Excellent keyboard: comfortable, backlight and easy to pair to multiple devices
I have only just received it and used for about a day - so a fresh look without claims to durability or battery life... Main reasons I got this keyboard: portability, backlight, easy connection to multiple devices, comfortable typing experience.It feels heavier and sturdier than I thought, certainly feels more substantial than the latest apple magic keyboard (which is still the best in my view when I comes to a light and comfortable keyboard). The MX Keys however have 2 major elements going for it: very good backlight (although with the Mac version you beed to turn it off during the day as the backlight makes it less useable (white keys) and pairs very smoothly to three separate devices (the Apple keyboard has to be unpaired before it can be used on another device - massively hampering its flexibility).I got this to serve as main keyboard for an iPad mini and secondary for MacBook Air and iPad Pro (mostly used with keyboard case). Personally I don't care whether usb-C or lightning (I always carry both cables) but since it is usb-C (Mac version comes with usb-c to usb-c charging cable) it fits very well with the Mac and iPad eco-systems.Can't say much about long term typing experience - I always have to get used to the feel of a new keyboard, but thus far: very responsive, nice key travel, not very loud, reassuring and easy to move over from the magic keyboard. In terms of comfort I have thus far no real winner between both, but it is ahead due to the backlight and much better connectivity. So, it now occupies second place after the iPad Magic Keyboard case, which remains for me the gold standard for typing.

Better that the apple magic keyboard
I bought this to replace my Apple magic keyboard that just decided to stop working😡It's really well built and feels really solid. It's far more comfortable to type with than a magic keyboard as it has a slightly more raised profile and there is more travel in the keys. The magic keyboard is great but this is even better.Battery life is great but be aware that if you leave the backlight on it can drain pretty quickly within a few hours. The only thing that irritaes me is that when you turn the keyboard off the next time you come to use it the keyboard defaults to having the backlight on. So you have to turn it off each time. It's a minor inconvience of an other wise great product.The main really useful features are the shortcut keys. The screenshot shortcut is an absolute life saver and it also has an emoji shortcut that is really cool 😎You can normally get one on offer well below £100 which is an absolute bargain. I've had Logitech stuff in the past and it's always served me well.My advice is don't bother with the over priced Apple keyboards and buy one of these instead!

Excellent to type on, but Options software is poor
I was looking around for a high quality Bluetooth keyboard to use with my Apple M1 Mac Mini, after my old wired Apple keyboard wore out. Looking at the various tech sites, the choice seemed to come down to the Apple Magic keyboard, the Logitech MX keyboard and this MX Mini. I didn't need the extended numeric keyboard and decided on the MX Mini because it had backlighting. The Apple Magic keyboard does not.Early days, but I'm a copywriter so it's getting plenty of use. The keys are very positive and it's easy to type accurately. No missing characters when I type. I like the angle too - gently raked - and I can already tell it will be perfectly comfortable to type on for extended periods. It's not whisper quiet, but I work from home and it's not going to bother anybody, except maybe the cat.Logitech says that to get the most from the keyboard you should install its Options software. Originally I installed the Options + Beta, more by accident than design, and then had to run a script in Mac Terminal to remove it. No installer included! Stupid.I reverted to the older Options software. This was unable to find the keyboard, which I'd already installed, simply by pairing it over Bluetooth using Mac Bluetooth settings. As part of the software installation process you have to grant quite a bit of privacy access and having seen the company's 2018 software flaw debacle, I decided to pass and uninstall the software.The good news is that the MX Mini still works more or less fine as a standalone bluetooth keyboard. You seem to lose the volume controls and Microphone mute functions, although strangely, the emoji, dictation and screenshot keys still launch fine. You can turn off or brighten the backlight via the keyboard too and switch to standard function keys by hitting function + padlock key (upper right). Battery charge level is available in Mac bluetooth settings.So unless you want to customise the keyboard, which I don't, it works fine without the Options package.The MX Mini's Bluetooth connectivity seems to be steady on my M1 Mac mini. I started the computer this morning and the keyboard linked up straightaway. It has a nifty feature too, where you can pair and connect to three devices by pushing the appropriate bluetooth connection function key. I've set this up on my iPad and it works like a charm.Build quality is very good. One of the reasons I bought this was that I already owned the Logitech Crayon and folio keyboard for my 2020 Apple iPad. These have been excellent and the MX Mini has met my high expectations so far, substandard software aside.Early days and I will update this review after a month or two of use. So far, so good, and worth the premium price.

Amazing Keyboard
Perfect size to fit into your bag, and take on the go. The multiple-device connectivity is amazing. I switch from my Mac to Iphone super seamlessly.

Excellent for Mac
I purchased an Apple Mac Studio for my photography work and at same time bought the Magic Keyboard without checking it first. Although the Magic Keyboard is good it doesnt have backlighting on the keys which for me is a major issue. Having using many Logitech keyboards in past and I had the MX Keys mouse for my mac anyway I purchased this keyboard as a replacement for the Magic one and am so glad I did. Backlit solid build good size comfy to use great keys and excellent battery life and a brilliant function where the backlighting turns off when not using and any movement over the keyboard makes the lights turn back on thus extending battery life even further

Buen teclado, pero... no es español!!!
Quería usarlo para compartirlo entre un Mac y un iPad, pero no me había dado cuenta de que no es un teclado español, tiene otra disposición de teclas. Tuve que devolverlo. Estaría bien que Amazon lo destacara con claridad en la descripción.
