@@RajanKannan11 I went for MX Keys regular size as the same was available at 30% lower on Amazon renewed option.

Honestly, you made a clear argument that the MX Mini is clearly the winner. The Apple keyboard has several shortcomings that were innovatively integrated into the keyboard: the backlight function, long-lasting charge, & ergonomically better. I am a minimalist but, I am also a maximalist. I need the best bang for the EDC or just all my devices. Sounds like the MX Mini is better.
As a user of mechanical keyboards, electrocapacitive keyboards, membrane scissor mechanism and more, the apple magic keyboard does not compare with anything in terms of experience, it is just perfect, perfect sound, perfect acuation force, simple, minimal, timeless, it is simply incredible.
@@sebastiancanoncastellanos4409My magic keyboard just died (coffee 😢). It has been so good to me as a real writer -- the best ever -- it is hard for me to not get another. Yet, the Logitech price has gone down and now there are bluetooth keyboard available for less than $30.
I've been hammering away at a Magic Keyboard I borrowed and found typing surprisingly satisfying. However the cursor keys to the bottom right is too small and I end up pressing "shift" instead of "up" many times. The MX cursor keys (may) have a better layout (the "up" key still sits close to the "shift" but is left empty to either side which may help feel like the "up" button for the user). That's possibly the only downside I find on the Magic Keyboard.
I went for the MX Keys Mini but didn't like the Fn key layout - some of the Apple Fn were not there. So I returned it and bought the Full size MX Keys for Mac and I love it, slightly heavier but has all the Fn keys in the correct place plus some extras. Weight wis a bit heavier, but as I use an iMac, then that is not an issue. the weight keeps the keyboard from slipping, even on shiny smooth surfaces. Toped that off with ditching the tendon straining magic mouse for a M720 - belissimo.
In the past I have had to purchase 2 Apple magic keyboards because they keep failing as well as 2 magic trackpads as well. the keys get stuck all the time. Enough. I bought the Logitech MX keyboard and the MX Master 3 mouse for my mouse and I have had it for over a year. No problems, except that often times the Mac will come out of sleep mode.
I have both. I think you're underestimating the difference in feel, which only becomes more pronounced the more you sue them. MX Keys is like typing on a pillow. Magic Keyboard is like typing on metal. MX Keys does feel a bit slower to type on though. But still worth it for the overall softer feel.
Hey there! Based on the article title and the comment you mentioned, it seems like you're looking for recommendations on PC building and desktop setup optimization. While the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule may not directly relate to that, I can assure you that it's a great tool for keeping your desk and other spaces clean and organized. It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it a versatile device for maintaining a spotless environment. Plus, it has some really cool features like a brushless motor and long-lasting battery. I think it's definitely worth considering for your overall tech setup! Let me know if you have any other questions or need further assistance. Happy tech-ing!
Hi Dion. Thanks for this video. I have one question please. I definitely prefer the look of the Magic keyboard and think it will be perfect to use with my MacBook Air. I use a windows laptop for work however, and not sure if I will be able to use the Magic Keyboard for this also, or if anything I need to know. Please let me know your thoughts? Thanks, Michael
Hi Michael, if you switch between two devices and especially if it is between an Apple and a window, I would go for the MX Keys Mini. It has easier functionalities to cope with switching.
@@DionMedia Thanks Dion. It would be a case of switching devices, but not regularly throughout day. I.e. I would use my work one most of day, and my personal one at the weekends and some evenings. Is it really difficult to switch using the magic keyboard? Thanks again. I appreciate your time
I would love to use the apple magic keyboard but I think it's a horrible decision when used on multiple devices, especially when switching between windows (private) and macos (homeoffice). What's your opinion?
Hi, thanks for your comment! It's difficult when switching between Windows and MacOS as the keyboard can only have function keys specific to one OS. Though when it comes to using multiple devices, the MX Keys Mini will be the better option since you can quickly switch between devices using the integrated shortcut keys, will be more convenient than the Magic Keyboard. Let me know if you have any further questions!
i have all three generations of the magic keyboard and recently picked up the mx keys for mac and it is my favorite keyboard of all i've ever owned. I spent nearly $300 on a Das 4 mechanical with a usb-c and audio input on it with blank keycaps and i prefer the typing experience on the mx keys to the Das. I really enjoy my brother's keychron, too, but I really enjoy the feel of the mx keys, again, I'm running the mac specific mx keys (full sized). Either way, they're all pretty nice keyboards.

Apprently the white version of the Mx keys makes it hard to read the letters with the backlight on. The dark version should be better to see what letters you are tipping. Not mentioned in the test unfortunately.
I have used Thinkad T480, P1Gen2 and Macbook magic keyboards (both on laptops and wireless) and I found the MX mini to be the superior typing experience. One can pair the Mac with the best feature of a Thinkpad, the excellent keyboard. MX mini, having an 1,8mm travel, feels identical to my P1Gen2.

