Logitech MX Mechanical

The Logitech MX Mechanical is a great office-based mechanical keyboard for anyone looking to take their work setup to a new level. It’s well built, features great-feeling tactile switches and excellent battery life. Just watch out for the lack of software-based customisation, which may be a deal breaker for some, especially considering the high price.

Logitech finally serves up office workers a mechanical keyboard from its own stable. The wireless, low-profile MX Mechanical is a winner, offered in two sizes with three switch types.

This is a fantastic keyboard and worth getting if it’s in your price range. Over the past week, I’ve written around 15,000 words on it, and the only issues I had were the kind of typos you always get when switching to a new keyboard and a Bluetooth connectivity issue that turned out to be my phone’s fault.

In the MX Mechanical, Logitech adds another thoughtfully-designed peripheral to its Master Series portfolio. It's rare to find a non-gaming keyboard these days that offer as much sizing and key switch options as this, making it easy to recommend for professional and casual users alike. For how much hardware you're getting with these keyboards, though, you'll have to pay up to reap the benefits.

The Logitech MX Mechanical and MX Mechanical Mini offer a great typing experience, fantastic software and the ability to switch among three devices. However, if you’re not committed to Logi Flow or the Logitech ecosystem, there are more affordable options with similar functionality.

I would not consider this board at its full price of $169.99 unless staying in the Logitech ecosystem is your utmost concern. While it has some redeemable qualities, the uncomfortable typing experience this board offers is not worth Smart Illumination and a long battery life in my mind.

The Logitech MX Mechanical is a great keyboard for productivity and gaming — sporting excellent switches, a sustainable and utilitarian design, and strong battery life.

Finally, a mechanical keyboard that’ll fit in at the office and won’t blind you with RGB lighting. The MX Mechanical is pricey, but has fantastic battery life and is quiet enough not to annoy your deskmates.
