Product Description
Get more out of your Mac with MX Keys for Mac – designed to work seamlessly on the macOS platform. The most advanced Master Series keyboard ever is finished in Space Gray to team perfectly with your iMac or Macbook Pro. MX Keys for Mac is crafted for efficiency, stability, and precision – and features dynamic backlighting.
MX Keys for Mac features a Mac key layout with spherically-dished keys crafted for the shape of your fingertips. Backlit keys light up the moment your hands approach, automatically adjusting to suit changing lighting conditions.
Your fingers will glide effortlessly across the matte surface of the keys. Increased key stability reduces noise while optimizing responsiveness – and tactile reference for hand positioning makes it easy to stay oriented and in your flow.
MX Keys for Mac follows your Flow-enabled mouse, such as MX Master 3 for Mac, from one Mac to another, meaning you can type on multiple devices in one fluid workflow
A USB-C to USB-C charging cable tops up the power on your MX Keys for Mac – and connects directly to your Mac without the need of a clunky dongle. A full charge lasts up to 10 days – or 5 months with backlighting off. When it’s time to recharge, you’ll get a notification from Logitech Options and the battery indicator LED will glow red. This product is awarded with iF DESIGN AWARD and the RED DOT AWARD.

Fast forward to 2024 and I have to say that I love this MX Keys a lot better than my Apple keyboard. So much so even that when the opportunity came to switch back to MB, I was very happy to find out that Log has Mac versions. Took me about 2 seconds to order this keyboard and matching mouse for my new Mac.
The keys are a little stiffer than the PC one (which I actually like because it feels a little more solid) but it's possible that those loosen up over time. Luckily the Apple BT connectivity is super stable (unlike Windows, BT is so crap that you have to use the universal wireless dongle) so there are no wires or dongles necessary.
It's pricey for sure, but I spend my whole day typing and using the mouse that it's totally worth it to me.
Key backlight is just the right intensity and I love the auto on/off thing. However I wish there was a switch to turn off the key lights totally when not needed, because it would make the battery last that much longer. I charge this 4 or 5 times for every one time I charge the mouse.
Más allá de eso, estoy satisfecho, el teclado está muy bueno.
One of the standout features of this keyboard is its compatibility with Mac devices, including MacBook Pro/Air, iMac, and iPad. The keys are perfectly optimized for the Mac operating system, providing intuitive shortcuts and commands that streamline my workflow. Plus, the inclusion of a free Adobe Creative Cloud subscription is a fantastic bonus for creatives like myself, offering access to a wealth of creative tools and resources.
Overall, I highly recommend the Logitech MX Keys Advanced Wireless Keyboard to any Mac user seeking a stylish, functional, and feature-packed keyboard. It's a game-changer!
What I Love
* Keyboard look and feel. I got the Space Gray which matches my MacBook Pro very well.
* Numeric Keypad. I need this in my daily workflow.
* Backlight. It has one. 'Nuff said.
* Works with Windows. I run Windows from time to time, and this keyboard works well.
What Could Be Improved
* I'd like to see one with a Touch ID interface. Not a dealbreaker for me, though.
* Options for adjusting the keyboard's angle.

