Logitech - MX Mechanical Mini Compact Wireless Mechanical Tactile Switch Keyboard for Windows/macOS with Backlit Keys - Graphite

I've been using the Apple Magic Keyboard for about 3 years so I want to focus my review on how the MX Mechanical Mini compares to it. Overall, I prefer the MX Mechanical Mini as it's a better experience but there are a few things that I miss from the Apple Magic Keyboard. ***LAYOUT*** It took a couple of days to get used to the layout so don't feel discouraged at first. I was concerned it might affect my productivity but eventually, I got more comfortable with it and now it's a non-issue. If you look at my screenshot, you can see the differences between the two keyboards. Most notably, the keys on the Logitech are slightly narrower and the keys in the bottom right arranged differently. There were a few instances where I was hitting the wrong keys while typing but again, my mind got used to the layout after a few days. Some of the exclusive keys on the Logitech have been useful (screenshot, mic mute, home/end/pg up/pg dn) although the emoji key has been useless to me (I've remapped it to Mission Control). I do miss the forward/rewind and the brightness keys on the Magic Mouse but it's not a dealbreaker for me. Logitech's keyboard is backlit while Apple doesn't have one. I normally work in a well lit environment so this isn't a significant improvement for me but it could be very useful for your needs. I've also never been a big fan of the way the arrow keys are placed on the Apple Keyboard so the Logitech gets the win here. ***SIZE*** The Apple Magic Keyboard is not only a bit smaller but weighs less as well so it wins out here. I don't think it's that big of an issue unless you travel with your mouse/keyboard and your laptop bag is already filled to capacity. ***CONNECTIVITY*** MX Mechanical Mini easily wins here. I have a work laptop and a personal laptop so switching back and forth between the two with just the press of a button is so much better than having to turn constantly disconnect/reconnect the Apple Keyboard. ***TYPING EXPERIENCE*** Mechanical keyboards are generally superior for typing and the MX Mechanical Mini is no exception. I can't believe what I've been missing all these years! The MX Mechanical Mini has a pair of tilt legs (unlike Apple's) which puts it at a higher angle and feels better ergonomically. The feel of pressing the keys with the combination of the sound it makes also gives it a more premium feel and experience. Have I noticed an improvement in my typing speed? Not really but the better experience is noticeable though. The only thing that I prefer the Apple Magic Keyboard here is how it's quieter. Despite the MX Mechanical Mini being "Tactile Quiet", it still makes a bit of noise. This isn't a problem for me about 90% of the time but there are instances where I need to be more gentle with my typing in order to reduce the amount of noise it makes. ***PRICE*** MX Mechanical Mini is $50 more than the Apple Magic Keyboard and more expensive than other Mechanical Keyboards so this isn't an easy decision for most. I would say the MX Mechanical Mini is worth it if you: - Use multiple devices and want to switch easier - You spend hours doing heavy typing and a comfortable experience is a priority - Can take advantage of the extra key shortcuts and don't mind the lack of certain Mac specific keys like brightness and Mission Control.

Such a good keyboard. I actually found some low profile keycaps and replaced them from the normal gray scale caps and it brings a new life to it (see bottom most keyboard in the picture). I felt the regular caps were just dull and dark which could be your vibe. Other than that the software works with their options software which works nicely with my Mx master mouse so it just works. I also like how it’s not rgb so it’s not a distraction as I use it for work and sometimes take it in to the office. I got the brown switches which work for me. Price is a little on the pricy side I will say and there may be better options out there but I have no regrets with this purchase.

I've been thoroughly impressed with my Logitech Pro X 60 mini so far. Initially, I was concerned about the price and the reports of loose sound keys from YouTube reviewers. To be honest, I shared those concerns. I was worried about the cost, wondering if it was worth the investment considering my budget constraints. As a video editor, I couldn't afford a Davinci Resolve controller or even a dedicated editing keyboard. I decided to opt for a gaming keyboard, hoping to find a good balance between customization and value. Since I wanted the flexibility to work anywhere, I prioritized wireless connectivity for its portability and versatility. Most importantly, I wanted to customize my keyboard with macros and hotkeys to streamline my editing and research workflow, ultimately saving me time. I appreciate the flexibility to create a profile for any app I want. Once set up, the Pro X 60 Mini seamlessly switches to the corresponding profile based on the open application. I really like this feature, as I also use color-coding to organize my profiles. To fully utilize the Pro X 60, you need to stay connected to Ghub, but it does offer three customizable profile slots stored directly on the keyboard, which can be accessed even when you're not connected to Ghub. I really like GHUB. ICUE is good too. Alongside the GHUB, I also value the G-Button's versatility. It enables me to tailor my setup with micros, actions, hotkeys, or any other desired feature, without sacrificing my function key shortcuts. I can reconfigure the entire layer as needed, without encountering any problems. Although I cannot create an entire layer of additional micros using the G-Button, I can assign any key to it. Moreover, I can create custom profiles for any application on my computer, and the Pro X 60 will automatically recognize and apply the relevant profile when an app is in focus. The typing experience is more about the tactile sensation than the noise level. It's not overwhelmingly loud, but it's not silent either. I enjoy the sensation of pressing the keys and the subtle give of the keys as I type, which is a pleasant surprise. The slight looseness of the keys doesn't hinder my typing at all. I'm thoroughly impressed with this device's design and construction. The volume control on the left side of the base is a thoughtful touch. What really stands out is how effortlessly it switches between my MacBook Pro and iPad - it's incredibly efficient. I've connected it to my iPad via Bluetooth and my MacBook Pro M1 via USB-C, and the process has been seamless. The connections and switching process are smooth and hassle-free. Before buying from Best Buy, I had the opportunity to test the Corsair 65 Plus Wireless, which boosted my confidence in making the right decision. I also tried out the Logitech G515 TKL wireless, the Logitech Mx Mechanical Mini Wireless, the Corsair K65 Pro mini Wired, and the Logitech Pro X TKL Wireless. Among them, my top choice is the K65 Pro mini Wired, which shares the same design as the Pro x 60. Since I couldn't find a wireless version of the K65 Pro mini, I decided to spend a bit more money, going against some YouTube reviewers' advice. Now, I'm a satisfied customer. I'm currently considering the Corsair K70 Core TKL Wireless, but I'm having trouble parting with my Pro X 60. Here is the rewritten text in first person: I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed with my Logitech Pro X 60 mini wireless gaming keyboard, despite initial reservations about the price and reports of loose sounding keys. As a video editor, I was seeking a balance between customization and value, and prioritized wireless connectivity for its portability and versatility.

I've connected the keyboard to both my MacBook Pro and iPad without issue, and I'm satisfied with my purchase. I had previously tested other keyboards, including the Corsair 65 Plus Wireless, Logitech G515 TKL wireless, Logitech Mx Mechanical Mini Wireless, the Corsair K65 Pro mini Wired, and the Logitech Pro X TKL Wireless, but ultimately chose the Pro X 60 mini.
