Logitech MX Keys S Advanced Wireless Illuminated Keyboard - Graphite

The Logitech MX Keys S keyboard is an absolute ripper. So easy to connect and a real delight to use. That I can link three different computers to it is just a bonus. The highlighting of the keys makes typing so much easier, as does the very light touch required.
After years of using any keyboard that was available, this Logitech component had dramatically improved my engagement with my PC. Highly recommended, cannot speak highly enough of the fantastic keyboard. It's not cheap, but it is really worth the outlay. The Logitech MX Keys S keyboard is an absolute ripper.

I already have two of the previous version. This purchase replaces the previous version on my home office desk. The displaced keyboard is now in my travel pack. The other one is on my desk at the office that I occasionally visit.

I love these keyboards for work. They're solid, don't flex and have a great feel. A bit heavy for the travel pack, but worth carrying for me so I don't have to adjust to multiple laptop keyboards while writing code.

The only significant difference with the 'S' variant is that it uses the Logitech Bolt wireless dongle rather than the Logitech unifying dongle, and they aren't compatible which is a pain when your older Logitech mouse doesn't know about the Bolt. You can use bluetooth. I just upgraded my MX Anywhere 3S, and retired a 2S MX anywhere.

The MX Keys S also has a quieter keypress. Useful for me when I wake up in the night and code with lights out (nice responsive keyboard illumination). My partner can't hear my typing 3 metres away, but I can over the keyboard.

The flow feature isn't of much use to me as (like most programmers these days) I work on Linux, and Logitech doesn't support Flow on that. I have to hit a button on the keyboard and on the mouse to jump to the laptop. But using remmina to run RDP to the laptop to get a screen on the main display is easier than fiddling with Flow anyway.

Love the smart backlit keys that sense your hands before they reach the keyboard as they approach, so you can easily see the keys before you type. The keyboard is also super comfortable to use and I've noticed a reduced error rate in my typing due to the design and indentation of the keys. A real pleasure to use. It is slim so using a mousepad has worked well for me, though you may struggle without one. Only thing to note is that the function keys are combined with the action keys, so if you use F1-F12 a lot you may want to reconfigure the keyboard using the app or invest in a keyboard with separate function keys.

I purchased this to replace a worn out Logitech MX Keys unit (not the "S" version). The new S version is just as good. I mainly work with CAD and I use the screenshot button a lot.

NOTE: I was previously enjoying using a single Logitech "unifying" receiver with my old keyboard and mouse (Logitech MX Master 3). With this new version you have to use the new "bolt" receiver and my mouse does not support this. No problem if you have plenty of USB ports or a more recent Logitech mouse such as the MX Master 3S.

I purchased this after my old Logitech wireless keyboard started to play up after almost 15 years of service.
I wasn't sure about the chicklet keys, but as I've also got a small, old Logitech bluetooth keyboard with chicklet keys that I used from time to time and had always found it comfortable to type on, figured I'd try this out.
It's very good - took me a couple of hours to fully get used to it - I'm a ~75wpm trained touch typist and have found my input accuracy and speed has not changed.
The keyboard and Logitech Options+ software provide a large amount of configurability that I've just scratched the surface of.

Even as a touch typist, I find backlight is good, especially now it is autumn and I find myself in my office in dim lighting.
The keyboard is stylish and slim line, but extremely weighty (which is a good thing).
I think if you are a typist who prefers to have your keyboard raked at a high angle, this might not work so well for you as it does not have any adjustability like most keyboards do. For me, I prefer a slightly flatter keyboard, so this works well. I guess you could prop it up if you needed a higher angle.
Battery life so far has been OK - I fully charged it before use, and after a little over a week, around 60 hours of work time, it is showing 55%. I expect it'll probably improve after the first charge. It can be used whilst charging though so I'm not concerned with a long battery life.
All in all, I'm very pleased with it.

love this keyboard, it has a nice solid feel. smooth operation and slimline form factor, it is quite good looking in my opinion. love this keyboard, it has a nice solid feel. smooth operation and slimline form factor, it is quite good looking in my opinion.

Initially a great keyboard, but it failed within a few months and is now utterly dead. The second Logitech keyboard I have purchased that has lasted far less time than I would have expected.
Will not be buying Logitech again - Used to be a great brand but their quality has obviously slipped drastically.

This is the 3rd one of these I've bought for various setups. Never had connection issues with the bolt receiver and I love that you can connect the mouse to the same receiver so you only take up a single USB port. Battery seems to last for a long time. And I just love the typing experience. I think it's expensive, but find it under $200 on occasion. And I haven't found anything similar. This is the 3rd one of these I've bought for various setups.

Love the feel of the keys, and the ability to switch between 3 devices Love the feel of the keys, and the ability to switch between 3 devices
