    Perfect keyboard but need very few enhancement of keys. Some keys are very small to use like arrow right and left, esc, CMD, FN and up/down arrow.

    This keyboard is so cute. I love the color and it feels great to type on. The backlit keys are really cool too. It is smaller than a regular keyboard so it doesn't have a number pad and some keys are in a different place than I'm used to but I'm getting used to using it.

    I simply love this keyboard. Pink/Rose are my favorite color, so when I saw it, I knew I had to have it. It’s lightweight but not to light. I love the backlight when typing at night. The emoji feature is great. Great price. Very fast delivery. I also purchased the matching Logitech MX Wireless Mouse in rose. I am extremely satisfied with these 2 products.

    Fantastic Mini Keyboard

    |
    Tech Insider Network Member
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a nice little keyboard that delivers a pleasurable typing experience. I’m not quite convinced on it being a “creator’s keyboard” (I’m a legal professional), but it delivers. It’s pricey for a keyboard, but if you type for any amount of time during the day and you care about that experience, this one is worth a look. Especially if you have limited desktop space or like to take a keyboard with you for travel (I do on work trips). IN THE BOX Pretty straightforward, the keyboard and a USB cable. Know that for the first time in a long time, if ever, Logitech doesn’t include a USB dongle to plug into your computer. Some people might be disappointed, but I love the idea. Virtually every computer nowadays has Bluietooth, why take up a USB slot with a dongle? SETUP I recommend plugging in the keyboard before even using it (if you’re able to). My keyboard was shipped with less than 25% so it died pretty quickly after I began using it. Much like Bluetooth headphones, or speakers, setting up the Mini MX keyboard is a similar process. You simply open up the Bluetooth settings in your computer and search for a new device. Then you turn on your keyboard (there’s a switch on the top, can’t miss it), then you hold down the F1, F2 or F3 button to put it in pairing mode. You can repeat this process with up to three different devices. When you want to switch you simply tap which of those buttons that corresponds with the device you’re using. DESIGN AND TYPING EXPERIENCE I’ve been fond of the MX lines of keyboard and mice for a long time. I own several MX mice and I own the first MX keyboard. I really like the overall design and build quality of the devices. As for the Mini, the design is fantastic. It’s extremely svelte and sturdy. The battery resides in the top which also serves as a stand so the keys are angled slightly towards you. I have to say, I don’t normally use mini keyboards that don’t have number pads, so it feels at first, a little awkward to type on, but I assure you, the keyboard layout is the equivalent of a normal keyboard (sans numberpad). Obviously, if you need a number pad, this keyboard isn’t for you. I’ve somewhat of a typing enthusiast. I am a legal professional and I’m typing everyday and I enjoy “clicky” sounding mechanical keyboards. The MX Mini isn’t a traditional mechanical keyboard, the keys are more shallow and more quiet, but it delivers a satisfying experience. I also like the size. While this hasn’t replaced my desktop keyboard, because I use the number pad a lot, it does travel with me because I much prefer a keyboard to ANY laptop keyboard. And I like the small size and footprint. It’s pretty easy to travel with. My only complaint with the design is the inclusion of Mac and Windows shortcuts. It’s obvious why the keyboard has both, but as a strictly Windows user, it’s odd seeing symbols I’m not used to. But that’s an extremely minor gripe, we’re talking about 4 keys. FEATURES So this is billed as a keyboard for creative types. I don’t really understand that marketing. Sure, it has a button to bring up emojis (which I’ve tried just to test but don’t use in my everyday work). But unlike the original MX keyboard which has a cool dial (which could do a number of things, scroll through tabs in a browser, adjust volume etc.) there’s nothing in my mind that separates the MX mini from any other mini keyboard (in terms of “creative” features). There’s a dedicated emoji button, transcribing button (more on that below), mic mute (convenient for video conference calls), play/pause and volume buttons. These aren’t found in all keyboards, but to me there’s nothing creative about them, they’re just standard keyboard shortcuts that are really convenient to have. My favorite might actually by the microphone button. Using a Windows computer, I hit that button and it activates the microphone built into my laptop. I can then transcribe like you might with Google or Siri on your phone. It’s convenient and it works pretty well, but I’m more of a typing person than dictation person, but I can see that being beneficial to some. The emoji button brings up emojis (at least in Google Docs) that allows you to pick one to insert. I guess this is cool, but I don’t typically put emojis in anything but text messages. BATTERY LIFE One thing I’ve never had any complaints about from Logitech mice and cordless keyboards is battery life. And this Mini MX is no exception. It claims to have 10 day battery life with the backlight on, and several week battery life with the backlight off. I haven’t tested this claim, but I certainly trust Logitech based on previous experiences. I actually turn the backlight on and off depending on the setting. I tend to keep it off because my office is well lit, but in a dark hotel I turn it on. You can turn it on and off by holding the brightness level buttons (obviously holding the dimmer button until it’s off and vice versa). A nice battery saving feature is that the backlight will turn off if it doesn’t detect input after so many seconds and turns back on when you start typing again. The backlight is nice, it illuminates all of the keys, through the keys themselves (versus just seeing the light underneath each key). MISCELLANEOUS My only real complaint is the small size of the arrow keys. In a full sized keyboard the arrows are offset away from the enter key so they’re plenty big. Here, the keys are half size and underneath the shift button. It’s just an unfortunate necessity for any mini keyboard. Not necessarily a design choice made only by Logitech. I just wanted to also mention the types of devices this keyboard works with. Obviously anything Bluetooth. I connected it to my Galaxy FoldZ3 and it worked well. It also easily paired to my GOogle Slate Chromebook (and obviously my WIndows laptop). I haven’t tested it with any Apple products, but I have zero doubts that it will work great with those devices as well. CONCLUSION Logitech has done it again, building a high quality keyboard worth your money. Especially for those that care about the looks of their devices and a premium keyboard typing experience. The battery life is phenomenal, it can connect to 3 devices at once and it’s extremely responsive (connecting within fractions of a second when turning it on). While it’s advertised towards creatives, let’s be honest, it’s a fantastic keyboard for everyone.

