MX Keys Mini VS MX Mechanical Mini for Programming

[@AivarsMeijers]

Update: The winner of the keyboard is @coffee5592 Luckilly for me he is located close enough to do not spend all my savings on shipping :) Givaway was fun, but I will think twice before will do next one, because scammers in comments become hyperactive. ⚠ Be aware of scammers in DMs and comments. I do not use Telegram on Whatsapp. All my contacts are linked in my profile. I will choose the winner on March 22 and will post it in this pinned comment. Do not pay attention to all those scammers who asking to come over to messangers.

[@nodirbekrasuljonov]

Hi I have one more question Did you replied me

[@AivarsMeijers]

Nope I didn't. I do not see answer or remember answering your comment. Did you see me answering or random user with my profile picture?

[@nodirbekrasuljonov]

Yes of course your profile picture he or she answered me text me on telegram and give me link to contact and your picture. After you publish video about scammer he or she changed yhe profile picture and user name also

[@karimmoustamid1623]

Yeah this scammers are using your profile picture and screenshots from your videos 🫡 .

[@02244]

Hi! Where is the name of winner?

[@bramizzlefundemental]

Got my MX keys mini ordered. Thanks for the solid review!

[@brocode04]

Great videos as usual! Love getting a keyboard as am learning to become a dev! A fan of you! ⌨

[@imethoz]

Good reviews! Just bought mx keys mini today because of a good discount at $50. It's really compact, decent build quality, good battery life, good wireless connections, low profile, easy typing, low noise, and office and travel friendly. Cons is just the ABS key pads. It's gonna be shinning soon. I would recommend to pair with a wireless numpads if needed.

[@allex.crisan]

Always have been fascinated by compact keyboards, both in layout and weight. MX mini looks pretty fun. Thanks for the review!⌨ ⌨ ⌨

[@lsdominguez6201]

Thanks for the reviewing of these two mini-keys. This review is one of the best that I found on KZbin. I think that you should continue reviewing tech gears👏👏👏👏

[@hacorus]

I have the large ⌨️ MX Keys and love it, thinking about getting the linear mechanical version after seeing your review

[@RoyHuang1]

Excellent review and comparison! Thanks.⌨

[@AivarsMeijers]

Thanks for watching!

[@СаняМясоедов-ь2э]

After watching this video, now I will notice the difference more often))

[@ismayilovmurad]

Love the quality of ur contents, great video as always ⌨

[@mustafanazari7858]

Slick design ⌨ Would be a great match for my MX Master 3s :) Good job on the comparison :)

[@RosarioGrosso]

Great comparison. I've played in shop with both of them and still undecided to what to get. I like the mx mechanical but I prefer more the feeling of the "linear" mx and to my understanding the only option you have in uk for the mx mechanical is tactile. ⌨ ⌨ ⌨⌨ ⌨ ⌨ ⌨ ⌨ ⌨

[@frkx235]

I was thinking which one should i buy and you helped a lot thanks

[@ozanbilgili]

awesome video awesome comparison from perspective of developer, as a developer who loves logitech really want to experience new logitech keyboards

[@1897MadeIn]

⌨️ this comparison will help so many people that are in dilemma between both. Thanks for video!

[@kristapsbarons]

Great comparison. Currently looking for a keyboard for my Mac, using Anne pro 2 now which is nice mechanical keyboard but not really great with Mac and not very light for always taking to the office when not working from home ⌨️

[@valeron_1337]

Don't you think that the MX Keys Mini has too much distance between the keys? It's like you have to stretch your fingers when typing with all 10 fingers. Have you noticed any finger pain after using it for a long time? ⌨

[@AivarsMeijers]

Nope, I do not feel that at all, but I have relatively big hands.

[@diogofonte5824]

Thank you for the video! I asked you in other comment which one is better and it help me choose. I just have a problem with the available layouts, because I use PT-PT layout. This mx keys mini in white is beautiful!! ⌨⌨

[@paxanellie]

Great comparision, keep doing stuf like this👍

[@electricityofmind6300]

the lack of INSERT button kills me :( can't shift-insert in linux 😢😢😢

[@janisb.8720]

Tnx for review.⌨ Vas looking for such a compact keyboard.

[@ShervinKoushan]

Awesome video ⌨️ Great content as always!

[@alexandruiliescu7146]

⌨️ I'm machine learning engineer. I think this keyboard will match perfectly into my set up. Great work Aivars.

