Finally a review talking about the size comparison in a better way! I have the MX keys mini and I am enjoying it. I wanted to give the new mechanical mx mini a try, but the "higher" keyboard style may not be for me.. I will stick with the MX Keys mini! Thank you for a good review 🙂
Thank you, it's much appreciated. I’m still a growing channel, but the views will come. I’m ecstatic to see this video is doing well enough to draw in views and comments like this
Thanks a lot for this comparison, it actually helped me to make a decision and a go for the regular MX Keys. Also, excellent quality video. Keep it up Wilson!
This video helped me decide on the MX Mechanical - I got it the other day and I love it. It's fun to type on but I can only recommend this in a working from home capacity - no need for violence in the cubicle 😂 Thanks for the video!
So the mechanical ones are louder and more noticeable in the office? I can't decide and we are 5 people in one room so I want the most quite but good keyboard
Mechanical, generally, are louder. You can choose linear switches for them, which are practically silent for mechanical keyboards, but the tried and true silent keys will always be laptop-style keyboards.
I really do like both. I think why I am moving towards the MX mechanical it’s just for something different. Both providing pleasant typing experience but it just depends on your needs at the moment. Silence go for MX keys, a nice and audible response go for mechanical
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I still love the MX keys but a minute after trying the mechanical I was hooked. But there are some disadvantages, like the louder sound and the overall key caps took a while for me to get used to typing with but I don’t even notice it anymore.
@@anmolagrawal5358 I would say the MX Mechanical is not very tiring for a mechanical. In fact, I have both of these and I would say the MX Mech might be a bit bit less tiring than the regular MX Keys because the keys require less force to press.
I loved your assessment of the keyboards. Recording at a slightly higher frame rate could go a long ways with those slow motion segments. I still enjoyed your video. Keep up the great work!