    A Little Pro

    I’ve been using Logitech’s Craft keyboard for some time, and a couple of times I even decided to carry it from home to work with me, but it normally stays parked on my desk at home. It was just too bulky to lug around. Enter in the little and capable brother, the MX Keys Mini. This gives you just about all the same typing experience as the larger MX/Craft, with a couple of compromises. Setup is a breeze, especially if you have the Logitech Options software already installed. My PC at home had a little notification pop up when I powered up the MX Keys Mini and in a couple of seconds, it was connected to my computer. I also connected it to my PC at work, and another laptop. Typing experience is top notch! It feels so great using this keyboard, it does not feel cramped, and the feel of the keys is awesome. The typing feel is the same as what I get on the Craft keyboard. I love the backlight keys and that they illuminate as soon as it senses your hands, approaching they keys. You get easy to access media keys, and a new emoji key that my Craft keyboard doesn’t have. I’ve used it a couple of times in some meetings. I love that the mic mute button is not for the software that you are currently using, but it mutes the mic at the system level. So far, the battery life has been great. I’ve been using it daily for the last week and it is still going strong. It is easy to stow, not quite as portable as my Keys-to-Go keyboard, but this experience is much better, that I don’t mind the extra weight. The only compromise that some folks might not like is the lack of number keypad. You still get the top row of number keys, but if you use the number keypad frequently, this does not have one. Obviously, this is omitted to reduce size and weight, and I am totally fine with it, I just thought it was worth mentioning. I love this little keyboard. It’s comfortable to use, allows you to quickly switch between 3 paired devices, and has all the bells and whistles you would expect from a high-quality keyboard. This is an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a great portable typing experience.

