Hard to Recommend, and a lot of Compromises

Let's start with the good. It's a slim, 75% layout mechanical keyboard, with some decent, if not particularly awe-inspiring, low-profile tactile mechanical switches. The backlight, while only white, is still bright, even, and not harsh or with a ton of leakage.
Typing is no frills, but enjoyable. The brown switches have a slight tactile bump, and though it's not very pronounced, it is noticeable and would make someone who's only ever typed on membrane or scissor style boards very comfortable.
Let's get to the bad.
The plastic bottom case makes the whole thing feel light, and not in a good way. Top be honest, the whole unit feels a little cheap, which is ironic, given how much this thing costs.
You only get one backlight color (white), which is something of a letdown at this price point.
The key switches are not hot-swappable, which I knew before buying, but it's still disappointing (and completely in line with Logitech's 'pay more, get less' motto) to see in something this expensive.
Lastly, connectivity. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why Logitech decided to provide the device with USB-C charging, but opted not to allow wired connections. You have bluetooth, which is great, and you get a bolt USB reciever, which is... fine, I guess? But it would have cost nothing to let you use this thing wired. This, more than anything else, is what drives me nuts about this. There's a lot to like, but there's an equal amount of stuff that makes me scream "AVOID!!!"
For example. the Nuphy air75 is similarly sized mechanical keyboard, with hot-swappable switches, wired connections in addition to BT, and has an all metal body. It's actually about 35 dollars CHEAPER than the MX mechanical.
IF you wanted to go cheaper, the Keychron K1, K3, or K7 all offer low-profile options, with a ton of options, and can price as low as 80 dollars.
tl;dr - unless you're a die-hard Logitech fan (why?), It's hard to recommend this keyboard to anyone, when there's so many better options out there that may not have the brand recognition, but also offer better features at better prices.

I got this for school but I've been using it for gaming and other things. The keys feel amazing to type on and its super compact. The amount of things that this keyboard is able to do actually surprised me! Something small that it does is when your hands are away the back lighting turns off, however when your hands come back closer the lights turn back on without even touching the keys. Overall, i will be keeping this and using it for many different things!

I regularly switch between Mac and Windows devices, and this keyboard is hands down the best for that.
It makes switching between devices super easy—I currently have three connected at once. The look and feel also complement my desk setup perfectly.
If you’re coming from an Apple Magic Keyboard, there might be a bit of an adjustment period, but once you’re used to it, you’re golden.

One of the easiest keyboards I’ve used. I’ve been using multiple different high end gaming keyboards and this has been easier, faster, and smoothest typing experience. Fast response times and instant wake after sleep. The key bscklighting just doesnt seem to function well. Does not seem to light up right aways even after typing. Another issue I’ve notice is the keyboard is much more repsonsize and reliable using bluetooth than the USB adapter. Overall a solid keyboard

I purchased this to use with my tablet while on the road. It is small enough to drop into my work bag, and connects to the tablet very easily, which is exactly what I wanted it to do. It is very easy to use! I wouldn't have any other keyboard for traveling for work. The only "con" I can think of is that it doesn't have a place to store the little USB key on the keyboard when not in use so that it isn't lost.

Love this keyboard. I type a lot so having something comfortable to type on makes my life easier. Battery life is great, backlit keys are great, and responsiveness after coming out of sleep is great. Get the tactile linear one. The other two are either too mushy or too click. Middle child is perfect.

The Logitech MX Mechanical Mini Compact Wireless Keyboard offers a compelling blend of compact design, mechanical tactile switches, and wireless functionality. The mini layout is ideal for those seeking portability without sacrificing typing experience. The mechanical switches provide a satisfying tactile feel, enhancing typing speed and accuracy.
The inclusion of backlit keys adds versatility, allowing users to work seamlessly in various lighting conditions. The compatibility with both Windows and macOS platforms broadens its appeal. However, users accustomed to full-sized keyboards might take time to adjust to the condensed layout.
The sleek graphite finish adds a touch of sophistication to the overall design. Despite its compact form, the Logitech MX Mechanical Mini delivers a robust and comfortable typing experience, making it an excellent choice for on-the-go professionals or those with limited desk space.

