Full transcript

1. 0:00in this video we're going to compare the
2. 0:01Logitech MX Keys mini and the MX Keys s
3. 0:05these are two of logitech's Flagship MX
4. 0:08keyboards that both work really well on
5. 0:10Windows and Mac computers the MX Keys
6. 0:12mini is a compact keyboard and the MX
7. 0:14Keys s is a full siiz keyboard that
8. 0:16gives you a full number pad and a couple
9. 0:18extra buttons on the side the MX Keys s
10. 0:21and the MX Keys mini are both really
11. 0:23easy to type on I find them both to be
12. 0:25really comfortable to use as a Mac User
13. 0:27the keys have a good amount of travel
14. 0:29without being cumbersome and they're
15. 0:30really comfortable with a small divot in
16. 0:32each of them for holding your fingers
17. 0:34the main difference is in the function
18. 0:36keys and the number pad and the extra
19. 0:39buttons that you get on the MX Keys s
20. 0:41versus going for the smaller MX Keys
21. 0:43mini they offer a really similar Keys
22. 0:46layout but the mini has a function key
23. 0:48on the left side while the full size has
24. 0:51the function key on the right size the
25. 0:53function control command and option
26. 0:55buttons are also a little bit bigger on
27. 0:57the full-size keyboard because the
28. 0:58arrows are moved over the MX Keys mini
29. 1:01has small Arrow buttons and the MX Keys
30. 1:03s has fullsize Arrow buttons as well the
31. 1:06function buttons that Logitech gives you
32. 1:08on both of these keyboards are similar
33. 1:10but they're moved over slightly on the
34. 1:11MX Keys s and on the MX Keys mini your
35. 1:14device pairing buttons are F1 F2 and F3
36. 1:18whereas on the MX Keys s you get
37. 1:20dedicated device pairing buttons
38. 1:21Logitech lets you reprogram all the
39. 1:23different function keys on the MX Keys s
40. 1:26but on the MX Keys mini you can only
41. 1:28reprogram F4 through f 12 so you lose a
42. 1:31little bit of customization on that
43. 1:32keyboard another big difference between
44. 1:34the MX Keys s and mini is that you get a
45. 1:37calculator button the screenshot button
46. 1:39is over on the top right area you also
47. 1:41get a lookup button and you get the
48. 1:43extra buttons like insert home page up
49. 1:45down delete and end on the MX Keys s
50. 1:48that are missing from the MX Keys mini
51. 1:50so the overall feel and typing on both
52. 1:52of these keyboards is pretty much
53. 1:54identical and the battery life is the
54. 1:56same as well there's a lot of similar
55. 1:58overlap in these devices and I'd
56. 2:00encourage you to watch my reviews on the
57. 2:01MX Keys mini and the MX Keys s where I
58. 2:04reviewed them separately because I go
59. 2:06into greater detail about each of these
60. 2:07keyboards I think choosing which of
61. 2:09these keyboards really comes down to if
62. 2:11you want the fullsize arrow keys and if
63. 2:14you want the fulls sizee number pad as
64. 2:16well as if you want to have those
65. 2:17dedicated device changing buttons for me
66. 2:20I do a lot of video editing and photo
67. 2:21editing so being able to quickly get
68. 2:23from my keyboard over on my mouse is
69. 2:25important so I prefer the MX Keys mini
70. 2:28over the MX Keys s just because I don't
71. 2:30really need the number keys that much
72. 2:32but if you care more about the number
73. 2:33keys and if you want to customize your
74. 2:35keyboard more and have more of those
75. 2:36function buttons available to customize
76. 2:38with I would recommend you go ahead and
77. 2:40just buy the MX Keys s because you get
78. 2:43greater customization the MX Keys s is
79. 2:46available in graphite silver and black
80. 2:48and the MX Keys mini is available in
81. 2:51Black graphite silver and rows so you do
82. 2:54get more color options with the mini as
83. 2:56well the MX Keys mini usually goes for
84. 2:58around $100 in the MX XX Keys s goes for
85. 3:01$110 so the price is pretty comparable
86. 3:03on both of these but these are both
87. 3:05great keyboards and I don't think you're
88. 3:06going to be disappointed in the typing
89. 3:08experience on either of them you really
90. 3:10just need to ask yourself if you want
91. 3:12that extra customization or if you want
92. 3:14that compact tight-knit feel that the MX
93. 3:17Keys mini provides giving everything a
94. 3:19little bit closer reach for you when
95. 3:21you're using the keyboard if you're
96. 3:22interested in buying either these
