I have the mx keys mini, and I want to emphasize to anyone watching this, that being able to reprogram the buttons on top is insanely useful. When I was interning as a CS student last summer, I programmed the keys to execute different terminal commands, it was insanely useful!
Thank you adam for the comprehensive video. I came in well informed but i was able to make up my mind with the details fo the video. The world needs comparison videos.
I am here because I have just purchased my new Magic Keyboard and I must say, well worth my money because I absolutely love pairing it to my iPAD Air 2022
When comparing the magic keyboard and the original one in MacBook laptops, this is a big difference. After using the keyboard of Apple laptops, it is impossible to use the magic keyboard. A particularly problem is the empty space above the arrows. It is impossible to work with touch typing, you constantly need to look, it is very uncomfortable! I bought MX Keys keyboard after Magic
You can use an Apple Magic Keyboard on a Mac and iPad if you have Universal Control turned on by moving your cursor off screen to the iPad but that's dependent on having your Mac running I suppose. It's a bummer that there is no multi device support but I suppose Apple wants people to buy their ridiculously expensive magsafe keyboard for their iPads specifically.
I am here because I bought the MX mini for emt , my school was only 4 months long and my keyboard stopped working yesterday when I took it to school in my backpack , 3 months in it stopped working . My MX keys mini Bluetooth stopped working , it says it takes too long to pair . MX keys was badass and I liked it up until it broke 3 months of use , and I treated it good , just didn’t have a case for it . I guess my heavy book pushed the plastic internals or some dumb shit and made it stop working
I just wonder if the new USB-C Apple magic keyboard would work connected with cable to PC and alternatively with Bluetooth connected to the Mac? I would like to use it during the office hours connected with cable to my PC, but in the weekends and afternoons connected to my MacBook Air.
Has anyone put rubber feet on the magic keyboard to lift it a little? I would think it’ll help a bit on your wrist when typing. They don’t cost much at all
i'm wondering if i have two macbooks: one with intel i5 processor (2019) and second one: with m2 pro chip, than will i be able to pair apple magic keyboard with those two computers? I've found in specification, that brand new apple magic keyboard is compatibile with mac books m1 and newer.
i would like to know 2 things please: - which one has better bluetooth signal - which one has faster response (ms) to play some competitive games on windows. I already have the apple keyboard and its good at this point
i dont know i am ejoying tying on apple magic keyboard i can typemuch faster on this keyboard then the mx keys mini and also more accurately i really dont know why is this hapening
okay, my magic keyboard stopped working and now I need to buy a new one, I love the comfort of unlocking my macbook with the touch ID from keyboard, I keep my laptop closed, if I get logitech keyboard, how can I unlock my macbook?
I've been an apple fan boy for too long. This expanded into their accessories which are admittedly all garbage with the exception of the newer pencil for iPad. It was only in 2023 that i started playing with third party accessories. I was obsessed with having all peripherals match the same aesthetic. Now in 2024 i say "Fu%$ that". The MX Keys mini + MX Pro 3 are the best transition to better ergonomics, tactility and performance for us diehard applediots. Please give these a shot, within a week you'll un-see any magic in Apple's versions.
i dont want to use bluetooth , can mx work as wired keyboard by not unplugging the cable? edit: nevermind / for the same price id rather get apple keyboard
@ They need to fire Tim Cook. It’s pathetic at Apple today. Software is buggy and issues like this keyboard go on Ana on and on. He’s missing at the wheel.

Did you miss f1-f3?
@@adamtalkstech naaa lol, also if u need the keyboard has a way to let you use them, you need to activate the function row.
but you can control brightness in logi plus software
Thank you adam for the comprehensive video. I came in well informed but i was able to make up my mind with the details fo the video. The world needs comparison videos.
Thanks I've got more planned. I don't like to tell someone what they need to buy, I like to let people pick based on the features and cons.

Great Video. You answered every question I had and didn't waste anytime. Much appreciated. Great job!

No Backlit, is a big disappointment in This Price segment

That is so frustrating, sorry to hear that!

One problem I found with the mx keys mini is that I can't remap the fn key because it doesn't get recognized on macos
Weird, I haven’t messed with that.
Really well balanced review, well done!

Is there backlight on apple keyboard how do I turn it on
No backlight on any of the Apple wireless keyboards.
Thank you for this comparison!
04:00 the more flat the keyboard is it's actually more comfortable for your wrist.
I’ve not found this to be the case for me but may just be personal preference.
The more flat the keyboard the more looks like cheap keyboard sold by Apple for 2x price rip-off ;)
thanks. appreciate the comparison
I fint Magic keyboard much more pleasurable to type on. I have both.
I guess everyone is different :)
Nicely done
Thanks for the visit

Yes you can go back and forth using the lightning cable, the one with touch ID just won't allow you to use touch ID on the 2019 I believe.
On my iPad pro the logitech keyboard often loses its pairing and repairing it once an hour makes using this infuriating
Wow that is annoying. I've not had any issues with that happening.
@@adamtalkstech I went and purchased the Apple keyboard, without touch ID and have never encountered this issue, not once…
Such a great video. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
How is the keyboard layout? Is the spacing between keys any different? I do have M1 Air, but MX keys mini also seems nice.
Spacing is very close, any differences are minimal.
@@adamtalkstech Thank you for answer :) also a good video, it was nice to watch.
i would like to know 2 things please:
- which one has better bluetooth signal
- which one has faster response (ms) to play some competitive games on windows. I already have the apple keyboard and its good at this point
3 new ones this year - all had faults
Can the Logitech MX be connected to a PC and Mac and toggle between the two? Or can it only connect to various Apple devices?
Yes you can do both types.
what about the battery performance? how long the magic keyboard can be use until it's drop?
I’ve lost track of how many years I’ve had mine and it still works great.
Logitech mini keys.. all is black...where i can get in this color?
www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=logitech+mx+keys+mini+black&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 B& H has it in all black right now
i dont know i am ejoying tying on apple magic keyboard i can typemuch faster on this keyboard then the mx keys mini and also more accurately i really dont know why is this hapening
In which keyboard did you typed this comment?
@ blackberry key 2

You just need to make sure that wake with bluetooth is allowed. Then you will type your password in.
Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID does the id woks with ipad ?
please reply
No

I know what you mean. I’ve switched over completely on the computer side
Which is better for iPad Pro?
Logitech if you’re going to use it with a mac as well and apple keyboard if you will only use it with the iPad.
Always Logitech for functionality & ergonomics
How do you get around losing out on Touch ID for easy login?
either use laptop keyboard, or don't have it :(
Apple Watch unlocks MacBook and payments, if you have one.
Logitech MX is much better, the only thing it missed is the Touch ID :(
True that. Sometimes I reach over to my laptop keyboard for touch ID!
i dont want to use bluetooth , can mx work as wired keyboard by not unplugging the cable?
edit:
nevermind / for the same price id rather get apple keyboard
It can’t be wired. Has to be Bluetooth.
If you don’t have Touch ID, you can still use stored passwords….it doesn’t mean you have to manually type passwords, right? Am I missing something?
It doesn’t matter. I’m not buying an Apple keyboard until they have space black.
That could definitely move the needle.

Do I have your permission to watch this video free of charge?
Yes you do.
Does this guy have any other facial expressions other than the 1?
Nope, just the one unfortunately

Apple is 100 times better. Logitech is to plastic and that is that.
So you have both right😂
