There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
There are a few cons. There is no space between the top number row and the function keys, or between each of the four groups of function keys, which means I can't press the function keys by feel. By default, the function key is locked on, which means when you press a function key, you are actually pressing it's alternate function like volume up or down, which is backwards to me (why do all new laptops do that too?). Fortunately, with regards to the function key, there is a way to reverse the function lock by pressing FN+ESC so that pressing a function key does not activate its alternate function by default. The other con is that there is no print screen button! I find this very annoying. Instead, you must press FN+F7 (or just F7 if you don't reverse the function lock...). Perhaps there is a way to fix this in Logi Options, but I shouldn't have to figure that out on a $160 keyboard, sorry Logitech. Also, for some reason, I had an issue with the Num Lock key and I think it had to do with the FN key there too. Very annoying. For what is to be considered a "Full-size" keyboard, this should have no need for a function key, or at least it should not for Num lock and Print screen.
Otherwise, the keyboard is great and I am very happy with, quirks aside. It works great with my KVM and it works fine on my work laptop which does not have (or the ability to have) Logi Options installed.
I've been using the Logitech MX Mechanical Wireless Illuminated Performance Keyboard, and it's been a game-changer. This keyboard exudes quality with its heavy and premium feel, making typing a pleasure.
What's truly remarkable is the battery life. With the backlight on, it lasts a full month on a single charge; turn off the backlight, and you get a whopping 10 months of usage – incredible! The USB-C connectivity is fast and reliable, and the sleek design adds a touch of sophistication to my workspace.
The six lighting customizations allow me to personalize my typing experience, and key remapping is a fantastic feature for customization.
However, there's a drawback – the Logi Options Plus software doesn't work on Android, limiting some features on the go. Also, my workplace restrictions prevent me from downloading the software, so I can't unlock its full potential there. But even without it, the keyboard performs excellently; you just can't customize it as extensively.
In summary, the Logitech MX Keyboard is a top-tier choice, offering impressive battery life, USB-C connectivity, and customization options. It's highly recommended for productivity and style!

The keyboard does seem to be of high quality. I like that it's got some heft, and the design is very straightforward. The backlighting is pretty good. One thing of note, that I think a few other reviewers have noted: my keyboard was just a tad warped, right out of the box. It wouldn't set flat, without rocking a tiny bit, on my desk. I saw a suggestion from someone saying to just give it the mildest twist, and it'll be fine. I did that, and, sure enough, it's been fine ever since. I don't know if it's a bug or a feature, but I decided I liked the idea of it being that easy to give it a little adjustment whenever needed.
Overall this one looks like it might be a long term keeper, and I may even move on to the full size version and use the mini for more portable use cases.
Top reviews from other countries
The build quality is amazing. It's sturdy, and the internals are very tight, which means, no rattling, no added noise or reverbiation. As a result, this is a very quiet mechanical keyboard (I can only speak for the brown switch version).
The keycaps are made out of recycled plastic, but they don't feel cheap. They are quite smooth and easy to type with. The typing experience is very consistent and smooth (see type test photo). My typing speed is consistent with my other keyboards, but for me, it's definitely feels much better to type with tactile silent switches compared to my other keyboards.
Even though this keyboard is a low profile keyboard, there are flip up feet at the bottom of the keyboard to lift it up a little more to get a better angle if that's what you prefer.
The lights are nice, but what makes this keyboard really stand out is when it doesn't use the lights at all. Without the backlights on, this keyboard can do 10 months on 1 charge, which is completely unheard of for a mechanical full size wireless keyboard. I've had this keyboard for a couple of days on the whole time, and by now, my other wireless 60% would have died and required a recharge.
There is only one issue with this keyboard which is customization. For Macros, only some of the keys (F Keys and Cursor Targeting Group) can be customized vs what I am used to, which is being able to customize every single key. For customizing the physical look itself such as changing the switches or the keycaps, this keyboard cannot be customized like that. The spacebar doesn't use standard stabilizer stem widths. You can replace every key cap except for the spacebar. You also cannot change the switches unless you know some soldering which is not recommended.
As for the reason why I bough the keyboard. I absolutely love it! The logitech flow option allows me to move from my multiple computer setups with only one keyboard and mouse. I often multitask, I have a computer running 24/7 as my "smart tv" as well as my personal laptop, and my work computer. Considering how I can flow through all those computers from one set of mouse and keyboard without having to physically switch the mouse to use that specific computer is absolutely game changing. I feel like I am using one computer, even though they are all completely seperated.
Whenever a product can make someone's life easier, is when you know you have something truly revolutionary. For work and every day use, this is absolutely the best office keyboard to date.

Whenever a product can make someone's life easier, is when you know you have something truly revolutionary. For work and every day use, this is absolutely the best office keyboard to date.
1. Easy connectivity to switch between devices
2. Minimalistic Design
3. Good battery life.
4. Personally, I like the feel of the clicky switches.
Switches are ultimately a preference choice. Personally, I tried all three of the switches and these are my recommendation
If I were to rank them based on typing feel, it would be Clicky -> Linear -> Tactile Quiet.
Clicky: Best typing feel of them all, can accurately feel that I have pressed the button, noise is a bit loud so make sure to check with people around you before you decide to purchase it.
Linear: Feels like a normal keyboard, instead of a mechanical one. However, it is very smooth and nice to type as well, noise is the smallest.
Tactile Quiet: The weirdest feeling out of them all, this is supposed to be a compromise between the two so maybe that's why it feels weird, it's not mechanical enough that you get that satisfying feel and noise every time you press a key. So sometimes I am not sure if I have pressed it. On the other hand, it is not smooth enough to have a normal keyboard feel.
Ok onto my complaints. First I wish the key caps were a better material. They get glossy really quick from the slightly dirtiest fingers. I dunno if that’s due to the dark grey colour or the material itself. But for the price it should have better key caps. Second; I wish this thing had full rgb backlighting. The white is nice; but full colour would be better. Ok that’s it.
So overall this is a great desktop keyboard that you could also take with you if you wanted to use your laptop or iPad on the go with it. It’s great for multi device use and the typing experience is really nice!! If you’re coming from the keyboard that came with your Mac or PC… or want something small and portable; this is definitely for you!
I only use it with the dongle and it is super fast. Never tried bluetooth (I heard people complaining about it but I cannot testify).
The only thing that can be annoying is the layout. The lock key is top right, and when I type a phone number for example, I often hit the lock button instead of "-" so it locks me out of my session and I need to log back in. I heard of people disabling the lock button. I might try that and use Win + L to lock my session!
Also, I heard users complain about the keyboard light closing when inactive, making it hard to use in a dark room. Personally, whenever my hands are close to the keyboard, the light has always been on + the light turn on instantly when you approche your hands and it is turned off. So not an issue I would say.
Bluetooth rocks. It only had once lost connection but that is easy to reconnect.
It connects my two laptops and easy to switch between them.
It matches Logi Master 3S mouse.
