As a casual user of this keyboard for coding as a hobby I've loved it. I think the people who have problems with it are those who are mechanical keyboard fanatics and I dont think this keyboard was designed for that person. It was designed got people who enjoy mechanical typing and wireless but don't care about the modification side of things.
@@May16Joe The wire is only for charging, it would be nice if it would work and type when you have the charging wire connected and not using Bluetooth.
I own the MX mechanical mini (Linear switch, RED ) I have no idea why people are giving sticks on this keyboard. I have always loved using a mechanical keyboard but never fancied them cause they are so chunky. Apart from that i always had the impression that it should make so much noise when you type. After learning more, i understand there is different switches that offers a different feel on the typing experience. The fact that this is low profile, wireless and also super portable ticks all the box for me. Battery life is great, USB donggle provided. It looks and feel so solid. I really have no complains for it! I would rate this 10/10 - This is a productivity game changer for someone who works remotely and game occasionally (if you are a gamer you might what to look at getting a Linear switch. Yes it is made out of ABS, downfall is that it will start to shine. But hey if you want something to last long, take the time to clean the caps occasionally. I love typing on this keyboard so much and this is by far very sexy and beneficial to have! so im sorry i dont agree with people who writes this keyboard off. Hope this helps anyone who is contemplating on getting this. Shoot me a message i would be more than happy to take questions. Cheers!
Somewhere next month I will order this keyboard, I have now a simple K270 and wanted to upgrade into something more lasting, as mine is already showing signs of dying soon. lol I don't have any experience with any of the technical terms I saw in this video, but, I know it sounds really nice, wireless is great, and I have no intention into changing the keys on the keyboard, maybe if I am using this keyboard for a year or so, who knows, I might look into something that can be swapped to customize it slightly. I am thinking about the mini, all tho, sometimes, not that often I am using the numpad.. I hope I can get used to it without a numpad, because I live in Spain, so a US layout will cost at least 40 to 60 bucks more than a Spanish version. so this mini one would be 159 bucks, the numpad version 179 bucks
@@Spazeranger red is linear and is smooth travel all the way. Brown has an actuation point where there's a little resistance until it ''clicks". But the brown switches are also quiet.

I will choose logi over nuphy and keychron. I don’t want to install Chinese softwares especially keyboard related one. I don’t need hot swap, but I need longer battery life. I don’t want to charge it every month, 10 months seems great for me
One thing worth mentioning, relevant more for those outside USA, that Nuphy does not produce and not planning to produce/support ISO standards for other countries. Which leads to picking up other brands, even if you would want Nuphy. Any how, I'm happy with Logitech so far. Thanks for video.
I would agree about other mechanical keyboards (Keychron, Nuphy, ...). Connectivity and even support for all possible key combinations just isn't there. Logitech always comes through.
For those who are concerned about the keycaps, they suck. I have been using this keyboard for two months and the keycaps are already “shiny”, very bad. The battery is great on this keyboard tho. My unit is curved which I think was a manufacturing defect.

Unlike Logitech, you can just replace the keycaps on NuPhy since it uses standard stabs on all caps. In addition, they are releasing a shine-through keycap set.
@@warpathh material and style consistency? That's the whole point that Logitech's caps are completely crap. Still, you can get NuPhy and a set of caps for less than the price of Logitech.
Yes, from what you've demonstrated it does look as though the key caps are quite fragile, which is a concern as I'd want something that's sturdy enough to be taken to and from the office in a backpack. Might have to consider other options on the market 👍🏼
For medical doctor who is studying for specialization, spends 12h sitting at my desk, more time reading and making questions, sometimes writing notes on macmini, large desk, using a logitech k380, should i buy a mx keys mini or full size? or even mechanical?
The issue with the Logitech MX Mechanical Mini is that it cannot be hot-swapped (cant replace switches as it is soldered into the board). If one key begins to fail or if you want to change switches. you will need to replace the entire keyboard or know how to unsolder all switches and replace them. If you do not want to go down that path or do not want to deal with the hassle, choose another keyboard. other drawbacks: ABS keycaps - they will shine in time There are no wired connections. You are better off with Nuphy Air75, as shown in the video. When using a receiver, the Logitech MX Mechanical Keyboard has a latency of 13.8ms, while the Nuphy Air75 has a latency of 10.4ms good for gaming.
Daym son! It looks nice. But, it seems louder than my old Corsair K70 with Cherry MX reds... Also the lack of hot swap and low durability make it a somewhat bad deal.

