I mean both are cool, but in my humble opinion, for that amount of money, I believe that each kit should in fact respectably come WITH the matching mouse.
agreed, and its crazy the pebblekeys doesnt even have a backlight, i could get a £30 keyboard off amazon with all the same features and get an led show
I never comment on youtube videos, but I got to say Adam, you make some killer reviews dawg. Definitely got a sub out of me, ordered an mx keys for myself and a few coworkers and they love them! Thank you very much!
Nicely done review. I wanted a keyboard for my Samsung tablet that I barely touched in over 2 years I've had it. Onscreen keyboard is just useless for me. So I just picked up a Pebbles 2 keyboard & mouse combo pack for $50 at Target. Love it so far & I haven't used a keyboard for over 8 years since I retired 😅! My job for 36 years was typing & I have no problem with the round keys. But I just wanted to be able to do web browsing, occasional email, & see my photos on something other than my phone (which has been my only computer). As a casual user, it's all I need. I love the compact size, the price, & the mouse works fine too.
Personal experience from someone who owns both keyboards, and I work in development, spending 10 hours a day on the computer. Today, I prefer Peeble. The visibility of the keys is much clearer and cleaner (the MX Keys can sometimes be a bit confusing in that regard). Additionally, the Peeble has the great advantage of being battery-powered. I don't like devices with built-in batteries because, aside from having a shorter lifespan, their efficiency worsens over time. When problems arise, it’s often easier to discard them than to repair them. With batteries, besides having greater durability, I don't have to worry about frequent recharging (I currently charge the MX Keys about once a month). In the case of Peeble, I just swap the batteries for fully charged rechargeable ones, and they last MUCH longer.
@@vishalvishwakarma3232 To be honest, I felt it a bit during the first few days, but then I got used to it. Today, both my MX Keys and my Magic Keyboard (Mac) are broken, and wow-after years (I’d stashed the Magic Keyboard in a drawer and hadn’t used it since switching from my MacBook to my Galaxy Book), I’m realizing how amazing the Magic Keyboard really is. I'm considering taking it to a repair shop and going back to using it, even though I'm now on Windows. I really wish there was something comparable to it for Windows, but I haven’t found anything.
Thank you for your work comparing the two, really appreciate it as it just so happens that I have been considering the two of them to go with my M11 tablet.^^
@@jeanrodriguez6423 Went for the Mini X because it felt better to type on. Very early days, and a completely new board, so I'm hitting wrong keys on more than one occasion but happy to report no complaints what so ever.
Had the Mx Keys Mini. Really liked it, but found it very pricey, and it is on the heavier side. The heaviness is quite nice if you want something sturdy, but not great if you're traveling constantly. Also, the pebble 2 has batteries, which sounds like a drawback, but seeing how batteries degrade overtime, I think it's an advantage. Getting my Pebble 2 today, hoping to be happy with it.
@@vishalvishwakarma3232 Square keys are better, at least to me. I got the Pebble Keys 2, and, while nice, you can see the price difference with the MX Key Mini. It's more plasticky, and you feel less confident while typing. If you need a keyboard for continuous, regular use, get the MX Keys Mini. If you want something to use every now and then, the pebble does the trick.
@@picdu2891 I am talking about general case, be it logitech or any other cheap brand. I like the pebble keyboard but since it has round keys, I'm not sure if I'll like it as I've been typing on my inbuilt keyboard. My main purpose is to know if there's any issue when shifting to rounded built keys from square keys regardless of brand.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I have been using pebble keys 2 and mx mini started to call me to buy it. I was wondering if that amount of money worths for typing experience since I am very comfortable with pebble 2. It is obvious that back light and key shapes are the biggest difference. So I decided to remain on pebble 2.
@@jeromeyoung4782 yes, it is the smoothest keyboard ever I used. Before that I have used Logitech k860 and other conventional keyboards. But pebble 2 is far better than all of them when the topic is typing. I am not a game person so I don't know the performance on games.
Thank you for your review. I am trying for two days to find how to operate F9 key. It does not allow to save the snip. In they instructions they stated ""Does nothing or prints 'S'". I tried pressing S, and it did nothing. BTW, their chat line is useless, there is no live agent available. I hope you can answer my question.
Excellent Comparison👏 I hv humble question👉 which Keyboard better & why for Samsung Tablet S9 Ultra Peeble keys 2 K380s Vs Just Newly Launch Keys to Go 2? Don't use Computor. Want for non professional work only. Thank You 🙏 Always Stay Safe 🙏
I have both these keyboards, the MX Keys Mini is my favourite keyboard of all time. The Pebble Keys is just junk. For the record I'm a software developer and spend 10 hours a day on the keyboard.
Das Tastenerlebnis ist in der Tat sehr gut. Allerdings finde ich diese intelligente Hintergrundbeleuchtung extrem nervig. Kaum hört man auf zu tippen, schaltet sie sich aus. Auch wenn die Finger auf den Tasten ruhen, schaltet sie sich aus. Näherungssensor funktioniert nur mäßig, wenn gar nicht. Es gibt keine Option, mit der man die Zeitspanne bis zum automatischen Ausschalten der Hintergrundbeleuchtgung einstellen kann. In Situationen mit wenig Licht, wo man auf Hintergrundbeleuchtung angewiesen ist, echt nervig, wenn man in einer Gedankenpause sich immer wieder neu orientieren muss, wo die Tasten sind, weil die Beleuchtung aus ist.
Hey bro, would you kindly tell me whuch one is easy to type on? I'm hoping to upgrade my keyboard because the keys are very hard to type on and require me to press a bit hard.
Pebble 2 keyboards aren't that great . They easily break. myself and my 2 cousins we've purchased a brand new one (each one of us) from different vendors and some keys have miserably failed after less that 1 year of usage . So all 3 of us are back to square one trying to buy a proper keyboard and obviously avoid having the same bad experience . So is the mini any better ?
Great video! Regarding Pebble - are the mouse and keyboard syncronized? Ie, is it enough to simply change the device on the keyboard (so the mouse change to the same device automagically)? So you don't have to click on the button that is UNDER the mouse, which disrupts the work flow for me.
if you are switching between 2 computers, you can install Options+ on both and use Flow. So when you move your cursor from one computer to the other also the KB will follow. You can also transfer files like that: just by dragging them from one computer to the other. PC to PC, PC to MAC, etc.
I want the MX Keys Mini or MX Mechanical Mini (haven't decided yet) to use in the office with a PC. But I prefer simple mouse, so can I use the Pebble mouse with one of those?
Dude this review was perfect. Easy conversational tone and pace but top tier video quality. Please keep it up in this style. Instant sub.
Wow thank you so much! Kind words