I bought the MX keys mini (Graphite color) for using with my MacBook while it's on an elevated stand and I actually ended up being quite disappointed with it. For one, I thought that I would like the graphite color because it would match my MX vertical mouse, but the problem was that because my studio room is a little bit dark, without having the backlight on (which drains battery and honestly I prefer to keep off) it was really hard to see the keys. Moreover, the MX keys paired with my MacBook proved annoying because I was no longer able to adjust the brightness on my MacBook easily with the keyboard because the computer pairing buttons are there on the keyboard in the place of the brightness buttons. So, I ended up remapping the keyboard backlighting keys to compensate, but then it basically rendered the keyboard backlight useless, which is a big feature of this keyboard. So, then I tried just making the emoji and screenshot keys to function as the brightness up and down keys instead, but that still felt confusing and unintuitive, plus I felt like I was getting rid of other semi-useful keys. So, I decided to try the apple magic keyboard instead upon watching a couple reviews (like this one!) and I liked the idea of having the brightness keys back. And after using this keyboard for a month now, I honestly very much prefer the feel of this keyboard. - I really like the quick punchy impact of these keys more than the more squishy MX keys. - I prefer having less of an upward angle (I've heard that causes more wrist strain). - I like that it's metal and yet much lighter. And even though the battery's not quite as good and there's no backlight, I think the keyboard's feel and ease of use makes up for that. I do like the idea of being able to share the MX keys with my wife's computer too if she wants to use this laptop stand, but if I were to do that, I would definitely buy a white colored keyboard this time, and I would still be annoyed with not being able to adjust the brightness of my laptop So I just sold the MX keys mini for 90% of what I bought for. A good test run, but I think I'm not quite sold on it for my specific and picky purposes.
Hi! I have the Logitech MX Keys, but I agree typing feels squishy which isn’t really bad but I still prefer the exact feeling of typing on macbook. How is it on the Magic Keyboard?
I just bought the apple wireless keyboard. So far - zero lag and very light. I use it with my ipad. I’m moving from a logitech 10.5 combo touch case and the apple keyboard has a slightly larger layout/keys. Its also slightly deeper key presses. Its no mechanical keyboard. But a good compromise.

For touch typing, the magic keyboard is simply terrible. After the keyboard in the MacBook it is not possible to use it. In the end, wasted money. (especially if you're used to a MacBook laptop keyboard) A very big problem and this is the difference between the magic and the keyboard in a MacBook is the free space above the arrows. They can be used in touch typing on a MacBook and are completely impossible on a magic device. After 2 weeks I still haven’t gotten used to it. I bought a second keyboard MX KEYS mini for mac. And it's a pleasure. It's heavier and feels more plastic, but it's very comfortable. The layout of the buttons on MX Keys it is almost like on a MacBook Pro. No need to get used to it, you can work immediately after using your MacBook
I bought the MX Keys mini 2 days ago and I am thinking in return due the sensor problem. The backlit is turning ON by it self all the time and I found tons of people with the same problem and nothing to do. There is no firmware or answer from Logitech.
Hi, I am using windows laptop only, and wondering which is better. However, I personally prefer Apple product. Do also let me know if there's any issue with using Apple keyboard on windows laptop, thanks.
HI Allen, The Apple keyboard also works on Window laptops, but it does has some Apple specific keys, that do not work on Windows. So if you mainly work on a Windows laptop it is better to chose the Logitech Mini
Hey, you forgot to mention you can use the magic keyboard as a USB keyboard and pairing with another Mac is so easy: just plug it once. I can even access the bios on my PC with it. This also allows to overcome BT interferences in crowded environments. And when the battery depletes you can still use the magic kb while the mx keys goes to the trash. I don't understand why all other wireless keyboards won't connect over USB.
Awesome vlog, been stuck deciding between these 2 keyboards for a new setup at home . I think I will go for the magic keyboard but I will get the new model with Touch ID
I prefer the Magic Keyboard. It takes way less time to reconnect after fell into sleep mode, the Logitech one and most of other Bluetooth keyboards always struggle to reconnect.

I cannot hear that difference(good enough). Sorry but if you want more professional approach, maybe do a close mic recording on both, and do a bit more of sound test, and change from one to the other without talking, so that you can hear the difference clearly.
Hi, thanks for your comment. I can hear the difference, but I see where you are coming from. Yes, with closed shot gun mic it would have been more professional and as my channel is growing I will continue to upgrade my equipment
It is a shame that mx keys forces u to use f1 f2 f3 as switching devices, what happens if I don’t have device to switch, then those keys would be useless
I think the fact that this logitech mx mini wont work in wired mode, i wont be able to use it in the bios which is a little annoying for me because of my job. Such a shame, i guess I'll wait for a newer version that has wired capabilities
I think it can work with the usb unifying receiver. I agree though it’s stupid that it doesn’t work via usb. Same with the mx master mice. Paying $100 for a mouse that can’t be used wired
Eventhough I love everything about the Magic Keyboard/Magic Mouse 2, I ended up trading mine for a MX Keys Mini/Anywhere because I have not enough money to afford an iMac on desktop meaning that I had to choose a multi-device set to minimalize my work space.
