The MX Mechanical Mini is somewhat similar to my Keychron K3. Low profile boards are somewhat weird IMO. They can be quite lovely to type on as I like using a lighter touch than a traditional mechanical board, and it's more tactile/satisfying than a membrane or rubber dome board. But sometimes my fingers get tired of it (I have blue/clicky switches). It's almost like sometimes when they get tired, they become not fine-tuned enough to keep that light touch while overcoming the tactile bump, and I start bottoming out too harshly, which isn't very nice... This is why you should be wary of getting the blues switches (which I have). They are satisying to use when you master it, but they are quite a challenge to adapt to, and not the best for endurance.

[@mike_nba]

Ima get the clicky version too

[@GranTigerGaming]

Yeah clicky feels best but can be exhausting in long sessions, both in feel and sound.

[@pedrojorge2741]

I have the Kychron K3 with brown tactile switches and love it! I think the color scheme of the MX Mechanical Mini may be a little bit TOO similiar to the K3, if you know what I mean... All my other peripherals are from logitech (G305 mouse and G Pro X headset), but I think I'm gonna stick with the K3, as it is a little bit more sleek and a lot cheaper.

[@mike_nba]

@@pedrojorge2741 i have tried the keychron low profile and the keycaps feel a bit mushy. they kinda womble compared to logitechs who feels more sturdy and typing feels more direct.

[@jgm113]

I had a k1 with clicky switches. It was cool for like 2 days then incredibly irritating. I pretty much only do tactile keys now.

[@THZX-qk9fc]

Hey Chau, just wondering is the rubber used similar to the 3? I absolutely hate the rubber they used on the 3 cuz of how quick it wore down.

[@THZX-qk9fc]

In case anyone was still wondering, the rubber they used on the 3s seem to be the same as the one on the 3 according to another reviewer. So looks like we're SOL on the material quality.

[@TexasFinest_Collectibles]

Nice review, just picked up the Keychron mechanical keyboard and love it. May have to pick this up for my work office.

[@nissan_skyline]

I'm so excited for mine to arrive in the mail. Can't waitttttt.

[@__improwise__]

Thanks for a nice review. Are the keys more stable than on the G915 which is quite wobbly? Seems like secondary keys are now lit unlike G915?

[@YSColin]

Just got the keyboard, definitely less wobbly than the G915.

[@jimisweetnyc]

First, always point the blade away from you. Second, you are beautiful. Third, apparently this video is about a keyboard. I had no idea.

[@briabytes]

I haven’t finished the video yet, but preach. I will never go back to another keyboard or mouse without a fight.

[@Blashyrkh666Raven]

I just bought the MX master 3s! Clicks are so sileeeeeenttttt! I also bought a Blue MX Mechanical keyboard, clicks are so si.....oh well, ok......but I have a more silent mouse click!! They should be totally @#@**# In Logitech to make as a selling advertisement a awfully mushy buttons on a mouse just to have them silent, when you also sell Mechanical keyboards that are NOT silent, even the linear ones when you bottom down. Honestly I would never suggest the upgrade to the MX 3s if you have the 3. Mouse click is s**t, and the upgraded resolution is not worth the double price.

[@RVDL]

Thanks for this review! Can I ask what screen you are using and which monitor arm you picked to go with that?

[@GranTigerGaming]

This kb looks great! While I generally prefer mechanical keys, especially blue clicky style, I've grown fond of how quiet butterfly switches are. Really happy with the non mechanical mx mini, it's responsive enough to feel almost like a brown tactile switch but with more of a thump feel/sound rather than tap.

[@Noah-zs9wt]

Can the keyboard lights be left on, or do they only turn on when you bring you hands nears the keyboard?

[@nashwins]

They can be left on but I notice mine dim after a short while. Haven’t figured out how to stop them dimming so may not be able to have the lights on 24/7.

[@heitorazevedo3239]

Chau I really like your videos! I really … really want know about what you think of the wordpress and builder etc You use it to help develop or just coding and what you think about wix, wordpress and regular conding? Still works learning web development? Also i want know about roadmap updated how start and etc! To more video about it pleaseeee! thanks 🙏

[@scoty_does]

Bolt and unifying aren't compatible right?

[@WhiteSoxxx]

mx 3s is quiet for instances where you're in an office setting and you don't want to be clicking around loudly.... right next to your mx mechanical keyboard? 🤯

[@djmeri00]

Is the wheel still broken and can't handle fast non-continous movements or fast direction changes as on the previous mouse?

[@jamescoleman3103]

Never had this problem….

[@jd2161]

@@jamescoleman3103 sounds like he's a mad scroller

[@ChelsieNotChelsea]

Hey, is the thumb click on the MX 3S anything like the thumb click on the 2S? The thumb click on the 3 feels way more stiff and I have to put more pressure for it to click which isn’t very ergonomic ☹️

[@ErnestoMorin]

They need to update the ergo keyboard with these keys and backlit. That would be awesome!

