Really good wireless keyboard. I use it several hours each day for gaming (mainly). The battery will last approximately 8 hours or so before it needs a charge.

The keys pop off easily and are expensive to replace (~$18 per key). The rubber parts underneath keyboard fall off easily too. Logitech would not offer support since the warranty was a few months out. Now I have to be blinded everyday when I look at it.
Really nice keyboard, doesn't travel well at all.

Your Home Office’s Upmarket Upgrade

Logitech is one of the very few peripheral brands that’s survived, and indeed thrived, through four decades of personal computing. Revered for quality products relative to their price, they have inroads to most of the major desktop peripheral and laptop accessory categories, often delivering one of the best value propositions in the category. It was only in the last few years that Logitech began trying for more premium market niches with the introduction of the MX Master mouse series, putting its engineering might into a device for those seeking a next-level device.
The MX Keys Advanced Wireless Illuminated Keyboard launches alongside the third iteration of the brand’s MX Master computer mouse, completing the premium, wireless desktop setup. With a workflow-enhancing trick up its sleeve, this low-profile, full-size, backlit keyboard is a wonderful addition to the home office setup no matter what OS you use, even if they mix and match.
- Unboxing and Setup
The most noticeable aspect of the MX Keys Wireless Keyboard is its weight. This is a surprisingly heavy keyboard given its slim profile and shallow keys, which gives it a premium feel and holds the keyboard in place on your desk. Logitech includes a 4.5-foot USB-C cable in the box for recharging. An included, pre-paired Logitech Unifying Receiver lets you connect immediately and start using the keyboard in a standard device mode for either Windows or Mac computers, but the manual indicates further functionality requires a download and installation of Logitech Options software.
The Logitech Options software is a 200MB download that, as strictly a driver companion, would be the weakest part of the entire Logitech MX experience. It requires an account to be created or linked to a Google or Facebook account to use the software, and doing so backs up your settings to Logitech’s own cloud to let you sync your keyboard settings across devices. The software is somewhat basic and allows for the usual litany of function key reassignments, but besides Logitech Flow there’s little that the software adds to the MX Keyboard experience.
A nice feature of the Logitech’s MX device line is that they can be paired to 3 different devices once configured with the Logitech Options software. The keyboard can be paired via Bluetooth to any compatible device and this connection saved to any of the three device slots on the keyboard. These slots can also store a pairing to any Logitech Unifying Receiver and switching between them is a quick button-press along the top of the keyboard.
- Design & Typing
The low-profile keyboard mimics those included with high-end all-in-one computers right down to the materials quality, and the typing experience is about on-par overall, though it excels in some areas and falls a bit short in others.
Touch-typing is a joy on this keyboard. Each of the key tops has a concave divot that adds much more to the experience than I thought it would, as this combines with the “chiclet” style keys to almost mindlessly adjust your finger positioning while typing and stay on target. It doesn’t seem like a keyboard that I’d be able to set speed records on, mind you, but in day to day use it feels quite natural.
Unfortunately, the keyboard falls a bit short on tactile feel. Each key switch appears to be a “scissor” style of Logitech’s own design, as prominently featured on the box, but I can’t honestly tell these too far apart from a rubber-dome membrane style keyboard. It’s not to say the keys are bad by any stretch, but the resulting feel under the fingers will be merely adequate for those accustomed to mechanical keyboard switches. That said, these scissor style switches feel great for how little throw they need (I would guess a little over 2mm each) - I would compare this favorably to a good chiclet style keyboard from a gaming laptop.
While the key selection seemed appropriate at first glance, mimicking a standard 102-key computer keyboard and adding a few function keys over the numpad, Windows users will lose the Print Screen and Pause-Break keys. Probably not an issue for most users, but worth mentioning.
- Logitech Flow
Logitech Options’ killer feature is Logitech Flow. Essentially a software-based keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) switch, Flow lets you control two computers using a single set of Logitech MX (and presumably other Logitech-branded) devices. While the trick would be neat enough in itself to control two computers, the software synchronizes both machines’ clipboards automatically, allowing seamless copy-paste and drag-and-drop integration between them. This works for both Windows and Macintosh machines, and you can indeed mix-and-match operating systems. The only limitations to Flow are that it must be used with two machines on the same local network, and both machines must be on and awake.
Flow was surprisingly easy to set up and sync between computers. In my case I used my MX Master 3 wireless mouse to start the pairing (you’ll need to have at least one device that has a profile saved for each machine using Flow) and once enabled I had no trouble using a single mouse pointer and keyboard between two machines. The MX Keys worked flawlessly and was just as responsive once focus changed to the “remote” machine as the local. I can see this being incredibly useful for those juggling multiple computers for work.
- Wireless
The wireless range on the keyboard to a Unifying Receiver will vary based on interference - if it’s installed on a rear USB port on a desktop tower it may lose connection much easier than when it’s installed on the front. Regardless, the keyboard’s range exceeded 15 feet in my testing with multiple obstructions and did not drop keypresses.
While this is by no means a gaming keyboard, a slight bit of latency was noticeable as I typed out this review, perhaps two or three frames (33-50ms) between a keypress and characters appearing on-screen. With a different, directly-wired keyboard this latency was non-existent. Logitech includes a USB-A to USB-C cable with the MX Keys that I plugged in hoping to mitigate the latency by using it as a wired keyboard, but unfortunately the port only charges its internal battery (though the cable did work for data transfer between my phone and PC). This device should be kept strictly to non-gaming tasks.
- Bottom Line
Gamers and mechanical keyboard aficionados need not apply, but for everyone else, Logitech’s MX Keys Advanced Wireless Illuminated Keyboard is all the keyboard you’ll need for home computers. The look, feel, and performance all match up to premium computer brands while maintaining compatibility with nearly all of them. What would have been an appropriate value at an MSRP of $99.99 becomes a great one when multiple device profiles and Flow capability are factored in; this could replace multiple computer keyboards in a single go. Logitech’s push upmarket into premium territory continues with the MX Keys Advanced, and thus comes highly recommended!

