Logitech MX Keys Mini review

The MX Keys Mini takes the typing feel of Logitech's MX line and drops the number pad. Logitech says the smaller frame lets you keep the mouse closer for less reaching, which suits small desks and anyone who pairs it with a laptop. It keeps the same spherically dished keys and the backlight that wakes when your hands approach and adjusts to the room. The function row adds dedicated keys for emoji, dictation and mic mute. It charges over USB-C and Logitech rates it for up to 10 days on a charge, or up to 5 months with the backlight off. It connects over Bluetooth Low Energy to up to 3 devices, and Logitech lists support for Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Android, ChromeOS and Linux. A Logi Bolt receiver works with it but is not in the box, which matters for Macs with FileVault. At $89.99 on sale it is the cheapest backlit Logitech here.
