Hey Hemal, I have the same keyboard but I keep facing the input lag issues with both my Windows and Mac laptops. I start typing/using the keyboard only to realize that nothing has happened and then I have to redo the same task again. Does it happen with you?
Hi, I’ve read others having this issue too but I don’t experience it. It may be because I connect via Bluetooth instead of the receiver, so you could try that. Others have said this fixed the issue.
Thank you 🙂 My wife uses a windows machine for work, she said the @ symbol remains as displayed on the keyboard at the number 2 key. I do know that in order to switch the keyboard layout to be suitable for windows, you need to press Fn + P for 3 seconds, and for Mac it’s the O key. That way the cmd/alt keys work correctly.
I found the hack for the random light up glitch and it worked like an absolute charm. I don't remember where I found it, I think it was in a Reddit group or another comment section here. You need to hold the keyboard up vertically and give it a nice shake. Not too harsh. Just shaking it twice up and down will do. This instantly solves the issue until it happens next time, when you have to do the same thing again. Someone said it was due to dust but I don't know what it really is.
there is delay when you're typing? like, there is any difference between using a wired keyboard and this one with a dongle? im trying to buy one wireless keyboard, but most of them are just bluetooth, using it on windows with some anonymous bluetooth dongle wasnt an option, cause sometimes i play games...
Hi, no there isn’t a delay, it’s the same as using a wired keyboard. With this keyboard you have the choice to use either the dongle or Bluetooth to connect to your computer.
Hi Hemal. I just bought my keyboard few days ago. I connected it easily with ipad and mobile but I can't connect it to pc. It shows sign of connection but the keyboard doesn't function. Do you have any advice?
@@hemalmistry I tried both ways and in both ways it's giving me a sign that it's connected. I can use some functions like calculator or locking of the windows but the rest of the keyboard doesn't function. I tried to contact Logitech support and they said we will be contacting with you in 10 minutes. So far nobody called. The PC is new and up to date, just actualized it with latest actualization, I doubt it's the problem with the bluetooth software.
The only way I know is to use the F6 key (lower backlight) to switch it off. If you switch the keyboard off then on, then you have to press it again. I’m don’t know if there’s a way to permanently switch it off, from forums I’ve read, people say there isn’t a way.
@@hemalmistry It seems easy but it is not when you have a varied or unknown audience. Some people may want a lot of details and others want you to get to the conclusion fast. You have to find the right balance between those 2 ends.
Was looking at this and the black Apple keyboard with Touch ID. $230 is a tough pill to swallow for the Apple keyboard, albeit not even with a back light. A local electronics store was liquidating, and sold me this Logitech Mx for mac for…$60!!! Just picked it up today. Couldn’t say no to that price. So I looked up a video to see what other ppl thought of it. Great review! 👍🏻
I had a cheap wireless keyboard before and if did lag at times. Every time I would turn in the pc the first stroke was not registered until it was connected. Is this the case with this keyboard?
I use mine every day and I love it more than the Magic Keyboard. I don't use the back light much from time to time and I am going on more that 5 months without charging. 🥳
Hey Hemal, just wanted to reach out and say thank you for your review. You have a nice calm way to present things. As I am a marketing pro allow me one little tip for your RUclips-Channel. Use a more modern transition between the parts of the video for your titles and your channel will quickly gain more followers. Seems a very little things, but just believe me it will boost your followers. You and your good content deserve it. ✌😁. One new follower - right now. Cheers - Greg
Much appreciated Greg, that’s kind of you to provide feedback, I’ll take a look at other options for transitions on Final Cut for my titles, do you have any suggestions which ones? Is it specifically titles only or did you mean b roll too?
I use the same keyboard with Windows 11 - everything works perfectly. I connected it to my macbook, but I can't change the input language. Does anyone know how to change the input language on a macbook using a Logitech MX Keys?
I did a quick google search… you could try this… In Logi Options+ software: 1. go into your keyboard settings where it presents the keyboard with the pictures of the the customizable keys - 2. Select the key you would like to reprogram to use to switch languages (I used the lock in the far right corner, because I don't need to lock my computer with the keyboard) - 3. Select "other options" and click "input language".
I own a Logitech MX Keys bought in Nov '21 that I use with my M1 Macbook pro and Surface Pro. It only worked for 2 years. There are many ghost keystrokes being registered and some keys stop working randomly. Right now, there are 10 keys which do not work (E, J, C, F4, F5, F9, ~, >). In fact, once connected, it prevents even the laptop keystrokes from being registered. If you are in India, I would advise everyone to avoid Logitech because there is no after sales service. My MX Master 2S battery died after 2 years, K380 BT connection was bad and now this keyboard. Having to paying a premium for these expensive products and then losing them to avoidable and repairable issues (3/4 products in my case) is the worst feeling.
That’s not good at all and good to know as I’ve only had mine over a year. So far so good but I’ll keep watch if it starts to play up. Thanks for sharing your experience. Which keyboard would you advise instead?
I have had this keyboard for over a year. Cheap plastic surface that wears and stains quickly. The shell has flex in it. The keys are extremely heavy to press and you bottom out to type. Generally bad typing experience Overall Software is decent for automation but worse than others in this class. Takes spills extremely well. In this price range you can purchase aluminum shells, proper mechanical keys in any choice you want and better software programmability This keyboard while not bad is definitely not worth the price when there are so many better options to choose from on the market. It would be fantastic to see logitech add a real premium keyboard to its line up that deserved to sit beside the mx master mouse but this really isn't it.
Thats true, it would be great if it were aluminium. Interesting to know your experience with the keyboard, I’ll be curious to see how mine wears over time. Which other keyboards are better in your opinion?
I just ordered this together with the MX Master S3 mouse so I'm really curious what other keyboard would you recommend. I'm using a Corsair K40 now since ages together with a Razer Naga Pro mouse and while I'm overall satisfied but I want a wireless keyboard, quite, modern looking and try the low profile together a productivity and ergonomic mouse. I'm more focused on work and learning as a programmer than on gaming.
As for backlighting turning on by itself I can confirm it happens the same thing with my mx keys s. I already requested a replace to amazon but at this point I'm sure they're all faulty.
@@hemalmistry I was going to change my bulky but wonderful MX mouse because I was always bumping into the keyboard. I even tried a trackball, what a nightmare if you're a designer. Probably will add a blue tooth numeric keypad because I miss that on the mini. Overall great keyboard like the big brother
Why didn't you address the main reason for purchasing this keyboard? The ability to connect to up to 3 different computers is, by far, the best reason for buying this device.
This ist the gen 1. keyboard, so the MX Keys (without S). The 2nd gen (Keys S). has a few other buttons in the top row
Hi, really good review! Thanks for taking the time to make such good content. 😊
Very kind of you, thank you 🙂🙏🏽