This review is mainly for Best Buy store located at 402 E Fordham Rd, Bronx, NY 10458. Horrible customer service, the item was listed as open box excellent, but when I picked up, there was no box and it was just taped up, when I removed the tape the keys fell off!! When I tried to return as soon as I saw the condition, they insisted I call customer service to return!!

I bought this keyboard for my friend who lives overseas. I bought it open box excellent condition, thinking that everything was going to be as the condition says "excellent" when it arrived the keyboard was dirty and the keys were full of everything you can imagine. I do not recommend that you buy open box items as you never know how they will arrive, even if it is said to be in excellent condition that is not always the case.

Fits keyboard tray, but changing keys won't work

Bought this keyboard primarily to fit / function with my mouse on my 23" wide keyboard tray with only 3" height clearance -- its works great for my primary purpose. However, after downloading and installing the latest Logitech Options (Windows 10) application, I began *trying* to re-program keys -- does not work. Example -- tried to re-program the Lock key to 'Sleep', but it powers down the computer instead. Tried re-installing, updating Win10, changing the USB port, but nothing worked -- it still powers down the computer. Also, the screen capture key defaults to Microsoft OneDrive, and nothing I do can change that assignment. My efforts, which were a waste of my time, to re-program keys using Logitech's Options application didn't work at all for any key on the keyboard.

