Your keyboard is compatible with multiple operating systems (OS): Windows 10 or later, macOS 10.15 or later, iOS 13.4 or later, iPadOS 14 or later, Linux, ChromeOS, and Android 5 or later.

There are very few differences between these keyboards outside of size but a notable one is the Logi Bolt receiver. Both keyboards can be paired with devices using Bluetooth but only the MX Keys S comes with the Logi Bolt receiver in the box. Logi Bolt adds a extra stable and encrypted connection for your compatible Logitech devices via a USB-A receiver. If you are a Windows, Linux, or Android user, your special characters will be on the right side of the key: Your keyboard can be paired with up to three different computers using the Easy-Switch button to change the channel.

If you can live without the Numpad on a keyboard there are some serious benefits to getting this downsized model as, despite its smaller size, a few useful features have been included that would have made remote working during the Covid-19 pandemic a little easier. The keyboard is also entirely wireless, Bluetooth specifically as Logitech has stated it believed in the capabilities of Bluetooth over wireless dongles (though the MX Keys Mini is compatible with the Logi Bolt USB Reciever), so you can't use the device with a connected USB-C. To charge, plug in the USB-C cable at the top right corner of your keyboard. You can continue typing while it is charging. Open the Bluetooth settings on your computer to complete the pairing. You can read more details here. There are three keys located on the function row of note: a system mute, an emoji key and a dictation key. The mute button does exactly what you think it would – instantly mutes your microphone without you needing to hunt for the right option on your conferencing software. As this is a system mute, it works across everything from Microsoft Teams to Discord so you can avoid any embarrassing interruptions.

If you are a macOS or iOS user, your characters and special keys will be on the left side of the key: The pads located on the bottom of the keyboard are rubberized despite blending perfectly with the shade of keyboard you selected, so you can use it across just about any surface and not have to worry about it slipping during aggressive typing, and you're also very unlikely to scratch anything either. The LED on the Easy-Switch button should rapidly blink. If not, perform a long press for three seconds. You can work on multiple computers with your MX Keys Mini. With a Flow-enabled Logitech mouse, such as MX Anywhere 3, you can also work and type on multiple computers with the same mouse and keyboard using Logitech Flow technology. Install Logitech Options software to get the most out of your keyboard. You can find more information here.
