The keys are weighted just right, and they almost never bottomed out and hit the low point of the mechanism.
The MX Keys is super-comfortable to use, and I felt right at home almost immediately. Logitech estimates the MX Keys will last 10 days on a single charge with the backlighting on, or up to five months with it off. It features a clever backlighting system that uses an ambient light sensor to detect whether you actually need the backlighting - and if you do, how strong it should be. Although the regular MX Keys was designed for both Windows and MacOS, using split markings on some keys, the MX Keys for Mac avoids the confusion and gives you the standard Mac layout you’re already familiar with.īut there is much more to it than just a Mac layout. That includes Control, Option, and Command keys. It comes in a space gray and black color scheme to match Apple’s aesthetic tastes, as well as a proper Mac layout. The MX Keys is a full-size keyboard with a numeric keypad and extra function keys on the right. It’s a neat idea, though, and a handy addition nonetheless. The horizontal scroll wheel has some genius applications (side-scrolling in spreadsheets or increasing the brush size in Photoshop, for example), and some that feel a bit more average (zooming in on word processor documents comes to mind). For example, the scroll wheel that automatically switches from ratchet clicks to free-flowing spins if you start scrolling quickly. Outside of setting up your own custom gestures, accessing Mission Control from the mouse is something we have only seen on Apple’s own Magic Mouse.Īfter spending a week or so with the mouse, I grew to love some of its more clever features. This is a great example of a company really understanding how the Mac works - including its pain points - and then crafting an accessory based on that knowledge.
For example, you can hold it and swipe up for Mission Control, mirroring the MacOS trackpad gesture.
Hold it down and swipe the mouse to one side and it will perform a native Mac function. One of its best features is the gesture control button located just below where your thumb rests. There are also a range of predefined app-specific shortcuts that take advantage of Mac behaviors. It has a few new features, though, including improved Bluetooth connectivity and a space gray color scheme. The MX Master 3 for Mac has many of the same features as the regular MX Master 3, including its horizontal scroll wheel and ergonomic shape. But do these Apple-specific versions make for the ultimate Mac accessories? Logitech MX Master 3 for Mac These were already fantastic Logitech peripherals.
