⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) – Compact, Stylish, and Ultra-Comfortable!The Logitech MX Keys Mini is hands down the best compact keyboard I’ve used! The backlit keys feel incredibly smooth, offering a premium typing experience. It’s lightweight, well-built, and connects seamlessly across multiple devices. Battery life is impressive, and the smart illumination is a great touch. Perfect for productivity and minimal desk setups. Highly recommended!

I can honestly say, that the Logitech MX Keys Mini Keyboard is the best keyboard I’ve ever owned. The keys cup my fingers perfectly and they’re very responsive, making touch-typing smooth, fast, and easy.The keyboard has a decent heft to it, but in my opinion, it’s not unreasonably heavy. The soft rubber anti-slip pads on the bottom of the keyboard keep it in place, even on a slippery surface.The adjustable strength keyboard backlighting is a nice feature, and it can be turned off via the function “Fn” keys, if/when backlighting is not needed.The first three function “Fn” keys permit instant switching between devices, i.e. cellphones, pads, and PC’s. Programming them is easy and fast.Hint 1: Use the included Logitech Quick Start MX Keys card that contains the QR code to access the online startup instructions and register the keyboard.Hint 2: To set the keyboard into Bluetooth connectivity mode, turn the keyboard on, press and hold the F1 key for about three seconds until it begins to flash. A six-digit number will appear on the device you’re pairing with, along with instructions to type that number on the keyboard. After entering the six-digit number, press the Enter key, and the keyboard is now successfully paired with your device.Hint 3: If the dedicated emoji (F7) key doesn’t work with your device, here’s a workaround that will allow you to access the emoji menu: Press and hold the Control (ctrl) key and the Space(bar). When the menu appears, keep holding the Control key while tapping the Space(bar) to scroll through the menu items.If you’re using this keyboard on a Windows OS, or a Mac OS, you can download free software called Options or Options +, via Logitech’s website. The software is optional. Since I’m using the keyboard with my iPhone 14 Pro Max, and my iPad, I’m unable to download the Logitech software, thus I’m unable to review it.I have experienced three minor issues: (1) When registering my keyboard, it took several attempts before Logitect’s site accepted the registration; (2) The dedicated emoji (F7) key doesn’t work on my iPhone, but it works perfectly on my iPad; (3) There’s an online only user manual.I contacted Logitech’s technicians, both via chat and via phone, and found them excellent to work with.

I recently purchased the Logitech MX Keys Mini Minimalist Wireless Illuminated Keyboard, and it has been a fantastic addition to my workspace. The compact design is perfect for my desk, saving space while still providing a comfortable typing experience. The backlit keys are a great feature, making it easy to type in low-light conditions.The Bluetooth connectivity is seamless, and I love that it’s compatible with multiple operating systems, including macOS, iOS, Windows, Linux, and Android. The USB-C charging is convenient and keeps the keyboard powered up for extended periods. The metal build gives it a premium feel and ensures durability.Overall, this renewed keyboard performs just like new and offers excellent value for money. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a sleek and efficient keyboard!

Updated Update: It's been working without a hitch now that I disconnected my old Logitech Bluetooth keyboard from the Mac that this new one is now connected to. Everything is fine.Update: the keyboard suddenly stopped being synced to my Mac when waking my computer up from sleep. I am now returning this junk keyboard and looking for a new backlit keyboard that's actually dependable.Old review: The only issue I had was initial connection of MX Keys Mini to my System, but once I figured that out, it was fine afterwards. The device came to me powered on already, which was weird, but it looks and feels new and was sent in the original packaging despite it being a renewed device. I kept holding down the F1 button but it wouldn't flash rapidly as was said it would do on the support page. But I started getting creative and tried holding down the function button and then holding F1 again, and the light start flashing rapidly like it was supposed to do and I was able to connect. The shipping wasn't overnight, but it was definitely a few days faster than advertised. Logitech makes dependable products, and I suggest this one to anyone on a budget that is trying to get a decent backlit keys device for a good price that doesn't mind a minimalist keyboard. The keys are perfect so far, and I am typing this review on the MX Keys Mini device. I am having to adjust to the larger keyboard after upgrading from an even smaller Logi device. Why did I give this a 3 star review? This being a device for typing on at night, I must say that the keys are pretty klacky and loud while typing on it compared to the non-backlit device. The shipping was slower than I would have liked. For an extra $20, I could have bought the full-size device brand new and walked out of the store with it instead of waiting a week for shipping, which is what I might actually do instead of keeping this device, I haven't decided yet. but, overall it's not a bad product, I just think that the price is super expensive for something that leaves much to be desired that isn't even brand new when buying.