[@matipro11]

I was thinking of trying digital nomad's life. Already got portable screen and mx keys would be helpful! ⌨

[@NHikmetK]

can you set backlight as always on ? on mechanical because it sucks on mx keys mini it is really unconfortable since l bought thıs keyboard l m not buying anything from logitech

[@michal_codes]

Great comparison and review. I'd like to see more of this type of content for sure.⌨

[@AivarsMeijers]

Thanks! Will do!

[@christoskatsenos13]

I would definitely go for the mx keys instead of the mechanical one. For some reason mechanical keyboards is not for me. ⌨

[@AivarsMeijers]

Yep, that's very subjective choice.

[@ml210993]

⌨Thanks for the content!

[@tahsiny.9273]

⌨ Great content, thank you very much!

[@nikitavolkodav6415]

Hi Aivars, I very want to try use mechanical mini for programming iOS!!!

[@denyskharyna]

Thank you so much for your videos! You inspire me) ⌨

[@killinginside7601]

⌨️ gears reviews are really appreciated! I do like you, shears your opinion on hardware. Waited this video very eagerly! Thank you!

[@premiumdeveloper]

❤️Love your desk setup ⌨️⌨️⌨️

[@webloom7345]

Very nice video and comparison

[@jommartinez_]

⌨ Great content Aivars ! Keep up the good work!

[@EzDav1d]

Great video! But I have a question: Is the MX mechanical mini quiet enough to use it in public? (study room, train, coffee shop) or ist it too loud to work with other people around?

[@AivarsMeijers]

That’s subjective, but I would say yes. Blue switches may be louder, didn’t try them, but brown are good.

[@EzDav1d]

@@AivarsMeijers thank you very much! I often hear that the keyboard is still too loud but in my opinion it would be quiet enough to use it in school ir public places.

[@rohithgoud30]

I love the MX Mechanical keyboard for its full-size layout and satisfying typing experience, especially with the customizable RGB illumination. The MX Keys tiny is also a great option for on-the-go work with its portability and productivity features. Your review was truly honest and on point - thank you for sharing your insights about these amazing keyboards! ⌨

[@oliverloops.]

Pretty fan of this comparison ⌨️

[@ZhenKevin]

mx key mini (non mech) has ghosting rollover , even with basics like shift+ w+ a+ g, g wont work and shift+A+G wont even work for g

[@EduardoYubero]

⌨️ your channel is of great inspiration. It's not the money but the excitement of ownership. Thanks for your content.

[@DevPatel-mr3kv]

⌨️ Was recently looking at buying this keyboard. Would go great with my uni setup.

[@jacquesduplessis6175]

Actually a pretty insightful review, I've been considering both. ⌨⌨

[@landrover827]

Where can I find you schedule for streaming? I’ve noticed your streaming on KZbin and twitch, but unsure when to watch! I’ve got notifications on for both. If possible, I’d like to know in advance 😂

[@AivarsMeijers]

I'm trying to stick with the Wednesday night stream on KZbin at 10PM Riga time. Twitch is completely random; sorry about that.

[@landrover827]

@@AivarsMeijers understood! I was wondering if you switched to a new platform and I missed the memo! 😂

[@kh5322]

I need the mechanical switches because of the CLICKITY CLACK ⌨️

[@ThomasVanhelden]

How does a mouse like that handle the MacOS gestures?

[@AivarsMeijers]

It dosen't

[@ThomasVanhelden]

@@AivarsMeijers Aren't you then losing out on a lot of functionality that makes MacOS great?

[@AivarsMeijers]

@@ThomasVanhelden I have MBP opened next to me, and swipe on that if need, but I rarely use those gestures

[@ThomasVanhelden]

@@AivarsMeijers Fair enough. Don't get me wrong; I love your videos. Using a mouse on a Mac still seems weird to me, as I use these gestures constantly. To me, they are a very large part of what makes MacOS great.

[@germangarciafernandez]

Great review...I chose mechanical too. Regards from Colombia ⌨⌨⌨⌨⌨⌨

[@cdlikecdrom]

How is your mouse going on? I have got the white but it is already getting yellow after 20 days, is yours getting stained too?

