White keycaps aren't easy to keep clean, especially when they're ABS plastic, which is known to attract fingerprint smudges more than good PBT ones. Logitech also sells the keyboard in the same darker gray colorway that the original MX Mechanical Mini comes in (but not vice versa). The keyboard added a bright pop to my desk, and the shimmery silver metal top plate sitting atop the grayer plastic base delivered subtle pizzaz.

In a press briefing, a Logitech representative said the company was aiming to better match Apple's aesthetic. You probably also noticed that the MX Mechanical Mini for Mac comes in a whiter, brighter look than its more platform-agnostic counterpart. The MX Mechanical for Mac isn't so neutral. Its layout only includes Mac legends, making for a cleaner-looking bottom row than the original MX Mechanical Mini.Īnd unlike the original MX Mechanical Mini, the Mac version doesn't include a USB-A dongle. You could still pair the keyboard with a Logitech USB receiver purchased separately, but Logitech doesn't make a USB-C dongle for Mac users who prefer the simplicity of a dongle or the potential for less latency and don't have any USB-A ports. The bottom row includes a key that can be Option or Start/Windows and one that serves as Command or Alt. Officially, those devices can run Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Linux, Android, iOS, or iPadOS. Because of that, key legends cater to both Windows and Mac users. The portable Bluetooth LE keyboard can wirelessly connect to three devices, allowing users to pick which device they're controlling by pressing Fn and 1, 2, or 3. Logitech released the MX Mechanical Mini, a 75 percent keyboard, alongside the full-size Logitech MX Mechanical in May. It's built for a cable-free setup and has pleasant typing, but it's not a good fit for mechanical keyboard enthusiasts who like various switch options, premium keycaps, high programmability.

The Logitech MX Mechanical Mini for Mac joins a small number of mechanical keyboards that are designed for macOS, from its use of Option and Command legends to software support and an Apple-like aesthetic. That is to say, it has created a version of the truncated keyboard for people who use Mac computers. Logitech has Mac-ified its MX Mechanical Mini wireless keyboard.