    Performance Comfortable Mini MX keyboard for creat

    Logi MX keys Mini is minimalist 70% form factor wireless illuminated keyboard intended to take anywhere on the go or for minimizing desk space and targeted for everyday productivity. It takes less space on your desk and looks awesome when paired with MX master3 and MX speakers(see pic). Unboxing and What’s included: In the box, MX Mini keyboard, USB C to A cable for charging in box with safety, compliance, and warranty info papers. Keyboard’s minimalistic design is excellent with 75% ergonomic form factor and measures 11.65 x 5.19x 0.82 inches and weighs around 506 grams. Setup is simple. It does not come with the new compatible Logi Bolt receiver that was released recently and this keyboard will not pair or work with unifying receiver. So, if you are planning to purchase this to use with your unifying receiver you are out of luck and may need to purchase the new Bolt USB receiver. Connection via Bluetooth is simple and uses Bluetooth low energy and is compatible with windows 10 or Mac or iOS or iPad OS or Android OS. Just go the settings and search for available nearby devices after turning the switch on and select the MX keys mini to get connected. You can connect max of 3 devices and switch between them with the tap of the easy switch keys located on the top row. Very seamless and fluid switching between devices once configured and connected. To connect different devices after connecting one device, press and hold the another easy-switch buttons on top for few seconds until it blinks to complete the setup process for other device. Once configured, just with the tap of the easy switch keys you can navigate to different devices. For my setup, I have my work laptop and personal gaming laptop connected to the Samsung 49-inch G9 monitor on a sit stand desk and this new mini keyboard paired with MX Master 3 works great for productivity. You can customize this keyboard with various functions by downloading the Logitech options software and setup functions keys and setup voice to text dictation. By default, the first row of 3 keys is assigned with easy switch keys to switch to various devices (1 to 3), decreasing /increasing brightness for backlighting for keyboard, dictation and emoji keys, screen capture keys, mic off keys and multimedia keys (play/pause, volume mute, volume decrease, volume increase). All these keys can be easy switched between Fn keys by pressing Fn+Esc and all this without holding the Fn button. Keystroke is perfect with the keys shaped for fingertips and is very comfortable ergonomically. Batteries will last up to 10 days on a full charge, and it again depends on the usage and the backlight brightness. If you need more than few months of battery life, suggest turning off the backlighting in the logi options software or reduce the brightness to save battery. This mini MX keys will definitely save desk space and when paired with MX Master 3 it can switch and operate multiple computers on the same network seamless using the Logitech flow software. Overall, if you are looking for a productive, compact (space saving), performance, comfortable, portable (easy to take anywhere you go), wireless, multi device connection keyboard without losing the full keyboard functions and have no need for dedicated number pad then this is the keyboard for you and won’t regret the purchase.

    ## Design I’m a big fan of the full-size version of the Logitech MX Keys keyboard, so I was happy to see that Logitech makes a smaller version now as well. The MX Keys Mini drops the numeric keyboard and reconfigures the layout a bit, making the arrow keys smaller and shrinking the CTRL, FN and other related keys, while keeping the letters and numbers at full size. The keys are backlit and impressively light up as your hand approaches the keyboard, making it easy to see where your hands should “land” in a dark room. On the row of function keys are dedicated media and volume controls. ## Performance Like its larger sibling, the Logitich MX Keys Mini still has a satisfying feel when typing. It’s not “clicky” like a typical mechanical keyboard, but the keys do provide nice tactile feedback when pressed. I find the keyboard very comfortable for long typing and coding sessions. Battery life seems to be very good as I’ve only had the keyboard for a few days, but I haven’t needed to recharge it yet, even with the backlight on. ## Features Wireless: Oddly, there was no Logitech Unifying Receiver included with this keyboard (although the full size keyboard did include one). Therefore, your only option of connecting the keyboard is via Bluetooth. The USB-C port appears to be “charge only” as I was not able to use the keyboard via a wired connection. Backlighting: As mentioned earlier, the backlight seems to sense that your hand is approaching and lights up before you even touch a key. There is only a white LED backlight, so there is no option to change between different colors. Multiple machine support: There are 3 dedicated buttons for switching between devices. So you can pair the keyboard via Bluetooth to your laptop, phone and tablet and then switch between devices easily. Emoji key: Maybe one of my favorite new features, there is a dedicated key for emojis on the F7 key that allows you to easily bring up iOS’ Emoji keyboard. Screenshot key: There is also a dedicated screenshot key that invokes iOS’ screenshot function. Dictation key: There is also a key for voice dictation that invokes iOS’ dictation feature. USB-C Recharging: You can use the included USB-C to charge the kayboard, but not to connect it to your computer as a wired keyboard. ## Summary Overall, the Logitech MX Keys Mini keyboard is great for using your laptop in “clamshell” mode, or for connecting to your phone, tablet, or any device with Bluetooth keyboard support. The backlight feature works very well and the dedicated Emoji, screenshot and dictation keys are very convenient. Unfortunately, a wireless USB adapter is not included with this version of the keyboard, so it will need a Bluetooth connection.

