Logitech MX Keys S for Mac, Wireless Keyboard, Fluid, Precise Laptop-Like Typing, Programmable Keys, Backlit, Bluetooth USB C Rechargeable for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, iPad - Pale Grey

The Logitech MX Keys S for Mac is an outstanding keyboard that blends seamlessly into any Apple setup, both in design and function. With a Mac-specific layout, sleek finish, and backlit, sculpted keys, it offers a superior typing experience over the Apple Magic Keyboard. Features like smart backlighting, programmable keys, and seamless multi-device connection enhance productivity, its solid build, low noise level, and it has an amazing feel when typing, these add extra appeal. After using both, I firmly prefer the Logitech — little bit pricey? Yes but it's the keyboard I’d buy again without hesitation.

The Logitech MX Keys S for Mac is a standout choice for those who want a laptop-like typing experience on their Mac setup. Having used this keyboard for several weeks now, I can confidently say it delivers on its promises of comfort, functionality, and style.First, the typing experience is stellar. Each keystroke feels precise and satisfying, much like a high-quality laptop keyboard but with just enough resistance to make extended typing sessions comfortable. The slight dip in the keys matches your fingers well, reducing the chance of slipping and allowing for fluid, natural movement.One of the major highlights for me is the smart backlighting. The keys illuminate as your hands approach, and the brightness adjusts automatically based on ambient lighting—perfect for late-night work sessions or dimly lit environments. It’s thoughtful touches like this that set the MX Keys S apart from standard keyboards.Connectivity is seamless with Bluetooth or USB-C, and switching between devices is as simple as pressing a button. I also appreciate that Logitech has embraced the Mac aesthetic with the space gray finish, making this keyboard look right at home next to a MacBook or iMac. The battery life is excellent as well; after a full charge, it comfortably lasts over a week with backlighting on and much longer with it off.Overall, the Logitech MX Keys S for Mac is ideal for anyone looking to boost their productivity without compromising on style or typing comfort. It’s well worth the investment for Mac users who value a responsive, thoughtfully designed keyboard.

Don't get me wrong, I still love Apple's Magic Keyboard, it is simply the best and smoothest writing experience I ever had. The pressure point of its keys, the precision, the design, the spacing of the keys, everything is perfect.But I needed a new keyboard because I am working on two computers, and while the Apple connects seamlessly two two machines, it does so through your main computer that needs to be connected to the second one you are using. And for legal reasons, I am not allowed to connect the two computers, because they are for two separate work spaces and assignments.So I needed a keyboard connects itself to two computers and lets you switch manually between them.In the past I might have tried about 15 different keyboards and none of them came even close to the Magic Keyboard experience. Well, the MX does. The keys are perfect, they have a sightly deeper pressure point than the Apple keyboard, but that is ok. The keys feel firm, they respond smoothly to a stroke, and the design is almost the same as the Magic KeyboardThe one single minus I would set is that the keys for switching (you are able to switch between three different computers) are where on an Apple keyboard you find the keys to control the brightness, and I haven't yet found out how to get them from switching machines to setting the brightness.On the upside again, there is Logi Options, an easy to install software that lets you basically assign anything to any of the Fn keys in a matter of seconds. And if you have a Logitech Mouse, the software lets you set it up, too.The MX is heavier than the Magic Keyboard but given that I do not carry it around much, that is not an issue.The battery takes about 3 hrs to charge fully and I have been using it now for two weeks, 8 hrs/day, which brought the charge only down to 90%. That is absolutely comparable to the Apple keyboard.So, if for some reason like versatility, or to be able to switch manually between machines you are looking for a substitute to your Apple keyboard, the MX is the one.

I like the way this keyboard feels. The newest Apple keyboards are too low-travel for me (I prefer the ones from a decade ago), and this has the best feel of the various Logitech keyboards I tried. It has slightly curved keys and a bit more travel than the current crop of Apple laptops (2022).Bluetooth connectivity was easy, and battery life is OK considering it's backlit. It's nice that it comes with a USB-C charging cable.But there were some downsides. The first keyboard I got had a very nasty habit of capitalizing the second key I pressed after hitting Shift. I have typed on many, many keyboards over the last few decades and I have never encountered this problem before. I contacted support to see if there was some way to adjust this sensitivity in software or something, but they just sent me a new keyboard.The second keyboard did not have this issue nearly as much (still happened sometimes), but unfortunately the down-arrow key was busted. It didn't trigger much of the time, and it clicked very loudly when pressed all the way down.So Logitech sent me a third keyboard! Fortunately this one is perfectly functional, with the only problem being that the keyboard wakes up way too often. The others would light up the backlight when I touched them or disturbed the surface (bed, desk, chair) they were sitting on. This one will trigger itself for no apparent reason. This leads it to light up (wasting battery) on a regular basis. This isn't a huge deal, and the shift-key madness isn't as bad as the first (still not ideal though).I give Logitech credit for helping me out with these replacements, but in the future I'll definitely test out the shift key performance before purchasing.
