Logitech MX Mechanical Mini for Mac Wireless Illuminated Keyboard, Low-Profile Switches, Tactile Quiet Keys-Pale Grey (Renewed)

I've been using mechanical keyboards for years, and we recently setup a laptop -> desktop setup for my girlfriend for school so she can use a second monitor with her Macbook Air. Wanted to get her a keyboard that is mechanical and reliable without too much travel distance like my corsair with red switches. She's loved it since it arrived and we haven't had any issues. I haven't tested it for gaming, nor do I plan to, but as far as typing, connectivity, and battery life it's done great.

Was a little worried about buying refurb, but for the price of $70, I figured there wasn’t much to lose, especially since it could always be returned. The item arrived in “like new” condition. Packaging, accessories and the keyboard itself are all in clean, flawless condition. Fired up straight out of the box and connected immediately to my MacBook Pro and my iPad without any issue. As for the experiencing using the keyboard itself, this is my first mechanical keyboard and I find the typing experience to be pleasant. To be honest though, the novelty of the loud clicking (even though this is a “quiet” mechanical), while fun at first, began to wear off after about an hour. I started to experiment on how to strike the keys to make the strokes as quiet as possible. While switching back and forth between the MX Mechanical, MX Keys, and my MacBook Pro’s keyboard, I find I much prefer the scissor switches, but I will keep the mechanical around switch it up every now and then. If the MX Mechanical Mini is what you want, don’t hesitate on buying refurb and saying a lot of money. If the item you get doesn’t meet expectations, you can always send it back and try again. Edit - 3/9/24. After using the Mechanical Mini exclusively for a couple of days, I’m much more “used” to it, both he feel and the sound, and am starting to prefer it to the MX Keys. I still enjoy the built in keyboard on my MacBook Pro the most, but the mechanical mini is not far behind.

This is a very nice keyboard. Portable and just clicky enough to be satisfying while not being too loud to use in an office setting. The bluetooth connection is pretty seamless (though standard for these kinds of keyboards these days), the battery life is very good, and the Logi Options+ app allows you to customise it pretty easily. I think more experienced typists or other hobbyist keyboard folks will find the app a bit limiting though. I previously used a Keychron K6 which in all honesty is just as good if not better, though a little more bulky. It does have some flaws, most notably that the give over time makes the keys "squeak" a little bit when typing - not sure if that's something a touch of oil would help with, but it's definitely noticeable sometimes and honestly drives me a little crazy. It's enough to knock it down a star but I'd definitely still recommend it as a good travel keyboard.

Delivery took a week. The keyboard came in excellent condition with no visible signs of wear. Fantastic keyboard with great keystrokes, quiet enough for office setting but enough feel to them to be very satisfying. I am always a bit hesitant with refurbished products but this one hit the mark perfectly. Ive read that people have had bluetooth issues, it's worth noting that you need to download the Logitech software, which will also let you customize inputs and lighting. I have had no issues with connectivity across 3 separate devices.

The base of the keyboard works great. I love the sound of the keys, the metal parts of the body, and the three-device pairing. The spacebar feels and sounds a bit worse, but isn't awful. My main issue with the device is that it doesn't work corded and requires Bluetooth to function. I didn't know that until after I bought it, but it means I have to keep a spare keyboard near my computer in case of any issues which I don't love. As a note, I've also heard MX batteries have issues, and have another MX keyboard at work which is now experiencing those issues so I'm not too hopeful for the lifespan of this device.

Wonderful type sound, individual customized key mapping allows a lot of different possible functions, depending on your specific needs and interests. High quality materials and a very well-made build. That's very responsive. Researched several different options before deciding on this mechanical keyboard, and I am more than happy with my selection. Not to mention Logitech is a trusted name when it comes to tech gear.

Been using it for work 12+ hours a day for over a year with no issues or desyncs. Can switch between mac and windows computers with a press of a button. Not too loud and responsive.

Obviously smaller but I love the size and function. Looks great, works great. Can connect to more than one device.
