Thanks so much for this review! You're very clear and straightforward in your presentation, which helps those of us who aren't tech wizards.

Excellent job reviewing this set. Really thorough and you addressed all the questions I had. Thanks!

[smplfy]

Why is there still no option to have the mouse switch with the keyboard when the device change button is pressed on the keyboard? Flipping the mouse over each time is unnecessarily cumbersome.

I think this will be a good update from my 1989 IBM model M keyboard (with a modern usb adapter of course) I have been using since 1992.😂 Maybe it won’t sound like an entire noisy old office complex at my house when I start burning the keys up. After 30 years, some keys are not responding very well anymore.

Thanks for the great review.

I was trying to decide between the MX and the Magic keyboard. Great video! This definitely helped

I got the MX Mechanical instead of the MX Keys because it offers a better typing experience and I am using it at home and never takes them out. The MX Master 3S is cool. I love your review on this combo though, really detailed and honest. I always prefer Logitech's peripherals over Apple's. I got their MX Mechanical, MX Master, and the Logitech Combo Touch for iPad Pro. All are great products and I love them more than the stock Apple peripherals.

I wanted to like this keyboard a lot. Unfortunately, I experienced annoying lags. Every 10 minutes or so it got stuck and then repeated the last pressed key tiiiimeees. It got especially annoying when the repeated key turned out to be backspace because it deleted lots of text. I tried everything imaginable - Bolt and Bluetooth connection, disabling my router's 2.4GHz, disabling all Bluetooth devices nearby. Did not help. Even my old Logitech MK260 wireless did not have such issues. Really sad, considering the price of MX Keys.

Bought the combo just now, looking forward to using it

I can't seem to check for firmware upgrades on both the MX Keys S and the MX Master 3S. Is it working for you?
It claims no supported device or supported receiver is found. Both are connected by Bolt dongle on one computer and via bluetooth to another. None of them are able to perform a firmware upgrade check in the Logi Options+ app. When I go to the supported devices list, both don't seem to be in the list, which is odd...

I thnk you have just highlighted a problem that isn't articulated anywhere else - When you want to change Computers (which I do a LOT - Desktop, Work, MacBook), you have to press two buttons (keyboard and then mouse) whereas I currently have a KVM switch which is one button. Has anyone found a fix to that? Really annoying to have to flip over the mouse, press the button and do the keyboard every time, when I was hoping that just the keyboard button would switch both peripherals.

Still recommend this combo set?
All these keyboards and mice are really a personal choice what each other likes and dont.. but.. its hard to choose in this keyboard and mice jungle.
I have been looking at the logitech ergo series as well.. but.. i figure this combo might be good enough for me.. it seems that many on youtube likes it. Havent seen anyone that doesnt like it.

Kinda pricey but i think you get quite much for the money.

Im on like 13+ year keyboard and mice combo now.. a microsoft wireless keyboard 5000 or something it is :) really filthy hah. time to replace.

This might be a stupid question, but just in case I connect the keyboard and mouse to a computer with no Bluetooth, can I set them up with an extra dongle if I’m already using the ones they gave on another computer?

This was an excellent review! Did you try the MX Keys for Mac? Which one do you prefer? I just bought the MX Keys for Mac and using it for a day now between MacBook Pro and Dell Precision. So far so good, but switching the mouse is a pain. I just ordered the MX Master 3S mouse to use between both devices. I also heard, haven’t verified yet that when you are using both MX Keys with MX Master 3S mouse, you can switch between devices seamlessly without toggling a mouse switch or pressing the button on the keyboard. Are you experiencing the same?

[dnogin]

Would pressing a device switch button on a keyboard alos switch a mouse?

[JosePto]

I would prefer to ditch the wrist rest and buy them separately for almost the same price but getting two Bolt dongles.

[rafaeltomaszewski]

That's all well and good, you're making a good ad for the MX 3s, but what's really problematic about it are the sliders. If you press an additional button responsible for moving the screen and move the mouse over the pad, an ugly mark is left. This is definitely a case of poorly designed sliders. They are either too high or too sharp. I've never had this problem with any other mouse.

[LiamCrossleySound]

If i have a mac and a dell laptop can i switch between both?

[Vvvrrrmmm]

Omg, is that how you backspace…. No wonder I couldn’t work it out

[hinlchi]

Hi, some of the keys of my keyboard dont work. Do you know how to fix it?

[AlanDanielx]

Damnit i bought the Mouse and the Keyboard separate, without the combo, so no i have 2 usb ... Is there a way to connect both with only one usb, since i have 2 one of each?? That's a deal breaker to me, if not i will have to send back both things to amazon