    Excellent Typing Experience on a Small Keyboard

    |
    Tech Insider Network Member
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I’ve been using the Logitech Craft for work for a few years now. I don’t make much use of the multi-function input dial, but I’ve loved the feeling of typing on it and the MX Keys Min delivers an even better experience. I won’t be using it for work unfortunately because I need the ten-key, but if you don’t need that it’s a really solid keyboard that can live on a desk or your bag. The function keys at the top are minimal, but all very useful and it’s a great companion for my MX Anywhere 3. The first thing I noticed about the Mini was how light it was compared to my Craft keyboard. Obviously it’s much smaller, but even still I wasn’t expecting it to be so light. It feels just as solid though. The key layout is almost exactly the same size as the Craft keyboard, minus the arrow keys and ten-keypad. The keys are universal and can be used on Mac or Windows. It charges via USB-C. Logitech calls this a minimalist keyboard and I think that’s a fair description. There’s not an egregious amount of extra function keys here and the ones that are there are all generally very useful to me. If you’re somebody like me who cares about the aesthetics of what you use I think you’ll appreciate the design. The keyboard connects primarily via Bluetooth, though it can also be connected via Logitech’s new Bolt dongle, which is not included in the box. The Bolt is different from the Unifying Receiver that has been in use for the past several years, so if you’ve already got some Logitech accessories this will not connect to the same receiver. I found the Bluetooth connection to my Surface Book to be solid, no complaints at all there. I have a largish hands and found the experience of typing on this keyboard to feel just a little cramped compared to my Craft, but I think that has less to do with the key spacing and more to do with the fact that the frame is so small that it feels like I might slide off the side if I reach over too far. The typing experience is similar to the Craft, but with a little bit more key travel. The difference is noticeable and I don’t feel like I’m bottoming out the keys nearly as much as I do sometimes when I’m furiously typing away on the Craft. The keys all have circular indentations that make them easy to settle on by feel with my fingers. I mostly used this with my Surface Book and while I didn’t typically use an external keyboard with it before, it was nice to actually push the laptop back a little bit and not hunch into it to type. The battery life is rated up to 10 days with backlighting and 5 months with the backlight turned off. I don’t do much of my typing in the dark, so will likely leave the backlight off, but it does look good and seems to adjust itself to the appropriate level. I’m happy with this keyboard overall. I love what Logitech is doing with their Master series and I’m glad I have this to compliment my mouse. For power users I’d go with the full size MX Keys, especially since it’s the same price, but for if you’re looking for a compact keyboard this is a great high quality choice and much better than something like Apple’s Magic Keyboard.

      Hello. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the MX Keys Mini. I'm sorry to hear that you're not happy with the connectivity of the keyboard. It is meant to be a Bluetooth keyboard, but it also uses our newest Bolt technology, which is our most secure and encrypted wireless technology, ever. Unfortunately, it does not use the Unifying Receiver, and only a few devices are using Bolt at the moment, but you can still connect it using Bluetooth. It is a great keyboard (I'm actually typing my response on an MX Keys Mini right now)!

    I’m a big fan of Logitech’s MX series. I have the full-sized MX Keyboard and both the MX Anywhere and the MX Pro mouse. They are my go-to devices for both desktop and laptop use. This “mini” version is just what it says, a small version of the full MX keyboard with a few significant changes. What hasn’t changed is the excellent feel and quality build. It has the same key action which is my favorite. It also has the MX series ability to pair with up to three devices and switch between them at the touch of the dedicated 1/2/3 keys. It also can use the Logitech Flow system to drag and drop things between those devices. As with the full-sized version, the keyboard lights come on only when your hands are in proximity thus conserving battery. Depending on how bright you set things, the internal rechargeable battery life is anywhere from 10 days to several months. It charges with the included USB C to A cable from any source. The alpha keys are full size, so it gets its diminutive size by omitting the Numpad and a few other keys. There are also differences in its pairing ability. The previous MX devices could pair with the ubiquitous Logitech Unifying Receiver dongle or directly via Bluetooth. This new device supports Bluetooth but does not support the Unifying dongle. It can pair the newer Logitech Bolt dongle. However, they did not include one, and they are an additional $20. Be aware that none of your existing Logitech products can use the Bolt since it’s not backward compatible. Considering I have other MX products, that’s a notable issue. There are also some new dedicated F-key functions … dictation, emojis, and mic mute. To get these you give up a few … task view, action center, show/hide desktop, previous track, next track, calculator, and app menu. It does have the basic arrow keys, but missing along with the num-key section are some important navigation keys … insert, home, end, page up, and page down. The mini is marketed as a “creator’s keyboard”, so it’s up to you to decide if the keys added compensate for those removed. The touch and feel are superb. The build is top quality. The battery life is great. The size is definitely small. If the key selection meets your needs and the smaller size is a plus, you’ll love it, and I recommend it with those qualifications.
