The Logitech MX Mechanical Wireless Keyboard is a game-changer for anyone who spends long hours typing. The tactile quiet switches strike the perfect balance between a satisfying keypress and minimal noise, making it ideal for both work and casual use.The illuminated keys are a standout feature, providing excellent visibility in low-light conditions without being too harsh on the eyes. The wireless functionality is seamless, with quick and reliable connectivity that enhances the overall user experience.Build quality is top-notch—the keyboard feels solid and well-made, and the slim design adds a modern, professional touch to any setup. Battery life is impressive, lasting for days on a single charge even with regular use.Whether you’re using it for programming, writing, or general productivity, this keyboard is a fantastic choice. I don't know why I didn't upgrade sooner because the strain on my wrists/forearms and fingers have subsided. I also purchased the MX Master 3s mouse which makes a great set.

First off, let me be clear I'm reviewing a standard UK keyboard, just as pictured on the listing (as of September 2022). The enter key is the "tall" two row height you'd expect on any other UK keyboard. I mention this because other reviews seemed to expect something different!I'd been looking for a "professional" mechanical keyboard for a long while when this was announced. I'd tried various competitors, but none of them had quite the right mix of features. My former daily driver was the regular Logitech MX Keyboard. That was great, but I wanted mechanical to have greater key travel and tactile feedback.The MX Mechanical has a very solid feel, on account of the metal in the chassis. It's low profile, with height adjustable feet. It feels premium, without being flashy.I really like the keyboard being equipped with Windows and Mac style key markings. This is really useful with the "quick switch" function, where you can use the keyboard with three devices, switching between them with just a single key press. This allows me to quickly switch from my work machine to my iPad, which I use for personal emails, etc. More generally, the shortcut keys on the top row enhance productivity nicely, e.g. the screenshot button, mic mute for Teams calls, calculator launch. There's a key to lock your screen if you need to walk away.You can connect using bluetooth or the Logitech RF USB dongle. It's worth using the dongle and the Logitech Options+ software to get the most out of the keyboard.For battery life I get at least a month of use with the backlight sometimes on. I'm sure it could go longer, but I'll usually throw it on to charge on a Friday evening. The backlight has three brightness levels, and it's a clean white light. It's not too over powering in the dark, even on the brightest settings.

The only reason I ain't giving 5 stars is the sheer cost of the thing.Maybe that's unfair as my mindset is still stuck in 2000 prices when I paid £30 for a keyboard and mouse which still work, but overall I'm super happy with it.I wanted a mechanical keyboard as I wanted that tactile feel, which you defiantly get without it being too clacky and loud, it's just right. It's wireless and the backlighting is great, if this had fingerprint built in it would be perfect.The fact you can customise all the buttons is great, the software is really simple and quick, mind I've not used it for the keyboard as everything is set out as I'd expect (coming from a mac magic keyboard). I did use the software for the mouse though and having copy-paste configured on quick buttons has been awesome so can say the software works well.I would consider the negative reviews and take them with a pinch of salt, as complaints of no print screen button etc seem a bit odd to me as I don't really know anyone who uses print screen over shift+cmd+4 for snipping just what you need, you can always shift+cmd+3 for full screen or you can use the software to remap buttons to whatever you want so anyway.If you want a mechanical keyboard but also want wireless, I think (as you can see from all reviews) this is the one.I was on the fence about getting it over a new magic keyboard, but after years on Apple's super low profile keys I realised I wasn't actually very comfortable using it, if I'm honest I was getting Apples keyboard just cos I knew it would work and looks nice. Happy to report this has worked flawlessly out of the box, I haven't used anything other than Bluetooth and setup took about 1 minute. It looks dare I say it, nicer on my desk as well! Its lovely to use and I'm super happy I switched.So if you have the money you will be really happy going with this.

I got this keyboard because I wanted to change over to wireless and because of my gaming background (not so much these days) I have always used mechanical keyboards. This keyboard is just lovely. Love the feel, love the look, battery lasts forever and ta-da… I’m wireless now… much tidier. I actually have turned the backlight off because I can touch type just fine and the light only distracts me. I also have the Logitech MX Anywhere 3S mouse which goes very well with it. Very pleased.

I did think hard about plonking down €200 euros for a keyboard in this day and age. I use a mac and the "cool white keyboard" that comes with them might look well, buts it's definitely a case of style over function. This Logi MX keyboard is a joy to type on compared to any other keyboard I have used in years. Lovely mechanical full travel keys with a comforting click :-) My typing accuracy has improved substantially !!! It has the feel of something that will last a long time.
