Logi MX Mechanical Mini - The Easy One

[@BeautifulTurkish]

I have the MX keys. I wish there was an MX keys model without the num pad. MX keys mini doesn't have home keys and arrow keys are too small. If there was a ten keyless MX keys (non-mechanical) that would be great!

[@ryandavidson7542]

Totally agree with you Oliur. Had several mech keyboards and all have been okay, but I always gravitate back to the magic keyboard.

[@Cured91]

Would've been great to do a switch comparison. The keyboard comes in 3 different versions (switches) and the review didn't mention this at all.

[@julientardif75]

As for the dongle, what I do with my mx master mouse, I keep it in a pencil case since I connect it via bluetooth at home and only use the dongle when I'm at work. But I agree, they should have found a place to put, but these product are so great nonetheless that I can easily forgive them for that.

[@valismind]

I am just watching this to see what people are saying about it. I got it from BestBuy today $54 off with the purchase of an Anywhere 3. - Which is why I bought it, because I needed a new mouse anyways. I love it, I think it's great. I got the "tactile" version, which is just brown switches. But they feel crisp, and typing on it feels extremally comfortable. I replaced my Keychron K3 low profile Wireless because it had red switches and was a nightmare for mistakes. This is MUCH MUCH better. One thing to note though, is Logitech's ecosystem is bad. If a device is using a BOLT receiver, and the other is using a Unifying receiver, you can't get either to work with each other. Which is confusing because of the bundle deal, but whatever. Great video!

[@matt3o]

please don't give false hopes, you cannot change the keycaps! The spacebar has non-standard stabilizers!

[@Chris1511]

Which key style did you order? Tactile quiet, linear or clicky? Thanks!

[@steveo6023]

Tactile quiet

[@marcel151]

02:23

[@TimVerbist]

There are three different key versions of this one: I got the clicky one and love it but there is also tactical and linear ones. Not sure which one was reviewed here?

[@emin74]

They are brown switches in the video. So it’s tactile quiet

[@paulhenricksen5728]

Keep this content going mate, really good. I used to be a custom keyboard snob but then realised the futility of it. In the past I would have scoffed at this but the combination of their world class wireless functionality with the mechanical keys and clean aesthetic make this one a winner.

[@mieux6655]

If you’re a snob, can you recommend “higher end” mechanical keyboards for Mac? Don’t know much about mechanical keyboards, but thinking to get into some mid-tier ones. From my 15 mins of research, it seems like most keyboards are made for windows.

Really like how this keyboard looks. So glad they are coming out with TKL versions of keyboards

[@gaspercarman9149]

When I purchased my MX Keys there was no TKL however now that this one came out which I hoped for a mechanical wireless keyboard for a while didn't really want to replace batteries in G915 I noticed they even made a TKL version of MX Keys which is nice. Just shame it wasn't an option back then so now I'm honestly considering getting this.

[@alexchulzhanov]

This one is 75% layout actually, not TKL. TKL would be considered 80%. Coming from 80% I adjusted pretty quickly and the Mini is definitely one of my favorites out of all the keyboards I've owned. I was going to build my own 60% keyboard (with wireless) but as soon as I saw this new one from Logitech I went for it and it was well worth it. I got the blue switch version and it's still pretty quiet surprisingly, at least compared to my other blue switch keyboards.

[@MnemonicCarrier]

Logitech are knocking it out of the park with their MX series keyboards. I have the MX Keys and MX Keys Mini, love both of them. Unlike the competition, Logitech keyboards don't suffer from connection problems, and they connect really quickly. They also feel fantastic to type on. Unfortunately, can't buy this keyboard in the UK at the moment - it's out of stock.

[@functionallycool]

Just picked one of these up today. I really like how the keys feel compared to the MX Keys I’ve had for years. I put the dongle in my Mac mini and then use Bluetooth 2 and 3 for other devices for work. Absolutely worth the money if you want a good quality keyboard.

[@MnemonicCarrier]

Are you in the UK? Where did you get it from? I'm trying to get a hold of one.

[@ctrlbrwl]

@@MnemonicCarrier Think it doesn't release until July in some markets

[@functionallycool]

@@MnemonicCarrier I'm in the States unfortunately. Picked mine up at Best Buy. You might be able to find one at Currys, Maplin.

[@tonyhawk123]

Do the "wobbly" keys bother you? Tempted, but more than one review mentioned the wobbly keys. It's the kind of thing which might bother me so I'm undecided...

[@吳憲驊-d8k]

I think the Keychron K3 would be a good comparison

[@MotoOMG]

My MX Mecha brown switch just arrived and I like it so much. It's my 1st mecha keyboard and it's true that it boosts my typing speed by 60% compared to my membrane keyboard :D Sleek, comfortable, long battery life (-5% in a week), good build quality, typing speed boost, better connectivity. Is it worth the bucks ? YES Money well spent hahahaha The backlight also turns on if you touch the metal plate, even from the sides :D

[@mukkaar]

Honestly this is what I would get for anyone that isn't into keyboards and is hybrid or productivity user. Overall this + G305 is easy recommend for any kind of person. And personally I think 75% is the best, it's after all basically same as laptop layout so people are used to it. And in my experience f keys are really useful in various software, and just simple F5. Even as gamer it's just useful to have some "extra" keys to possibly macro. Personally I use K2 v2, but I'm used to bit thicker keyboards since I have always had gaming pc. But for people used to laptops (which most people are) or just random keyboards this could be pretty magical experience.

