Logitech MX Keys vs Apple Magic Keyboard 2?

[Melodist]

Hi,

 

I've been looking at buying a new wireless keyboard and concluded my search with the MX Keys and the Apple Magic Keyboard.

 

I really gravitate towards the mx keys because of it's wireless dongle feature which is a lot more consistent than bluetooth (I remember having troublesome issues with using the Apple Magic Keyboard via Bluetooth), blacklight and overall probably more comfort when typing.

 

However, using a 60% keyboard on a regular basis, the full design of the MX keys is really putting me off.

 

Can you help me to figure out which one to get?

Please check out Azio HERE and you'll thank me later. Honestly though for the experience of typing and how the keys handle these are far better.

I feel that mechs wasn't a big part of their search. so yes, but if we have to go mech for me the wireless option would be corsair. Now that's just opinion though and to each their own.

Well, I've tried to go for something that is more universal and less of a "mechanical keyboard" even though I owned a KDBfans slim profile keyboard with silent red switches.

 

I do like the fact that the Apple Magic Keyboard or Mx keys are very light and easy to put on and off your desk, I just wish the mx keys came with a 60% version.

 

I suppose I was looking for something slim, wireless and something that doesn't take up too much space. The only upsight from using the mx key is that it is not clunky and you can easily stow it away but it is hard to use a full size keyboard again when going 60% and the last thing I'd want is atually to get the apple keyboard.

I figured you were going for that, that's why I didn't really recommend a mech wireless. In terms of durability and longevity please go with the MX honestly, yes the look can be a bit off putting but they are still enjoyable. Now if you decide neither then check out the Azio boards I mentioned you might really love those.

I wasn't judging your choice of keyboard, more twistedapple's choice. The ones he suggested are not only the complete opposite of what you want, but even if you wanted a mech, they are terrible, overpriced junk.

 

 

imo both the Apple and the Logitech you are considering are good keyboards. It's up to you.