Thank you! I am still hesitating, though... A couple of questions, if I may 1. Do both Keys and Mechanical (I am looking at minis) work well with Bluetooth? 2. Which one of the 3 switches on the MX mechanical is the quietest? Thanks in advance
Hello Wilson! thank you so much for this review, please help me, which one do you recommend to me if i want to use it within the mouse MX MASTER 3S? ...i am graphic designer and i want a setup focused on creativity, thank you so much for your help! and greetings from Colombia!
Hi Alejandro, I have both the master three and the master 3S, I also have both the MX mechanical and the standard MX keys. All of them will work for your set up. So the good news is you can pick your favorite, whether it is the laptop style of the MX Keys or if you want to go for the mechanical version; you could make that choice if it fits your style. I’ve use both for video editing and for work and their differences will not get in the way of either of those.
Thanx for the comparison :) The only BIG downside making me not buy the MX Keys so far is that you can NOT have lights on all the time, not even when plugged into power all the time. That sucks! Not sure on the Mechanical but I think not?
thanks my man! I am currently using logitech's wired mechanical keyboard so confused which one to go for I do like the clicky feeling of mechanical keyboard but then mx keys is more subtle also planning to buy master 3s so would mean will need separate adapters for mouse and mx keys
You don’t need separate. I mostly use these through Bluetooth. But you can also use one adapter for multiple. The MX keys comes with the original Logitech dongle but the mechanical, mechanical mini comes with the new logi bolt which doesn’t mix with the original adapter. It gets confusing really. But again, I will say I’ve never had a problem just using the Bluetooth only way of pairing
@@wlsntech well going from mechanical and mx the little spaces makes me typo, it’s a user problem not mx problem lol it takes 20 mins to get use to it I go from two different kb’s from work and work from home kb.
I don't know if you can answer this question or not but on my Apple keyboards, I'm always hitting an extra key when I press the space bar or even two keys instead of one above the space bar and it's very annoying. Do either of these keyboards have versions that map the Apple keyboard specifically, but would make it less likely for me to mistakenly press two keys simultaneously?
so I’ve only had the MX mechanical and the Keychon K3 pro. I would say, the MX mechanical mini is an iPhone. Great for average users who just want something already premade that works great. The K3 pro is also excellent, but is more for those who are open to a lot of customization. I would give it MX mechanical mini to anyone who is either starting into the world of mechanical keyboards, or just need a good keyboard. I would give the K3 pro to anyone who is competent enough to use the QMK firmware; not afraid of hot, swapping, switches, etc.
Is it mandatory to download the software to use this keyboard? Thinking about this for company laptop; but IT admin won’t allow non approved software installation
You don’t have to download the software but to get the benefits from it you need to download it on at least one computer. It will carryover most of your settings. So, for example, I use it on my Mac where I have the main program. And I can use it to set up custom keyboard shortcuts. And then I can use it on my work PC or my iPhone or iPad without needing to download the software on those
@@wlsntech also, thank you for replying to a query raised, 1 year after your original post. Great content and engagement; you got a new subscriber bud!
Is it just me but my wrist started to ache when I use MX Mechanical? I even bought a Delta Hub Carpio for th e left hand with no avail. Also with MX Keys I hardly make a mistake in typing. I really want to use the mechanical but I find so many cons!
I want to buy either of these to use on both Mac and Windows, so I am not shopping for the Mac version specifically. Between the MX Keys and MX Mechanical, which would have better compatibility to also use on Mac? Thanks, quality video, subbed to the channel!
Both of them are technically compatible and should do well with a mac but the mechanical does use a new style of usb called the logibolt which is supposed to have a stronger connection
Excellent Video Thanx for sharing 👉I have humble question which Keyboard best for use with Samsung Galaxy S9 Ultra Tablet ( Original Samsung book cover Keyboard $350 is expensive n not worth & I rarely use Computer) not for Profesional use. Reqired smooth Typing experience with good backlight keys. Thank You 👍Always Stay Safe .🙏
No problem, Here are some well-reviewed keyboard options that offer a smooth typing experience and backlighting. The Logitech K380, that's compact, works with multiple devices, and has long battery life. The Samsung Smart Keyboard Trio 500 connects to multiple devices and is a good value.
MX Keys is very nice until it breaks, keycaps replacement is hard find, if you do find them its from someone's old keyboard via Ebay and extremely pricy
@@wlsntech Thanks for your empathy. Now i'm looking for a replacement that will last longer so i guess mechanical brown (im use to scissor switch i figure they are closest.) it has to be low profile wireless and i think i want TKL style. "2.4 GHz wireless connection" its hard finding the right one then i'm this picky. But keychron latest seem to have what im looking for.
I've been using MX Keys keyboard for a while and I like it LESS every day. Why? There's no good reference to get your fingers into the right place without looking down so I'm constantly in the wrong position and making way more mistakes than with any other keyboard I've used. For example, the function keys are exactly the same distance off the numbers--bad. Also, the logo on the "cmd" key looks similar the Windows key so I'm constantly confused which button is the Start button--I don't want Mac keys on my Windows keyboard. I also prefer dedicated multimedia keys over dual purpose FN keys. I do like the feel of the keys and can type quickly when I'm in the right position. It's VERY expensive, but I ordered direct from Logitech and got the palm rest for free. Finally, good luck getting your custom MX Master buttons to work--Logitech Options is CRAP.
No, they are only wireless. You can connect them into a computer, but you still need to use the Bluetooth. They do have a dongle that you can connect to strengthen your signal. I have had three different versions of the logitech keyboards and mice, and havent experienced any issues
@@wlsntech Thanks for the info. As someone who does gaming on my keyboard I won't use anything introducing latency, so I only use cable. Too bad it won't work with these keyboards, they seem great otherwise.
Nuphy & Keychron have some solid gaming keys. I haven’t reviewed gaming keyboards yet but if there are any other good ones out there, I can definitely start checking them out,
@@wlsntech yeah you know how most keyboards have a wide shift key on the left? The newer mx models have that key more narrow which screws up my muscle memory when using shortcuts that involve that key
I don’t understand that hype around this mechanical keyboard. this keyboard is so bad, so cheap for the price... when typing on it it sounds so "plastic"… I prefer so much the mx Keys which makes it really premium and has much better typing comfort 😕
Well it depends on your experience, for some people the MX mechanical keyboards are on the expensive side and they prefer something around $50. But for most they are great entry level
I agree that the MX Mechanical is very expensive but I still like it for its wireless features. I also have a much cheaper Sharkoon Purewriter which types just fine, but it's wired and the metal border gives me static discharge shock 😅 The normal MX Mini is nice, but I really missed the Home and End keys.
What are the issues that you have with your current Apple keyboard? Sounds like you’re ready to move on. logitech makes really good and accessible keyboards.
@@wlsntech Mine isn't an official apple one it just copies the same design. It is a cheap, very flexy and very simple bluetooth keyboard I got for a couple of dollars. It doesn't have anything wrong with it but I love keyboards, especially mechanic ones, so I may actually get the mx mechanical but I'm worried about the thickness.
Personally, I don’t have any issues with flex for the MX unless you really try to twist it. The Mx mechanical is a nice alternative option. It is thicker, but that’s only if you like a mechanical keyboard. And I’m talking about the mini for both. Since you would like to use it with your tablet, the mini is even sturdier.

Eduardo are you happy with your new keyboard? If you say yes I buy it
@@Neehize Yes I’m happy! But I actually prefer the Mini version because of its more compact form factor, so both are excellent.

Doing the lords work
I'm buying both. Test driving both. And returning one.
Good review.
Sounds like a plan, I think they're both good but it definitely based on preference.
you have to buy 4 - mx keys and 3 types of mechanical with different switches if you want to test them all.
@@shambu2012 I ended buying 5 or 6 and trying a few more in store. I returned everything and kept the MX Keys Mini. I haven't found a better keyboard.
Great review! I think I will be going for the MX Mechanical!
It’s an excellent choice. Let me know how you like it when it arrives
Thank you! I am still hesitating, though... A couple of questions, if I may
1. Do both Keys and Mechanical (I am looking at minis) work well with Bluetooth?
2. Which one of the 3 switches on the MX mechanical is the quietest?

1. Yes. Never had any issues
2. Linear (red)
Good straightforward review. You might want to kill the background music or halve the volume as it is distracting/annoying.
Sorry about that. I’ve since found a nice middle ground with the volume in my future videos

Your mx keys seems to have a darker gray than the usual pictures of it... is it another mx keys version? Or it is just a light/shadow effect?
It could be a lighting. It looks similar to what I see on the box or on the website. It’s like a medium gray.

How to set mx key backlight level? Software is terrible and every time I turn off my pc backlight lvl go to default.

You're right, the Logi Bolt receiver solves a security issue and I think logitech is damn near a staple for businesses to a makes sense
Hi！Any palm rest for mx mechanical mini recommended?😊
