Logitech MX Mechanical Mini Keyboard for Macs - Honest Review

[@kofferraum]

It's only called "for Macs" because of the key caps showing mac icons only. It does very well work with other non-Apple Bluetooth devices.

[@chinchillin6280]

I was pondering on this question for so long!! Thanks for the intel!

[@Zai11]

So you can use with windows?

[@ShadowRegis]

@@Zai11yes you can however Mac version lacks usb unifier which is faster than Bluetooth connection and you can connect mouse to it as well. But apart of that it’s the same keyboard as regular pc version

[@breakinggood-r2v]

same thing goes with mouse too

[@marclattoni1959]

Thanks!

[@ashcross]

I shared your journey with this. Started with Magic Keyboard, went to Keychron K2, really enjoyed mechanical typing but yes the keys are too big for me for all-day typing and I do mistype a fair amount. I receive my Logitech MX tomorrow. Can't wait to try it out. I think I'll prefer the lower profile. Thanks for the informative review!

[@jerrymoreno1714]

Looks like another great option for iPad without having to use either the folio or Magic Keyboard.

[@NathanLemoine]

It would be perfect for the iPad!

[@Egeuysall]

I just bought it. Thank you for the assistance ❤

[@Motawa88]

I hate that it doesn't have the same function key mapping as apple keyboard. I know you can remap but the visuals matter too

[@nadunindunil8255]

Same, I dont get the idea why they can't make a keyboard with the same keymap.

[@GigiDeRio]

Super helpful! Getting mine tomorrow Thanks for the review

[@hummingpylon]

Do you miss touch ID ?

[@technocatdance]

apple magic keyboard is the one that sold as its own separate item what does typing on your laptop have to do with that? It sounds and different because it is not attached to a laptop body

[@angelogiannis]

I love the keybaord and how it feels when typing; the issue I'm having however is that I can't see a way to control the Apple Studio display brightness? Anyone have a solution to that? Thanks!

[@Soccerkid-m9p]

Does the light grey of the keyboard match the light grey of regular “non-space grey” Apple Macs? Or is it something different?

[@MickJacobs-s9t]

Sweet review! Wallpaper link?

[@dembalachannel]

Hey Guys, i was wondering, i've seen two variants of this "for Mac" keyboard on pictures: one that has scripted keycaps (Shift, Caps, Tab) and one that has only signs of this words (arrows and signs). For the Mac i believe the second is the better with the signs instead of scripts, it looks cooler. How do you know which one the dealer gives you? Any clear indication from product code? The pictures of the product on webshops is obviously not accurate most of the time. Thanks ! Another remark: Now with Home and End keys on this keyboard, does it bring the cursor to the beginning of the line if you edit text (/end of line for end button) or it scrolls up to first page in this case? They moved the FN button on the right side, and as a mac user i know, that FN is an essential piece of key on TKL keyboards. On the Apple full size keyboard, the Home key doesn't bring the cursor to the beginning of the line unfortunately, so you need to use the FN there as well. Having now the FN key on the right side next to the arrow keys, it would be really awkward to have the need to use it all the time for cursor positioning...

[@DisobeyZOG]

Are you able to change the keys out for custom ones ?

[@polefriendster]

Hi, is this switch kinda like brown switch for the non-mac version?

[@dariussilber1128]

Thanks mate. I needed this Video

[@NathanLemoine]

My pleasure! 😌

[@Sherjenn]

Awesome video! Just a question, do the keyboard keys or backlit lighting gets laggy (slow response) sometimes? Thanks! :)

[@paulguy2545]

This keyboard is on my list of things to upgrade to, not only for my current Mac (which is the 2013 ‘Trashcan’), but a new Mac next year (hopefully). I would prefer a keyboard like this with a Shorter key-travel or less pressure because I’ve found that with Apple’s Older Mechanical Keyboards I’ve missed hitting the keys properly too! I already have the Logitech MS3 for Mac on its way to me (from a seller on eBay) so I’m very much looking forward to receiving that because I’ve heard a lot of good things about it!

[@kdietz65]

Good video, but I chucked at "right up there with the Apple Magic Keyboard". Not exactly setting a high bar, is it?

[@chloeim99]

Do you know how I can split my screen on this keyboard? The original keyboard that came with my iMac has the screen split key, but I don't see one on this keyboard.

[@WeirddoughRue]

I just bought this keyboard today. It sounds so nice and is very easy to use!

[@NathanLemoine]

You’re going to love it 😊

[@sk4tec]

I use this with a Keychron Solid k3 Wrist rest. It's a perfect fit for this board. Espcially if your used to a flat MX Key or Apple Magic height

[@NathanLemoine]

I’ll have to check that out! Thank you for letting me know! 😊

[@frankspark]

Overall I like the keyboard but can’t get used to the arrow key locations.

[@WilliamCSalt]

Do you use this keyboard or the k2 for daily use?

