Overview
Experience premium typing with the Logitech MX Keys S, a full-size wireless keyboard engineered for professionals who value precision, comfort, and seamless multi-device workflow. The low-profile scissor switches provide satisfying tactile feedback with quiet operation, while the spherically-dished keys are designed to fit your fingertips perfectly for accurate typing and reduced fatigue. Intelligent backlighting with a proximity sensor activates when your hands approach and adjusts brightness automatically based on ambient light, then turns off when you step away to conserve battery. Smart Actions let you automate repetitive tasks with custom macros and keystroke sequences, while app-specific customizations through Logi Options+ optimize your workflow in creative and productivity applications. Connect to up to three devices via Bluetooth or the included Logi Bolt receiver and switch between Mac, Windows, and iPad instantly using dedicated Easy-Switch keys. The rechargeable battery lasts up to 5 months with backlighting off or 10 days with full brightness, and the USB-C port allows use while charging. The premium build features a sleek, stable design that pairs perfectly with Logitech MX mice for the ultimate desktop setup.
