Customers are satisfied with the comfortable keys, adjustable backlighting, and excellent battery life of the MX Keys keyboard. Many appreciate the ease of use and compatibility across multiple devices. While some find the keyboard heavier than expected, and occasional connectivity issues have been reported, the positive feedback on key feel and overall quality outweighs these concerns. The price point is noted by some as a potential drawback.
This is the best keyboard I have ever owned, hands down. I initially was using the Apple Magic Keyboard w/number pad and it was really disappointed in that especially for $150. This one however, is much better and it's $50 cheaper!! Keys feel great, perfect amount of key travel, backlight is great, love the function keys, perfect typing angel as well and the number pad is awesome. Battery is pretty great too, I work from home so gets a ton of use. With my 40 hour work week I charge it about once a month which I think is pretty great! It charges over USB-C which is also great. Also fun fact... I'm an accountant and this keyboard has calculator function button which you can map to any calculator app of choice. SO HANDY, I use that button all day lol. Anyway great keyboard way better than Apple's version

Wanted to add a 5 star! I didn't think I could love a keyboard so much..but I think because I'm weak at typing I love it. Something about how smooth the keys & easy to find just makes it so soothing. 'PerfectStroke keys -Spherically dished keys match the shape of your fingertips, offering a satisfying feedback with every tap.' - YES true!- 'Smart illumination-Features hand proximity detection and automatic backlighting.' - Mine doesn't do this..I'm connected to a 2015 Macbook pro..not sure if that matters. But I have to hit a key for my light to come on... the backlight goes off immediately which is annoying & I can't seem to find any settings for it. I needed to to replace my wired one which is no longer available. I bought the new apple keyboard and hated it! It's completely flat and I didn't like the keys (again I'm a weak typer, so I think I prefer keys to be a little separated.) Also I'm always readjusting throughout the day; so you had no where to grab the keyboard and move it. The only thing I don't like at 1st about the Logi is that it's very heavy.. only because I like to move around & adjust a lot. But, after a few days.. I don't even notice anymore; and the love of the key board out weighs it. PROS - It connects via Bluetooth w your mac so you don't have to use the little dongle. It's BACKLIT! To me that was amazing. The grey apple keyboard is $150 & doesn't do that!

The included Magic Keyboard that came with the 2020 iMac left a LOT to be desired. While the mechanical Logitech G512 keyboard worked well with the computer, the inability to tame the cable mess on the desk without drilling holes to route the length underneath the surface was an endeavor I didn't want to take on. Positive reviews in the press for the MX Keys keyboard had me seriously consider going the wireless route even at the expense of the tactile feedback I've grown to love. Needless to say, the MX Keys is the solution that Apple should have designed. The unit has considerable weight to it and the height of the keys feels much more inviting for extended typing sessions. The backlighting was the primary must-have feature for my use case and the brightness is more than sufficient. I can't comment extensively on battery life cycles and recharge rates. However, the availability of a well-placed USB-C port makes the recharge effort trivial in nature. Especially when used with a Caldigit dock that is inches away. The workspace is now cable-free and the feel is excellent. The Logitech Options software won't work without using the included Unifying Receiver. The customization it brings to the table is worth the loss of a USB port. The ability to pair the MX Keys with up to 3 different devices aids in justifying the $100 point of entry. Incredibly well designed keyboard all around and a mandatory investment for Mac owners!