Very valuable review, thank you! The Nuphy looks awesome but it's sort of US-exclusive, in terms of shipping and key layouts, Logitech is more available
Downfall with all of these Logitech wireless keyboards is that they're wireless that USB c ord should also support wired typing I've gone through literally dozens of these things over the years because the wireless just stops working
I use and enjoy the feel of my Logitech MX Mechanical Mini but I am pretty OCD about key shine… and these are really bad in that sense. I just can’t ever get them clean - I must have greasy fingers. 😂 I am going to try the Nuphy 75 and see how I like that.
Thanks haha! The wireless is amazing, but my biggest gripe is the keycaps 😔 I wouldn't mind the hotswap, as there aren't too many low profile switches to pick from anyway, what do you think?
@@minimalistik it good for exactly that the wireless connectivity was better then anything iv used but still I couldn’t justify it the price because your exactly right the keycaps were so bad I feel like I’m slipping the whole time
@@minimalistik My good sir, what would you recommend as a good alternative to this one, still the nuphy 75? I'm looking for a TKL or 75%, wireless mechanical keyboard, but ideally I want it non-bluetooth like this one for the better latency. Thanks for any help!
Nobody seems to say this, but I've observed after a few hours of use that the keyboard bends. In your video, I see how the keyboard is not stable when typing. I returned two keyboards, not one, because of this and ordered myself the Nuphy Air75. MX mechanical mini is just not worth the price for the battery life and polished software.
how are you finding the Air75? Thinking of getting it as a first mechanical keyboard. Either that or the Keychron K3. I'm not super interested in modding or anything, just want something that is good as is and will last
@@Megan-vb9ze , I have both the Keychron K3 v2 and Nuphy Air 74. From a typing experience is subjective because I like both. What Nuphy has as an advantaje is the wireless receiver and standard low profile gateron switches where you can grab anywhere.
Thank you for the awesome video. Ah, I keep forgetting about some keycaps showing wear and shine really soon... my current Logitech K780 keyboard has shiny worn out keycaps which annoys me because I can't get rid of the shine no matter how much I clean my keyboard, the keys are worn. Screws up with people with slight OCD such as myself.
The keycaps are a big disappointment. I have a G915 TKL that i'm using since last couple of years, which also has abs keycaps. I think G915 keycaps are even wobblier than MX mini. Every couple of months I find myself searching for a better alternative, but never find any. Don't know why logitech can't give a pbt keycap option. Nuphy Air75 looks promising - but people have complained about it's batter life, so i have not opted for it yet.
What about NuPhy Air 75's battery? Can we use it for like 2 weeks consecutivelly without charging? please someone shares your experience. Appreciate that :))
How did you feel about the super-fast backlight timeout? I've reached out to Logitech and they agree the fast timeout is unacceptable. It's not clear if/when there will be a feature added to Options+ to adjust the backlight. I returned the MX Mechanical and MX Keys both for the same reason. It's a major design flaw that hinders usability and ruins the experience if you work in a dim or dark room.
@@bernie3075 Unfortunately, that is incorrect. If you leave it plugged in, it will occasionally just remain lit for a very long time, but it's not consistent and appears to be a glitch. The first one I bought would spontaneously start flashing on and off, on and off, while I was not using it. It was bright enough in a dark room to wake me up in the middle of the night. So, even though this is a premium product, in addition to the glaring design oversights there is some question about quality control and thoroughness of the firmware development.
@@WheelerLaw I do that. But I also find that if I just rest my hand on it, but my hand is still for some time, then it won't keep the light on AND it feels like the keyboard is less responsive to that hand. I need to move my hand away and then bring it back to trigger the lighting. This is due to the distinction between touch-sensitive, motion-sensitive, and proximity-sensitive.
I wish the "Fn" had been on the left side, after the "CTRL" key. I know it's not the standard but having the "ALT" a bit more to the right (due to the "Fn" key being on the left) makes ALT based key combinations more comfortable
Why is keyboard battery life a thing to consider so seriously, especially when the keyboard is used at home setup where everyone usually has power sockets/usb hubs and chargers? For me it has never been an issue after I switched from Magic Keyboard which is as well known for its amazing battery life. I mean yeah probably it's good for any keyboard to have that much battery life as MK or this one has, but what's the problem just to put a cable in when needed and continue working when speaking about the K3 of Air 75, which are in every other aspect better than this thing? Connecting a cable is anyway a matter of seconds and you can even speed it up a little if you get a magnetic type с adapter.
U are right if u only work at home. But if u are at home , just build the keyboard , way better value and typing experience. Mx mini for me is just a travel keyboard I carry around if I need to type a lot that day at office/school
I find it very annoying to having to charge a keyboard often. With this it's just once a year or so, and I can avoid having a charging cable out and ready
Big selling point here for us in the EU is that you can get AZERTY, UK, ... unlike Nuphy, Keychron and so on. So thank you Logitech. At last a maker who realizes US is not the center of the world.
This is an awful keyboard. Its problems: 1. It can only be used wirelessly, the cable is strictly for charging. Therefore, the other faults I am about to list are insurmountable. 2. It frequently loses connection over bluetooth in the middle of typing, with two different computers that work just fine with other bluetooth keyboards. 3. It will automatically put itself to sleep after a brief period of not typing, and will take a few second to wake up. 4. It does not support the old unifying adapter, it requires the new "Bolt" unifier. 5. It does not come with a bolt unifier. The key switches themselves were relatively nice, if a little firm compared to my usual browns. But with the firmware and bluetooth chipset being so utterly worthless, and no way to directly connect it over USB-C, it is going back to the manufacturer. Logitech phoned this one in.

