With a name like MX Keys, you'd expect the keys on this particular peripheral to be special. Thanks to a USB-C port, the battery recharges pretty quickly, and because a keyboard is a stationary device, it's not much of a hassle. I used the MX Keys pretty heavily for about a week and drained the battery a little more than halfway, so the lighting-on estimate, at least, seems accurate. Then there's the battery life, which is 10 days with the lighting on or up to five months with the lighting off, according to Logitech. MORE: Best Gaming Keyboards - Mechanical, Wireless & RGB. I would have loved a way to make them a little dimmer without manually adjusting them each time. For example, in a dark room, the lights get very bright. In my experience, the lights adjusted appropriately for each setting, but I still wish there were a way to tweak some of these options. In a brightly lit room, the lights turn off entirely in a totally dark room, they crank up all the way. The MX Keys, on the other hand, uses sensors to automatically adjust the lighting. While it's not uncommon for high-end productivity keyboards to offer lighting, it's usually just a simple on-or-off option. The lighting is one of the more interesting things about the MX Keys. There are three big features of the MX Keys that are worth discussing: the software, the lighting and the battery life. Logitech MX Keys software, lighting and battery life I get that this is simply due to how keyboard spacing shakes out, but it's a little obnoxious if you've assigned F12 to another function and you need to change the volume on the fly. My only gripe here is minor: The "volume up" key is stand-alone, and you can use it at any time, while the "volume down" key is an alternate function for the F12 key. There are also alternate features for most of the Function keys, including screen brightness and media keys. MORE: Logitech K250 Wireless Keyboard - 4 New Keyboards, Tested
Pairing with new systems is simple and painless. This is helpful, as you can hook up the MX Keys to a desktop, laptop and mobile phone simultaneously, and then move from one system to the next with the press of a button.
But it's odd that such an expensive keyboard doesn't offer the option.īeyond that, the MX Keys has all the standard keys, labeled for both Windows and Mac systems, as well as a few extra keys for launching the calculator, plus switching among three different systems. Admittedly, this is helpful for touch typists, like myself, and I don't know too many people who use stand-alone keyboards in flat configurations.
Whereas most keyboards have optional feet that you can flip up, the MX Keys is always tilted down at a slight angle. One unusual feature of the keyboard is its tilt.