[@AivarsMeijers]

My mouse is about 6 months old, maybe a bit more, and it is not looking good at all. White keyboards are fine, mouse is not :(

[@cdlikecdrom]

@@AivarsMeijers I am thinking about dismantling it and painting the top with an anti-stain white spray, not sure whether it is worth it though

[@AivarsMeijers]

@@cdlikecdrom I'm mostly using MX vertical and switching to white MX Master for video editing only. So, I just clean it as much I can and that is it

[@sergpryimachuk]

I have the black mini and planning to buy the white ⌨for my sister, so I'm in 🔥 p.s. Sent your videos in my friends chat, they're in IT too, so conversion should be better👍

[@arunsrinivasiyengar2759]

Liked your video. Looking forward for the ⌨️. Thanks.

[@juliencholin4568]

Very interesting to have this kind of videos, in addition to the content that you usually offer. In any case, the content is always great. Thanks for that. And it's really nice that you want to give away the keyboard. ⌨ Cheers

[@Moe32244]

I personally prefer the mx mini, great video as usual! ⌨️

[@helmKK]

⌨️ would be great to write code with this one

[@mattsirokov470]

⌨ Great content as always! Keep up the good work!🔥

[@rogowskibart]

⌨️ Great video. I love that this keyboard supports multiple device connections.

[@sammygun84]

I believe mx mechanical is a great choice!!!! Thanks for the video it was were interesting!:)

[@maximbrykov]

The white one looks more accurate. Do they have Mac-specific keys out of the box, or are they stickers?" ⌨🔥

[@AivarsMeijers]

I have mac version, so that's out of the box look

[@sezo3820]

⌨️ I’m glad you give away the one i prefer hahaha. Btw your reviews are great

[@av4921]

Hi.. can you send it to the Himalayas.. i live in the foothills... ?

[@AivarsMeijers]

It is already sent to Sweden

[@keenb641]

⌨️ wooo, I think you should do more gear reviews. Especially comparative one's, as they are really useful!

[@redaskriksciukaitis9199]

⌨ I like your gear reviews, especially mouse and keyboard ones.

[@AivarsMeijers]

Thanks! 👍

[@Aentesal]

A great comparison, one of the two most curious keyboards in its sector. I would really like to see more videos like this. The lighter one would be better for someone like me who always carries a powerbank, I hope I win hehe. ⌨

[@02244]

Best quality of videos and always motivational! Want your keyboard! ⌨⌨⌨🔥

[@alin.cht.]

I have just bought a mx mouse, it’s feeling lonely without a keyboard. Xcode will definitely be faster with a keyboard ⌨️

[@ivanzamut]

⌨️ Nice video. Nice keyboard. Is that filmed on Sony camera already?

[@AivarsMeijers]

I used Sony for head shot, Canon for side shot on keyboards and iPhone for top down angle.

[@berkiyo]

⌨ What a coincidence! I have been eyeing the MX Keys Mini in white for a long time now so this video is perfectly timed! I currently have the full-size version but I would love to have the smaller one due to it being more ergonomic -- and white looks cool! Good luck to all in the giveaway! PS: I think you should do hardware reviews more often, it's great to hear from the perspective of fellow iOS/Apple programmers! 🙂

[@AivarsMeijers]

Thanks Berk! Good to hear feedback on hardware videos.

[@ukaszstrzelczyk2409]

New desk setup with different keyboards each week 😅 ⌨️

[@camiloandresibarrayepes3803]

⌨ mx mini looks awesome, great video!

[@ManojAP]

I think Mx mechanical is not good hard coders. Thanks for your review

[@AivarsMeijers]

Every keyboard choice is subjective. Sure, you can get the work done using a $10 keyboard as well. When you get in the $100+ price segment, that's more about whether you like it or not. Most of the keyboards after that price are good.

I already have a great mechanical keyboard, so I don’t need this. I’m participating just for fun. If I get picked I will pass it to someone else. 😁 ⌨️

[@t0dd000]

Logitech Flow. Linux (many many developers (and a lot of others)) ... is not supported. Just need to throw that out there for the developer community. Maybe more precisely: Windows and Mac are the only OSes supported, it seems. So no Android, iOS, ChromeOS, nor Linux. ⌨️

[@AivarsMeijers]

Check out open source alternative to Flow: github.com/debauchee/barrier sure will not work on mobile, but cowers win, mac, linux for any keyboard and mouse combo

Wrist rest. Eventually, as the years progress ... you will need one. :) ⌨️