I mean yeah probably it's good for any keyboard to have that much battery life as MK or this one has, but what's the problem just to put a cable in when needed and continue working when speaking about the K3 of Air 75, which are in every other aspect better than this thing?
Connecting a cable is anyway a matter of seconds and you can even speed it up a little if you get a magnetic type с adapter.
U are right if u only work at home. But if u are at home , just build the keyboard , way better value and typing experience. Mx mini for me is just a travel keyboard I carry around if I need to type a lot that day at office/school
I find it very annoying to having to charge a keyboard often. With this it's just once a year or so, and I can avoid having a charging cable out and ready
Thanks for the review. I couldn’t find any other reviews that covered the latency of the board.
A keyboard for adults. Love it.
NuPhys battery is unacceptable.
There were a couple discounts on it recently which brought it down by $50 so I think at that discount it's worth it.
The battery life is unreal
Big selling point here for us in the EU is that you can get AZERTY, UK, ... unlike Nuphy, Keychron and so on. So thank you Logitech.
At last a maker who realizes US is not the center of the world.
I don't get the target market for this one. If I'm into mechanical kb, I'll most likely go for the G series.

Cool
El Keychron K3 es infinitamente mejor.
Cheap clickbait, irrelevant opinion
First
This crap DOES NOT WORK WIRED.
This is an awful keyboard. Its problems:
1. It can only be used wirelessly, the cable is strictly for charging. Therefore, the other faults I am about to list are insurmountable.
2. It frequently loses connection over bluetooth in the middle of typing, with two different computers that work just fine with other bluetooth keyboards.
3. It will automatically put itself to sleep after a brief period of not typing, and will take a few second to wake up.
4. It does not support the old unifying adapter, it requires the new "Bolt" unifier.
5. It does not come with a bolt unifier.
The key switches themselves were relatively nice, if a little firm compared to my usual browns. But with the firmware and bluetooth chipset being so utterly worthless, and no way to directly connect it over USB-C, it is going back to the manufacturer. Logitech phoned this one in.
ok then dont
Who forced you to?
