For a membrane keyboard, the actual key travel is plentiful, and there’s a surprisingly decent amount of tactility to it. Personally, I’d opt for mechanical over membrane every day, but the MX Keys might make some rethink their decisions.
Without a PC-connected cable to power it, every wireless keyboard, of course, needs a battery to run. Most wireless keyboards these days rely on built-in lithium-ion batteries you can recharge, though you do occasionally run into some that rely on good old AA or AAA cells. You can use the mouse cursor to move from one computer to the next. MX Keys keyboard will follow the mouse and switch computers at the same time. You can even copy and paste between computers. You will need to install Logitech Options software on both computers and follow these instructions.

With its clean grey finish and white capitalised keycap font, the MX Keys looks suave, sophisticated and stylish. By way of looks, it would definitely be a keyboard that’s walking straight into my office. Press Fn + Esc to swap between Media keys and F-Keys. We’ve added a notification to let you know you’ve swapped. There are no rubber feet provided, unlike some other wireless standalone keyboards or desktop sets, although the preset angle of the MX Keys is perfectly adequate for a comfortable typing experience. Now that you what to look for in a good wireless keyboard, we’ve taken all the guesswork out of the equation and put together a list of the best ones we’ve reviewed. Whether you’re planning to use the board for work, gaming, or just everyday computing, it isn’t hard to cut the cord without compromises. OTHER SWITCH TYPES. Among wireless keyboards, you'll spot the occasional model using membrane or mechanical key switches. Membrane keyboards actuate, triggering the signal that goes to your computer, by pushing down a rubber dome at the base of the key. Mechanical keyboards do the same via a physical switch with a spring or other tactile actuator. Relative to scissor switches, both types of keyboards provide more key-press travel, which leads to a more comfortable typing experience. Many people prefer the low action and light touch of scissor switches, though, so this ultimately comes down to personal preference.
Wireless keyboards serve many masters. They're great if you're trying to declutter, or like typing with your keyboard on your lap. Mobile productivity hounds who want gear that’s ready for travel swear by them, too, and some models let you swap one typing peripheral among desktops, laptops, and tablets. In the vast majority of situations, there’s no difference between using a keyboard with a wireless connection and a standard wired one. The only time you’ll notice is when it’s time to charge it—or when you forget to. Compared to the competition, it’s the software where the MX Keys wins. Options provides this newfound versatility with wireless peripherals, as well as its design and ultra-stable key presses setting it apart from the likes of Microsoft’s Surface Keyboard. KEY LAYOUT. Most wireless keyboards are full-size, meaning they have 104 keys or more, including a number pad. Most particularly productivity-focused models, use low-profile scissor-switch keys, similar to what you’d find in a laptop. This keeps their dimensions slim, making them more portable and helping to maintain the sleek, minimalist look popularized by Apple’s Magic Keyboard. With that in mind, the best wireless keyboards don’t overcommit to that aesthetic so much that the keys feel bunched together too closely. Mechanical keyboards tend to be wired models, more often than not, though there are exceptions.
The Logitech MX Keys represents the company’s newest – and quite pricey – entry into the world of wireless productivity-enhancing peripherals. Your keyboard is compatible with multiple operating systems (OS): Windows 10 and 8, macOS, iOS, Linux and Android. If you are a macOS or iOS user, the special characters and keys will be on the left side of the keys: With slightly recessed keycaps, the MX Keys keeps you focused on finger placement during long typing sessions – and while I’ve never been the biggest fan of “deep-dish” keycaps, the little indents here are more than welcome to aid comfort.
Also, this keyboard can work on both the provided USB-A receiver as well as Bluetooth. And with the MX Master 3 mouse (not included), it’s possible for both devices to work on one USB-A receiver through the power of Logitech’s Unifying Receiver. There are also a few features you’re unlikely to find. Though a few keyboards on our list come with a wrist rest, it’s less likely that a wireless keyboard will include one. Also, without a wired connection, it would be impossible for a keyboard to offer USB passthrough ports on the body, so that’s not something you’ll find, either.It also allows the MX Keys to be used with any Logitech Flow-enabled mouse, such as the MX Master 3, and ensures you can have an extended desktop on two completely different operating systems. It’s quite the nifty piece of kit. Should you buy the Logitech MX Keys? USB receiver: Plug the receiver to a USB port, open Logitech Options, and select: Add devices> Setup Unifying device, and follow the instructions. Being designed to compete with the likes of Apple’s Magic Keyboard means the MX Keys has been pushed to be slim. This helps it look the part and feel fantastic – but, importantly, this doesn’t negatively affect key travel.
