My MX Keys Wireless Illuminated Keyboard keys are now so worn down after, two years of use, that I am wondering if the MX mechanical keys are stronger and will last longer.

[@colinkilday]

That’s a bit worrying if it’s worn down after two years. Having only had both of them for a short amount of time I can’t really comment on how much they wear down. However, if I’m choosing to use one of them I always default to the MX keys and if I want to use a mechanical keyboard I usually default to one of my Keychron keyboards.

[@rwang3550]

Mine has the same issue......

Where you got that desk mat from? In your newer video is a different one.

[@colinkilday]

I got the desk mat from Oakywood

[@markschulmanfan994]

Can you game on the MX Keys S? I love low profile Keyboards as im used to apple products, but i want to game with it. Would that be possibile?

[@colinkilday]

It wouldn’t be my first choice keyboard for gaming but there would be nothing stopping you using it as a gaming keyboard

[@markschulmanfan994]

what would be your first Choice? Can you recommend something low profile, which is fairly quiet too?

[@colinkilday]

@@markschulmanfan994 If you want a low profile gaming keyboard then Logitech have the Logitech G915 amzn.to/3QUSiGT or if you just want a regular low-profile keyboard I have a quite a few Keychron keyboards amzn.to/49QXS5I

[@mark1902]

@@markschulmanfan994 i use my MX Keys for gaming since two years now and i cant complain. I play high ranked league of legends and also FPS games. You can easily game with it

[@vqa33]

I’m purchasing this keyboard specifically for gaming and working to switch between pc and mac. It’s the best gaming keyboard since it’s convenient to use due to low profile.

[@GaryFerrao]

4:07 just a nit-pick, but you shouldn't compare the weight to the Keychron K1 Pro because it doesn't have the numpad.

[@GaryFerrao]

just found out. the full size K5 Pro weighs 720 g according to their website.

[@colinkilday]

You're right, I think I just used it as a reference point because it's a keyboard I use quite a lot

[@pehenry]

Backlight cannot be set to stay on 100% of the time. Deal breaker.

[@colinkilday]

I don’t mind it so much because so long as you’re using the keyboard the backlighting stays on

[@vqa33]

I don’t want at keyboard when typing so no deal breaker to me.