Kailh brown switches (tactile) feel great to type on and have a pretty satisfying thock sound in my opinion. I bought it for use with a tablet (Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra) while traveling and it played its role very well. Probably not the best compact mech keyboard I'll ever own, but for a pre-build I'm happy with it. I imagine it would be hard to find one better than this though if you prioritize a sleek, minimal, unassuming "business" look. Only complaint would be that it's a bit pricier than I would've liked, but I didn't have the luxury of waiting for a sale when I bought it. If I found it for $30-$40 off (~$90-$100) it would be hard to pass on, and pretty unbeatable for what you get at that price. Recommended.

This has been my go to mechanical keyboard for work and home. I’m someone that loves getting a different keyboard every month (it feels like) and typing on something new quite often. This has been my main keyboard since I purchased it 1 year ago.
Sure, I still swap out keyboards every so often simply because that’s how I am, but I always return to my MX tactile mechanical for longer periods of time. The seamless transition between home and work machines (remote work) make this keyboard that much better.
I don’t see myself deviating from this Logitech board anytime soon. After 1 year it still feels like it did the day I bought it.

It is a little spendy but it is worth it. feels great, easy to clean (you will need to clean the key caps as they attract a fair bit of dirt), and long battery life if you have the keyboard connecting to the 2.4ghz usb and medium backlight.

My keyboard endgame, with minor flaws

Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I've purchased more keyboards in the past two years than I can count on one hand, including the MX Keys, MX Keys Mini, and now this MX Mechanical Mini. I'm on a keyboard for nearly the entire work day, so I’m always discovering something that my fingers aren’t happy with. That said, I think this new mechanical is my keyboard endgame.
The layout of the MX Mechanical Mini is just about perfect. Most importantly, all of the keys are full-size, and it includes the column of keys for del, home, end, pg up and down keys, which I use regularly. By contrast, the full layout of the MX Keys was too big (the num pad contributed to shoulder pain from reaching for my trackball), and the too-compact layout of the MX Keys Mini had those silly mini arrow keys and was missing the navigation keys.
As far as the low-profile tactile mechanical switches in the MX Mechanical go, I was pleasantly surprised that my fingers were fine with the amount of travel compared to the lowest-profile Perfect Stroke keys of the MX Keys/Mini. I thought they might contribute to more fatigue and errors, but neither have been an issue after a week of use. It’s a very close second to the MX Keys/Mini, but these low-profile mechanical switches are close enough that I can adapt just fine.
Noise level is very acceptable. In fact, to me it’s not as offensive as the MX Keys/Mini. All of the large keys are well-dampened and stabilized so they have a satisfying “thunk” as opposed to a high-pitched “tick” as with the Keys/Mini.
Connectivity is excellent. This is why I prefer this keyboard to other wireless mechanical keyboards I’ve tried in the past. Bluetooth pairing is immediate and rock solid. The Bolt option is even better.
As for shortcomings, the biggest is the short-lived coating used on the keys. After one forty-ish-hour week, some of the keys are already showing wear and shine. The MX Keys/Mini coating is a lot more durable. Also not ideal is the less responsive backlighting compared to the MX Keys. It seems like much more movement is required to activate the backlight motion sensor. And there’s a longer delay as well. None of those issues are big in my mind, and I can look past them.
Now, if Logitech came out with a Perfect Stroke keyboard with the same layout as the Mechanical Mini, then I might have to reconsider, but for now I think this is my favorite keyboard out of the seven or eight I’ve tried in the past two years.
PS. Hey, Logitech, if you’re listening, make replacement key caps available for these new mechanical keyboards. :)