Nice video thank you. Do you use with a windows machine ? If so, does it resolve the @ and " keys switching ?

Great video Hemal! Are you able to assign the keyboard to an iPhone for any of the options?
Thanks 🙂 Yes you can, although I never use it that way but I know you can.

You could try connecting it via Bluetooth instead of the reciever.

Hi bro nice review , may i ask what monitor is that ? Can u pls tell me make and model thankyou….😊
Hi, thank you 🙂 Yeah sure, it’s the Acer Predator X34.
What kind of mic do you use? sounds great
Thanks, it’s the Boya BY-M1S Lav Microphone
Just one question, there is some feature to disable the sensor of the back light?
The only way I know is to use the F6 key (lower backlight) to switch it off. If you switch the keyboard off then on, then you have to press it again. I’m don’t know if there’s a way to permanently switch it off, from forums I’ve read, people say there isn’t a way.
Nice review format. Concise and to the point.
Ah thank you 🙂 I try my best to deliver the main points that a regular person would want to know.

No, not in my experience with this keyboard.
@@hemalmistry thanks for your reply 👍 you deserve the subscription 👍 👍
Much appreciated 🙂
yes it do it, first stroke is not recognized, you need to wait 2-3 second and then it works
I use mine every day and I love it more than the Magic Keyboard. I don't use the back light much from time to time and I am going on more that 5 months without charging. 🥳
Oh that’s awesome that it’s lasting longer than 5 months. Good to know that you prefer it over the Magic Keyboard. Do you use any smart actions?
I use smart actions to open all the Web browsers I need for the day. Instead of opening one by one, they all open by one click off a Botton yeah! 🥳
Nice one 🙌🏽 That’s a great way to use it, for repetitive tasks.

If you could schedule it to light up on its own at night and turn off during day time it would be awesome
That would be great 👍🏽
I just threw mine through the window. 4 years later it would not connect to my computer, I do not need 3 device connections
That’s no good, hopefully the next one is more suitable.

That’s good to know it’s not just mine, yeah I suppose it’s as per design 😂
@@hemalmistry you shouldn't be happy that mine is faulty too. just kidding, brother 😉
i could never imagine turning a keyboard off every single day , then turning it on the next day. is that really what you've been doing?
I leave the backlight off now so I don’t need to turn it off every day.
Love this keyboard but is a tad bit too wide, switching to the mini version.
I fully agree, I much prefer the mini too so I have space for my mouse but my wife prefers this one.

274 subs and this production quality, im shocked
Thanks 🙂🙏🏽
yeah for me the Mac keyboards are the best. Expensive but perfect
Yeah I agree, the trackpad is awesome with it.

Yes it’s a great feature and one that I mentioned in the video.
He mentioned it at the end of the video
This is the Mx Keys....NOT the Keys S
There maybe ghosts touching the keyboard