Very interesting thoughts. I just got the new pop icon keys and I'm looking forward to comparing those to these as well.
@@adamtalkstech I’ll definitely follow this review. Great content, I subscribed to your channel. Cheers.
Does circular keys on pebble cause any issue while typing for those who have been typing on square keys?

@@jeanrodriguez6423 Only use it with the tablet, and only use the tablet for specific periods so getting a full verdict from me might take some time.
Good comparison, these 2 are very similar. Another set is MX Keys vs K580.
I haven’t checked the k580 out but I need to.
great review. I will get the pebble one.

Are Pebble 2 and MX mini all plastic? I'm allergic to metals, so it's important to me.
The round keycaps just don't do it for me no matter how hard I try.
Totally fair. they are a little different to get used to
I really love your content so much
Thanks for watching!!
What bluetooth version do they use?
I have both these keyboards, the MX Keys Mini is my favourite keyboard of all time. The Pebble Keys is just junk. For the record I'm a software developer and spend 10 hours a day on the keyboard.
I wouldn’t call the pebble junk but the Mx keys definitely destroys it. Mostly just a different market of consumer.

It would be nice to be able to leave it on.
Ja. Du hast recht. Ich verstehe was du sagst. Ich lese ein bisschen Deutsch. Es tut mir leid fur meine schlechte (schlechtes?) grammatik.
can you please try the asus marshmallow scissor switch keyboard and compare it with pebble keys 2
Hey bro, would you kindly tell me whuch one is easy to type on? I'm hoping to upgrade my keyboard because the keys are very hard to type on and require me to press a bit hard.
Mx keys mini
@@adamtalkstech Thank you!
I have a Logi bolt reciever that came with my MX Master 3S. Can i use that to connect to a K380S?
Yes! :)
Is the pebble one good for 8 hours of typing work?
No. You want mx keys mini for that.

Sorry to hear that. Mini is definitely higher quality and I think has a metal board on inside.

No, that is one of the weird flaws of Logitech

Can I link and switch three usb bolt to not use the bluetooth
No I don’t think so
I sometimes like to type with my wireless keyboard on my lap, would the MX Keys Mini feel uncomfortable since the back of the keyboard is not flat?
No, I think it is more comfortable personally.
I want the MX Keys Mini or MX Mechanical Mini (haven't decided yet) to use in the office with a PC. But I prefer simple mouse, so can I use the Pebble mouse with one of those?
Yup totally can!!
@@adamtalkstech Thank you! Great, on-point videos, and you are responsive! Subscribed. Good luck
Can I use the Pebble keyboard with MX Master 3s mouse together?
yes u can
backlight bleeding from the front row is terrible on the mx keys mini
I’ve never noticed or
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome!
Which one is lighter weight?
Pebble
Its just a 50g difference