[@igor.lacerda]

This suites your setups very well! Cant wait to review it as well, arrives in brazil by the end of the month yet!! 🤘⚡

[@ThatMarkGilroy]

10 months?!! I struggle to get 10 days battery life out of my Keychron K3 🤯 Lovely review Oliur. And the 50 shades of grey vibe wasn’t lost on me 😉

[@teotlq.maciasbravo5628]

I also have the Keychron K3 and I'm getting 2 weeks of battery life. I imagine you want to buy this one too hahaha this addition to try new keyboards is not good haha

[@anmolagrawal5358]

7:24 Dude, you aren't weird at all. I got my first mechanical keyboard and despite what I read online and surrounded myself with expectations, I couldn't shake the feeling that it was more difficult to type on for me in general. I vastly prefered my laptop (chiclet style) keyboard. I type faster and make much less errors. I think it is really down to the key action and the way it travels. That shallow tactility offered by a scissor switch is unparalleled and I think many writers prefer that too. I've come to realise the reason behind why a mature and well established company such as Logitech went with MX Keys as their de-facto productivity keeb. They nake gaming keebs too so its not like they couldn't make one. Probably did a lot of behind the scenes testing before zeroing in on that. They're just capitalising on the mech resurgence that has emerged recently imo and that's about it.

[@AbernathyCrimson]

Logitech makes some beautiful accessories that would be even more beautiful without their “logi” branding.

[@Thenatalyteran]

They work hard to bring the product to life. They deserve the right to put the logo where they want lol. Crazy

[@AbernathyCrimson]

@@Thenatalyteran I guess. But looks tacky to me. Apple and Satechi doesn’t really do that on accessories.

[@Thenatalyteran]

@@AbernathyCrimson apple has an apple on everything. The Apple Pencil. The apple air tag. Macs

[@AbernathyCrimson]

@@Thenatalyteran It’s done tastefully though. And a word is more noticeable than a tiny logo. Logitech literally has a whole black bar for the word “logi” on a keyboard. The Air Tag is made to be hidden, and it makes sense on the Pencil because Pencils usually have word or logo near the top like a No. 2 pencil.

[@Thenatalyteran]

@@AbernathyCrimson they still put there logo tho .. they should always brand their things

[@LYJManchesterUnited]

What's the differences between this and the white version? Just color or not compatible with windows etc?

[@Leon-cd2jf]

the white version doesn't come with the usb receiver either

[@BDWHitxr6tbXmdxyja7]

Be careful with firmware updates! It can totally brick your Logitech MX Mechanical. My experience with Logitech support has been really bad, it feels almost impossible to get a replacement.

[@theGreta]

Would these firmware updates you refer to be for the keyboard itself or ...your computer? Genuinely considering not getting this if that is a common issue! :(

[@mikef9555]

Never said which board is was showing: clicky, tactile, or linear. It's kind of important

[@tranucmanh9407]

I have both mx key mini and mx master 3s, I don't have any issues when using them, but sometimes it makes me bored, using mechanical keyboards always makes me feel inspired, but anything left, Logitech did it great!

[@SULTANRS]

i just got mine and omg i love it i switched from the steelseries apex pro because i dont really play video games any more and looking for something that will give me convenience while staying mechanical as well i will definetly use it for a long time

[@serdar-ors]

does this mx mech keyboard have disadvantages for gaming ? I want low profile keyboard for gaming

[@gaspercarman9149]

I have to say Logitech really surprised me with this keyboard and can't wait to get my hands on it. The G915 didn't really feel like a good wireless keyboard option since it doesn't have the convenient multi-device support plus the battery replacement is kind of annoying. Next thing I seriously hope they release would be a mechanical Logitech MX Ergo keyboard that can be recharged using cable instead of batteries now that would be a dream come true since I really like split keyboards when trying a lot. Been using Logitech MX lineup for years now despite the pricing. After starting to use MX Master 2S I couldn't really go back to an ordinary mouse just shame it died right after warranty ended ...

[@heisenberg3778]

Which switches are in the mode 65 keyboard in this video?

You said US layout, but it's UK.

[@Oliur]

Wtf you're right. How did I miss that.

[@jankolbe2879]

@@Oliur you‘ve got the US intl. layout which is basically a US ANSI with ISO enter (@ is on Shift+2 eg while both quotation marks are on the same key). This is the layout I got my mx mechanical in as well, love mine with the tactile brown switches. The US intl. layout is my preferred layout for coding btw because of the braces and quotation marks being so easily accessible. It’s a little harder to get here in Germany though

This is something that is need on every single keyboard.

[@Gabdube]

ISO is international. ANSI is U.S.-only (and Taiwan). Logitech needs to get their act together in differentiating the actual layout standards by their proper name, because even in their own store they mix up the pictures of the two layouts and ship layouts depending on destination country rather than region (Like, here in Canada they ship us the U.S. ANSI against federal and provincial regulation even tough half of the country is supposed to use ISO, including all formal government functions, and all schools and universities).

For me, I choose MX mini. I don’t buy with mechanical mambo jambo as the typing is damn loud. I don’t like the loud noise from MX mini mechanical.

[@neovirtuality]

These Logi keyboards have Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) which most other keyboard manufacturers do not offer. For example, Keychron offers BT in some of their keyboards but it's not the Low Energy type, therefore their battery life does not come close to what Logi keyboards offer. The battery life on the MX Mini is indicated to last 5 months with one charge.

[@GetOmerHere]

I fear it might be too loud for work. They already complained about my keychron k2 😢

[@BookClubDisaster]

it's quieter than Keychron.

[@postnick]

To me - Who uses 2/3 computers at a time when working at home. I need the Logtiech Dongle with multi device connection. two of my computers don't have bluetooth, and I also hate bluetooth for keyboards/mice. I have a Unifi dongle in each machine and its the perfect setup for me. The issue now is they switched to Bolt and it's not backwards compatible so I'd also have to get new mice or have two dongles in each computer.