[@NathanLemoine]

I use this one every day! I enjoy the typing experience wayyyyyy more than the K2!

[@PauloParreira]

I'd love if Logitech made a white mechanical full number pad with Portuguese layout for Mac. Still hoping.

[@sbutler888]

Great review! I'm on the market for a Mac keyboard and needed this video. For your custom key, try 3m FUN-TAK. It's like silly putty. I use it to put photos on my office wall. It's removable and doesn't leave any marks and it should be good enough to use for your custom key.

[@azclaimjumper]

Finally, a mechanical keyboard that more closely feels like the keyboards on manual typewriters that I learned on a 1/2 century ago. I'm going to have to buy a cable, MaleUSB-c on one end & a Male USB-A on the other end because I don't have anything else with USB-c ports. Yes, I just subscribed, rang the notification bell, & "liked". Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

[@NathanLemoine]

Thank you so much! I hope the video helped you out! Shoutout Nevada :)

[@chinchillin6280]

Hello! Can you use this keyboard for PC use too??

[@morten1]

You can, but they keys are mapped and labeled for mac, but it will kinda work

[@aurelianvoicu6413]

How are the keycaps in terms of showing finger prints? Are they shiny like the space grey version?

[@NathanLemoine]

I would say they definitely have a more matte coat on them and don't show fingerprints in most lighting situations. Obviously if you use this with super greasy hands then they'll show, but at a slight angle I can see a few fingerprints but they easily wipe off!

[@se7enity648]

Logitech need to produce different coloured keys so the user can personalise their keyboard. Having the ability to use other manufacturers keys would also be nice

[@NathanLemoine]

That would be so dope of them!!!

[@chunkemonke398]

I returned it. The first three function keys are wasted for a feature I’ll never use. They could have added those quick switch buttons somewhere else.

[@alessandrobarretto]

did you find a good place to buy custom keycaps? for this mx mechanical.

[@DisobeyZOG]

Did you find any?

[@cdlikecdrom]

I can see the video is 2 months old, is the keyboard yellowing? I got the mouse and it is already starting to become yellow, not sure whether the keyboard will be too

[@NathanLemoine]

Same here, my MX master mouse has also yellowed, but the keyboard is looking great still! Because it's plastic and not the alcantara material on the mouse, it doesn't yellow and any finger prints on it are easily wiped off :)

[@domf7705]

Love the intro song...been searching high and low on epidemic and still can't find :_(

[@NathanLemoine]

It's such a great song! It'c called In My Bed by Pure Indigo. But for this video I actually took the start of the song and matched up the beat to the very end of the song. So what you hear in this video isn't exactly how its played in the song but the song is still really good :)

[@critiquetest2594]

I’m considering this or iqunix OG 80 wormhole keyboard and struggling to decide. I just use for all day typing , but like you have multiple Apple devices in ecosystem.

[@TheHackingZombies]

That goes unreasonably hard

[@NathanLemoine]

only the hardest 😏

[@johnosam4681]

if only they made this for both Mac and windows like keychron

[@merlinsrobe4621]

It’s such a shame that you have to forsake fingerprint ID if you want to use this for your Mac.

[@Panslapper]

This keyboard honestly can't be any worse than the often over hyped Apple keyboards. I think Keyboards are Apples weakest link in everything other than an on screen version in IOS! Take any second gen keyboard for Mac mini or iMac for example, the keys are terrible, to shallow, wear very easily and stiffen up way to early. Apples A1314 model pryor to the later versions is actually superior in almost every way compared to the following versions. Apple really dropped the ball on going thin. The A1314 (2009) has deeper keys, stronger key build quality, 100 times better typing experience than the boards that followed through Apples system. The Trackpad 2 also really sucks compared to even a cheap Microsoft mouse. The Trackpad 1 and 2 are slow and very clumsy by comparison and are totally useless at fine adjustment, say on software EQing for example or any software that may require fine adjustment.

[@PandorasCrate0]

They keyboard isn't the reason you're mistyping. It's technique.

[@daau]

Slick intro

[@Soloohara]

perfect video

[@adamblakemore4630]

Steezy intro

[@NathanLemoine]

Ultimate steeze😮‍💨

[@youclement8124]

I don’t understand that hype around this mechanical keyboard. this keyboard is so bad, so cheap for the price... when typing on it it sounds so "plastic"… I prefer so much the mx Keys which makes it really premium and has much better typing comfort 😕

[@DisobeyZOG]

Cry

[@jahy-k4464]

nice appa figure!

[@NathanLemoine]

Thank you! 🥰

[@SomeRandomCanuck]

Imagine comparing a high profile to a low profile keyboard unironically lol. What a joke of a reviewer getting excited by an emoji button.

[@NathanLemoine]

You a Canuck’s fan? Tough, couldn’t be me. Go B’s!!!! 🐻

[@hopeless1282]

What about the complete absence of Mission Control, Launchpad and screen brightness keys? But thank for it’s got a dictation and emoji key… 🫠
