some serious benefits to getting this downsized model as, despite its smaller size, a few useful features have been included that would have made remote working during the Covid-19 pandemic a little easier. MX Keys Mini for Mac fits right into your Mac and iPad workflows – with a layout for Mac so you never miss a beat. You’ll get more functionality, a superior key design, and a robust build quality in a design that blends perfectly into your Apple ecosystem. Turn your thoughts into reality faster and stay in the flow with the efficiency, stability, and precision of MX Keys S and MX Keys Mini.

Nevertheless, I find the inconsistency in volume control and function keys (F11, F12 etc) to be slightly annoying. The process to mute (fn + F11) and decrease volume (fn + F12) requires the fn key, but increasing the volume does not. Furthermore, if you press fn while adjusting the volume up, it won’t respond. Despite numerous complaints regarding this inconsistency over the past year or two, Logitech hasn’t shown any intent to resolve it, so I won’t hold my breath. But here are a couple of potential workarounds to this issue: You can disable “standard function keys” in the Logitech Options software. This allows you to control the volume using the F11, F12, and Ins keys without holding down the fn key. However, if you want to use the standard function keys (F1, F2, etc), you’d have to press the fn key first. Your keyboard can be paired with up to three different computers using the Easy-Switch button to change the channel.The build quality is also especially solid despite being lightweight and Logitech have taken extra care to ensure the product is eco-friendly, with the Graphite model using 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, and both the Rose and Pale Gray models using up to 12% due to the lighter color.

First, let’s talk about a few issues regarding the device pairing process and compatibility of the Logitech MX Keys Mini. You can use the mouse cursor to move from one computer to the next. MX Keys Mini keyboard will follow the mouse and switch computers at the same time. You can even copy and paste between computers. You will need to install Logitech Options software on both computers and then follow these instructions. Install Logitech Options software to get the most out of your keyboard. You can find more information here.If you are a macOS or iOS user, your characters and special keys will be on the left side of the key: The MX Keys Mini is incompatible with Logitech’s universal Unifying Receiver, instead supporting only the Bolt Receiver and Bluetooth. That means if you previous own a Logitech keyboard or mouse that uses the Unifying receiver, you’ll need to invest in a new Bolt Receiver. The silver lining here is that the same Bolt Receiver can be shared with a compatible Logitech mouse, allowing for a neat setup. In the box, it comes with the keyboard, a USB cable (a charging cable, it’s not a data cable), and some leaflets.

The Logitech MX Keys Mini is a compact wireless keyboard that comes in a sleek and slim profile, making it a perfect fit for small desks or workspaces. Its size is slightly larger than the Keyboard on a 14-inch Macbook Laptop, the buttons are more spread out with more spaces in between providing a comfortable typing experience. My only gripe so far is that Logitech Options has occasionally failed to detect the keyboard when connected via Bluetooth – it’s a strange reverse situation to what happened with the MX Keys. I’m sure this will be fixed with a software update soon enough. Bottom line Work on a minimalist keyboard that places every key, command, and shortcut at your fingertips, without cluttering your space with extra keys you don't need. Easily pair MX Keys Mini via Bluetooth Low Energy with up to three devices and switch between them at the push of a button. No dongle required. To charge, plug in the USB-C cable at the top right corner of your keyboard. You can continue typing while it is charging.The MX Keys Mini’s most impressive feature, in my opinion, is its ability to connect with up to three devices simultaneously through Bluetooth or the Bolt receiver. This capability makes transitioning between devices as easy as pressing a button (F1, F2, or F3), a process that takes just a couple of seconds. This convenience is invaluable if you manage multiple computers and prefer to use a single keyboard and mouse. A key difference making this feel more premium is the switches, which are quiet and springy with a scissor style compression that gives each key a more tactile response. MX Keys S and MX Keys Mini are compatible with all major operating systems right out of the box and the dual key layout has been optimized for both Mac and Windows ® users– works with Windows, macOS, Linux ® Device basic functions will be supported without software for other systems than Windows and macOS, ChromeOS ™ Device basic functions will be supported without software for other systems than Windows and macOS , iPadOS Device basic functions will be supported without software for other systems than Windows and macOS, iOS Device basic functions will be supported without software for other systems than Windows and macOS, and Android ™ Device basic functions will be supported without software for other systems than Windows and macOS operating systems.