[@rtst_dj]

Best productivity mouse of all time. Might wait for the next iteration as I love my 3, but tempted to get one for my office. Might have to cop the keyboard though.

[@saaf9518]

Hi Chau, does the 3s have the annoying noise when the scrolling wheel stops in ratchet mode and smartshift activated like on the 3 ?

[@nobeerlion3991]

fantastic keyboard. for the mouse I would rather go with the m650L since it is less junky

[@eltoncheung8163]

Are the stabilizers on the mini normal? Like can I put another keycap set on them?

[@justinbchau]

Any LP keycaps should fit since they use the standard cherry mx stems!

[@fullnoscope1326]

can it be used via cable, or only wireless (bt or logi-bolt)?

[@justinbchau]

yes it can be used by hardwiring as well

[@fullnoscope1326]

@@justinbchau thanks for the info, was wondering because afaik the MX Keys cannot be used via wire, that is only for charging...

[@aristobule]

@@fullnoscope1326 He is lying, in the Logitech FAQ they say that USB-C is only for charging and don't transfer any data like the previous one.

[@fullnoscope1326]

@@aristobule amazing... honestly, these youtubers

[@TheWickedOne5150]

So nice click keyboard but you want a quite mouse. 🤔. Up grades from MX 3 not worth the $100. The sensor settings are a nice upgrade but not needed for me. Once my MX 3 dies I’ll go for it if a newer one isn’t available by then. But thanks for the review.

[@jphilfiker]

Did they make it so you can switch between devices without having to flip mouse over to do it. Its pretty much useless functionality without being able to map to a button or have it on top.

[@CerebroJD]

If you're using Flow, the mouse just moves between devices and your keyboard inputs on the device where the mouse is, I believe

[@jphilfiker]

@@CerebroJD It doesn't work if you're working on company laptop. They won't let you install it. I probably have to switch between 3 devices 40x a day and have to turn over mouse. Should be an easier way to do it without having to install software.

[@jd2161]

Lmao. Pretty much useless? Wow. I can't believe people walk around this stup*d. "OH my God! Not a half second to turn the mouse upside down! Useless! Throw it away and go back to manually switching like most other mice. It's faster!" Don't cross roads without an adult

[@unskeptable]

This or mx non-mechanical better ?

[@GranTigerGaming]

They are extremely similar, Non mechanical is $50 cheaper and... Non-mechanical is great but uses butterfly switches so less clicky, more silent, has less lighting options, no inclines on the back, and is missing full size arrow keys and the home row keys on the right... Last difference is it works with a bolt receiver but doesn't come with one. All that said I'm probably keeping the non mechanical I just got, it's a little more portable, cheaper, my ONLY complaint is the arrow keys, otherwise I love it.

[@TwskiTV]

nice review!

[@michaelyang838]

Hey, I have one quick question. Are the F1-10 keys default, or are the "shortcuts" default? This is crucial because my work laptop cannot install software and FN keys for those key functionalities is a definitive no for me.

[@amyyyyy24]

I believe you can change the default state of the function row right on the keyboard without software, you press FN + ESC (it should have a small lock icon on the escape key). At least that’s how my MX Keys works.

[@michaelyang838]

@@amyyyyy24 fantastic thanks!

[@GranTigerGaming]

Yup fn+esc swaps them, I can confirm first hand.

[@justinbchau]

This can also be done in the Logi+ settings!

Why smack the shit out of the old mouse to demonstrate the click noise and gently press the new mouse? Not a great comparison for that

Why can't they make the bolt usb receivers to type C. Macbook's don't even have type A slot now. Feels quite odd, not having type C on modern products. Good Review though.

[@randybaguinon]

Logitech K855 -- better keyboard.

[@HeyJoe89]

wow, that one is perfectly layout. But only released in china? Since it´s much cheaper than mx series on the chinese logitech site I think it will be much more lighter without aluminum, backlight, cheap keycaps and switches? Are there switch options, are there videos?

[@len0xx963]

The mouse is looking really bad. And I don’t understand the idea of being “super productive”. This is a regular mouse that does nothing to your productivity

[@djmeri00]

For me it looks quite nice, but I agree that it's as productive as other mice, nothing special.

[@CerebroJD]

Disagree - you can map any of the extra buttons as a gesture button, with commands assigned to each direction of motion when pressing that button. If you do a lot in Excel or Outlook, or any image editing software, you can map a ton of shortcuts for incredibly easy access. There's even application-specific options, which is especially awesome in Excel (for me) with non-native commands like Paste Values built right into Options. There's no keyboard command for that in Excel, so that in itself is a huge timesaver.

[@jamescoleman3103]

This mouse is so ergonomic it saved my hands from carpal tunnel!!!

[@mike_nba]

You can copy paste stuff from one device to another

[@bekchanovj]

you also have two scroll wheels and and an "infinite scroll", that's what I use a lot
