I didn't want to review this keyboard... | Logitech Mx Mechanical Mini 

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.

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!

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.

At 3:10 are you able to switch from the dongle to bluetooth at the touch of a button? or must it go from bluetooth to bluetooth?

@minimalistik Does the fact that the shift key is not full size lead to typing error (or be annoying in general)?

I have got a keychron K3v2, but there are some issues like the lack of a software and the input lag, I can still return it and get the MX mini, I have all logi products other than the keyboard, maybe is time to get that mini? What do you think?

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 👍🏼

hi do you know if the keycaps can be replaced with higher profile keycaps?

Comparison between the mx mechanical, Nuphy air75, AZIO cascade slim, and keychron k3

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

Any suggestion on the the better key caps I can use to replace the stock ones?

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.

i can use only one receiver with keyboard and mouse mx master?

The problem I have with these keycaps is that they get greasy and oily within a few days of use...I hate the shine on the keycaps.

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.

Thank you for talking about the usb-c only being charging. I couldn’t even get Logitech to answer that question

might be good to list the keyboards mentioned in the description as well

What are the keycaps at 02:32 ?

What's the name of that NuPhy model?

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.

How can i stop capslock backlight blink

This keyboard is not as loud as you hear in the video, I am using the brown switches unless he is using the blue switches. I wanted to add that this is the best keyboard that I have ever used and I am glad that I decided to get it.

Thanks for the review. Keys wearing out quickly means a no buy for me.

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.

Your the man for doing this video I know it was lowkey painful I returned mine not even a week in and went back to my nuphy air 60

NuPhy not available in the UK. Shame about that.

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.

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 :))

What are the other 2 keyboards @2:18?

Thanks for the review. I couldn’t find any other reviews that covered the latency of the board.

I wanted this, but it's off my budget, another option would be Keychron K3 low profile.

Sorry does this mean you can replace all the keys except the space bar?

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?

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

great keyboard, don't listen to the mechanical elitists

is this better than mx keys mini?

you forgot to mention that Nuphy’s are not shine through so you can’t see the keys in darker settings… that’s a huge point and one you glossed over.

I just gave it back after a few days and got the Keychron K1pro instead. It feels just much better.

there is no link to the keyboard you are mentioning in your conclusion.

If you aren't happy about the key caps, then you can 3D scan them and or get a model online or model them yourself to 3D print with a 3D printer.

I lovet this keyboard and have been using it for about a month. But yeah, the spacebar is starting to shine. Not a fan of that.

After a few minutes of use, that noise would annoy me (and anyone around me).

Full hipster du plateau mode activated! 😀

Hi, does it go to sleep?

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.

Option 1: logitech mx mechanical mini Option 2: logitech mc keys mini Personal use: I want to use the keyboard in public places and for programming and my studies. This means I carry the keyboard around with me and sometimes use it in quiet or public places. Note: The size is not a big deal to me, my BIGGEST question would be: Is the Logitech MX mechanical mini quiet enough to use in public or would you guys stick with the option 2 keyboard? OR any other keyboards can be recommended that you guys know would be suitable for my working style! Thanks for your answers!

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

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.

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.

The battery life is unreal

Cool

It's for normal office people who want mech kb and are not in mech kb rabbit hole. This keyboard looks boring and uniformed (a.k.a. professional), which is also a reason the IT department in companies can buy it easily.

There were a couple discounts on it recently which brought it down by $50 so I think at that discount it's worth it.

Not hot-swappable, not durable keycaps, and pricey. I’ll stick to my Keychron K3 v1. I’ve been eyeing NuPhy Air75.

A keyboard for adults. Love it. NuPhys battery is unacceptable.

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.

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.

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.

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.

First

El Keychron K3 es infinitamente mejor.

This crap DOES NOT WORK WIRED.

Who forced you to?

ok then dont

Cheap clickbait, irrelevant opinion

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.
