The backlight does drain the keyboard’s rechargeable battery, lasting only 10 days if you have the backlight on full brightness the whole time. The keyboard has a backlight too, with a sensor that automatically activates the backlight as your hands approach the keyboard, and then turn it off after a few seconds when you move away. Available in a variety of colours, it’s heavier and sturdier than the Magic Keyboard, with firmer keys that feel more responsive when typing. The basic design of the MX Keys Mini is impressive. And, to be honest, Logitech’s years of experience with mice and keyboards really give it the edge.
The latest model in the range is the new MX Keys Mini ( $99.99/ £99.99) and has a compact, low-profile design that clearly pitches it as an alternative to Apple’s own Magic Keyboard.
Logitech’s Craft and Ergo K860 keyboards are both designed for specific types of users, but if you’re just looking for a good general-purpose keyboard then its MX Keys range is hard to beat.