I have enjoyed using the MX Keys for the past two weeks.
For me, keyboard feel and response is primary. A clickety-clack keyboard is fine with me, but I do tend to be heavy on the keys, so my productivity can be noisy on a traditional keyboard. The MX keys feel nice and responsive, with reassuring key travel. And I can work in silence on this keyboard. My office mates, I am sure, will thank me for that. I have enjoyed the Keys as well as the companion mouse, the MX Master 3.
This is a beautiful lighted keyboard which automatically adjusts back lighting, and which is also easily controlled from the keyboard itself. It also has a keypad, a great office convenience for me.
Connectivity is solid. You can either mate these devices with your computer using the Logitech Unifying Receiver dongle (one supplied for each device) or, if your computer has Bluetooth connectivity, you can use Bluetooth instead. I did not need the dongle as Bluetooth was completely satisfactory. You can also pair the MX Keys with up to three devices. I had it paired with my computer and phone in minutes. I was able to immediately switch between controlling my laptop to controlling my smartphone by pressing the appropriate button on the keyboard.
The MX Master 3 is simply beautiful on my desktop next to the MX Keys. The mouse has a vertical scroll wheel with a button to control whether the scrolling is smooth or with indentions. There is also a horizontal scroll wheel which I often used often with a customized zoom in and out function in Microsoft Word. There are also two additional customizable buttons beneath the horizontal scroll wheel. The feel of the mouse in my average-sized hand was perfect, and the scrolling function is smooth and flawless.
The keys and mouse have a great working symbiosis. A plethora of customizations, both general and specific to commonly used office software is offered with the Logitech Options software. Functions on the mouse and keyboard can be changed, customized and re-arranged using the software. The possibilities are not infinite, but they would far exceed your patience and the scope of this review.
The keyboard and the mouse are charged via supplied USB-C to USB-A cables. I did not time the charge, but you should expect to complete a full charge in three hours or less. While charging, a green LED flashes on the respective device. When it turns solid green, the device is fully charged. The LED changes to red when the battery is low. I had not seen it at the red level during my several days of testing, but I did get a low battery indication after about two weeks of heavy use, and performed a recharge.
The keyboard is slim in physical dimension, but intentionally weighted by design. It will not be wandering anywhere on your desktop unless you pick it up and move it. There are no extending feet to break either, a feature which I greatly appreciate.
These are quality components from Logitech that were an immense pleasure to use. Highly recommended.

Logitech MX Keys advanced wireless illuminated keyboard is sleek and clean looking. It has a nice black matte finish and is easy to set up out of the box. You just have to plug the USB receiver, that is provided, into the computer and it will automatically download the device driver.
The keyboard is sturdy feeling, and does not feel like those other lightweight plastic keyboard bodies. I also enjoy how they use Spherically dished keys that feel like your finger are in little wells, allowing for easier typing and transitioning between keys. The only downside to this keyboard is that it does not have any optional riser’s on the back so that you can elevate it on an angle or not.
This is a non battery operated keyboard, so you will need to keep the charging USB cord nearby that comes with it to charge when it starts to get low on power. (The same is true for the MX Master mouse that works seamlessly with this keyboard.)
A couple of extra points. The customer service telephone number for this product is 646-454-3200 and here is the link that helps you download the Logitech Options software to manage your Logitech devices, which it instantly recognized https://download01.logi.com/web/ftp/pub/techsupport/Optionjs_8.0.863.exe . You can either leave all of some of the function keys as they are or you can change them to do various applications. The think I like the backlight and its sensor the best. Once you put your hands near the keyboard there are sensors that make the backlight come on when the ambient lighting in the room is low. The backlight up and down F keys are F6 and F7. It says that if the backlight feature is disabled, which you have to go onto the Logitech support software to do, then instead of 10 days of power there should be 5 months. . The battery indicator is on the top right and when you turn the keyboard on, the green light indicator is green and will turn itself off, and when you get to 10% of battery, the red indicator light will come on and shut down the backlight feature.
This is a thumbs up.

This is a premium keyboard and it does have the look and feel of a premium keyboard. Very beautiful. Very comfortable to type on. Very sturdy as the base is made of metal and thus heavier than most other keyboard for its size. It is very compact and does not take up a lot of space. Battery last a long time, I have been using the keyboard for about a month and the battery is still full. It can connect using the usb receiver as well as bluetooth and can connect up to 3 devices. This replaces my Logitech Illuminated Keyboard K800 even though the individual key is 1mm smaller and does not have adjustable tilt. After a while, I no longer miss the adjustable tilt feet. See picture for size comparison.
