    Good video. More helpful than the last handful of mx keys review videos I watched this morning. And the youtuber antics and music also made it easier to watch. Thanks for putting that together.

    The sound made it clear to me. Great thing you included a quick typing sound difference. Still the black one for me.

    Yeah I've also noticed that the button presses on the new MX Keys S are not quite as low profile as the older MX Keys. I'm sure I'll get used to it because there isn't a huge difference but it's definitely noticeable when comparing the 2 keyboards.
    Having said that - I find that my typing accuracy is slightly improved on the MX Keys S vs the older MX Keys.

    I totally agree with your review : I defintively prefer the typping on (old) MX Keys vs (new) MX Keys S. I can't understand what they have done with this change... After a comparison side by side, I finally reselled my new MX Keys S with no regrets. It's a petty because I did the mouse upgrade from MX Master 3 to 3S (which is so much better), so I''m know having 2 USB recepters : Bolt (for MX Master 3S) + Unifying (for MX Keys). I questionned myself about that but I'm happy with this choice, the typping experience is much more important to having 2 USB receivers instead of one.

    Hi there Jacob,
    After watching your video, I have finally decided to purchase the OG MX Keys Keyboard.
    I agree with what you say, the truth is that the differences are few and I think that the OG MX Keys model is more suited to my preferences and habits, since I use an old keyboard with really high keys.
    Thank you very much for the comparison, it has been very useful to me. 👍
    A greeting from Spain.

    I prefer the MX Keys. It is the best one for me. The typing sounds, their design. In short, I like it. Previously, I bought the Keychron K4 V2 Red Switch and found this Keychron keyboard louder than the MX Keys.

  • @graytonw5238

    I recently bought the MX Keys S keyboard/mouse combo. I've had a lot of crappy membrane keyboards over the years, a few really good ones and a Das Keyboard mechanical, but I really love this one. Feels like it's built like a tank, good keyboard travel (if you like mechanical keyboards you won't mind this at all) and decent backlighting. At 200 bucks it's pricey, but worth it in my opinion. It's the first one I've ever owned, so I don't have an MX Keys for comparison.

  • @blablybla
    @blablybla 9 місяців тому +2

    So, how about backlit issues on keys s? Original one didn't remember light settings, which you needed to apply on every system boot. Also, you couldn't turn the light on permanently and move/proximity sensor wasn't very good. Have they fixed any of this crap in new version?

    are the F-keys only available pressing the "FN" keys? If yes, it would be a real pain to use it for development like debugging because you need the F-keys all the time. Edit: I just found out that you can permanently enable the F-keys via a key combination 🤩

    The only real upgrade is the backlight setting, and it's software 😂 And they refuse to implement it in the old models although customer are asking for it since the release of the first MX keys. Ridiculous