update: All kinds of problems - reduced my overall rating to 2. So I've been pairing this keyboard with my MacBook 12" and was hoping to pair it with my Mac mini to give me a working cluster of computers as I switch between them all with my HDMI switch. This keyboard does not pair with my Mac mini mid 2010 and even though I managed to upgrade my Mac OS to Sierra. This keyboard doesn't work with the unifying USB neither and even though I probably could buy the Bolt USB I won't be able to pair it with Bolt because the Bolt software needs at least Catalina to pair and my Mac mini only max updates to Sierra OS. So sad really.... You would think all bluetooth works with ALL Bluetooth.
Original Review:I have been a logitech keyboard users for more than a decade now. For a long time Logitech thought that the K380 was good enough replacement but I hated the chicklet keys. This new MX keys mini is a very good replacement for the K811 keyboard in both the size of the keyboard and the size of the keys. With the ability to connect up to three devices I currently have it connected to my MacBook 12", my iPad pro and my iPhone 8 plus; well not concurrently but selectable and switchable amongst 3 devices. I have the black version forthcoming. Currently this keyboard which is the mac version will be used for my music composition MacBook. The black one which is arriving in November will be used with my everyday Macbook 12" computer and my VR PC. The keys on this MX mini are wonderful as they feel like every logitech keys on every logitech keyboard through every generation. A soft clickable keyboard that doesn't make a lot of noise and has just the right amount of key depth to each click of the keys. I'm a touch typist and I love the feel of this keyboard as the words spills out of my brain and on to the review box without having to look at what I am typing. I will be buying several for back ups as I won't be left high and dry like the K811 and K810 keyboards that were discontinued and replaced by the k380. There is only one problem with this keyboard though and if you look at the back of the keyboard you will notice that it is actually quite thick and that is the battery and component bar that acts as a keyboard riser. So if you have a keyboard drawer that just holds your keyboard, the actual thickness is just a little over 1/2 an inch. Don't let the photographs fool you on a thin keyboard like the K811 but nevertheless it is still quite thin but has a large battery rechargeable bar. My K811 is breaking down, not only the battery doesn't last as long but some keys don't quite respond until you press it two or three times of which it is terrible because you get all these spelling errors when you are a touch typist. Once my mx mini black keyboard arrives, I will be ordering at least two more to keep for the next decade. Trust me that once you become addicted to a logitech keyboard you will never go back to the standard Apple smart keyboard. The ability to connect up to 3 bluetooth devices gives you the luxury of typing on your phone, you iPad and your mac by just a single press of a key. Yay for Logitech!!

I'm very happy with the Logitech MX Keys Mini and don't plan to swap this one out or revert to one of my older keyboards.
Strengths:
> Sturdy and Compact - freeing up desk space
> Easy Set Up via Bluetooth with up to 3 devices (incl. Macs, PCs, IOS, etc.).
> Good Key Travel and spacing leading to greater typing accuracy (even compared to the three Apple Keyboards I use)
> Backlighting that turns on if I hover my fingers/hand over the keyboard
> Better (slightly higher) incline than the keyboard tilt/angle than modern Apple Keyboards
> Good battery life (weeks of heavy use per charge via USB-c cable).
Things I wish it had:
> Adjustable Tilt levels
> Wish I could use the Logitech Options app to change the default backlighting auto-off from 5secs to 15-20secs, knowing that the battery life may be cut in half.
My only real issue: I can only speak to Intel-based iMacs (running Monterey or High Sierra) , but upon a reboot or startup, the MAC OS still needs me to grab a wired keyboard or an Apple KB to login into my account. As soon as this is done, the Logitech Keyboard can be used.
Overall, I've been putting off buying this Mini MX Keyboard. It is a little expensive. At $80-$90, it would be a no-brainer. However, it has all the key things I want and the added typing accuracy causes less frustration and saves time overall. Well worth it! I don't think I'll be looking for another new keyboard to try for the next year or two, likely a newer revision of this same keyboard by Logitech!
What sold me on this was the backlit keyboard, something Magic Keyboard doesn’t have. I need the backlight as I usually use my laptop at night in dim lighting. Unfortunately, it doesn’t stay lit all the time. The backlight turns on when your hands hover over the keys. The response time is pretty quick. And then it turns off after a few seconds of no use.
The keys are really nice. It feels pretty similar and sounds about the same as a macbook keyboard, maybe slightly louder. I don’t notice an advantage or disadvantage to the concave key caps. The silver is ever so slightly darker than my silver MacBook but you wouldn’t notice unless you put them right next to each other and look closely.
The battery life is good so far using it for about one month.
