SHORT TEST OF LOGITECH MX KEYS MINI & MX MASTER 2S - Chello - 05-15-2025
SHORT TEST OF LOGITECH MX KEYS MINI & MX MASTER 2S
I have been using the Logitech k830 keyboard & Logitech MX Master mouse for many years now, both of which have worked very well.
There are two reasons why I had to replace them:
The batteries no longer accept charging, and the illuminated keys are worn out and unreadable.
The set being tested is the next generation of what I had.
It is relatively expensive - about 200€.
Connection:
The set should be able to connect via Bluetooth, but this turned out to be impossible, even though I have a fairly new (and advanced) PC and updated system.
I had to go to the store and explain the problem to them, and their technician said that I needed a Trust Bluetooth - Wireless mouse/keyboard receiver, which I bought for 15€.
It turned out to be impossible to get the set to work with this - never trust the store's "experts".
The set also did not work with any of the old Logi wireless mouse/keyboard receivers I had; only the mouse.
After some searching I found that it would work with the Logi Bolt - Wireless Mouse/Keyboard Receiver, which cost an additional €20.
This had to be ordered online, and it took a week before I received it.
Only the keyboard works with the Logi Bolt - Pairing Mode does not work, and the mouse was not found by the system.
An update to the Logi Bolt did not fix the problem.
So I have to use a receiver for each device; the old Logi for the mouse and the Logi Bolt for the keyboard.
Both otherwise work very well, and are very ergonomically adapted; the best set I have ever tried.
The lighting can be adjusted in 7 steps, which is a significant improvement from the previous set.
The perimeter of the buttons is also illuminated.
CONCLUSION:
This set is very good, and "mouse finger" becomes an unknown problem in daily use due to a well-thought-out ergonomic design.
Recommended with the reservation of problematic connection.
PROS:
* Excellent ergonomics
* Excellent lighting
* Excellent precision for both keyboard and mouse
CONS:
* Not possible to connect via Bluetooth, although this should be possible
* Not possible to connect via Pairing Mode with only one receiver
* Requires 2 receivers (no receiver is included and must be purchased separately)
FINAL CONCLUSION:
RECOMMENDED

SOME NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES AFTER 1 WEEK OF USE:
* Both keyboard and mouse use significantly more power than the previous set - both need to be charged after a few hours of use.
* The same cable cannot be used to charge both, because the keyboard uses regular USB C, while the mouse uses USB C mini.
* The mouse cable is far too short; only 70 cm.
* The keyboard light is not always activated easily; sometimes the whole hand must be placed over it for activation to occur.
* The Windows keys have been omitted, which is a mistake.

1 MONTH OF USE - BATTERY CAPACITY HAS STABILIZED
Very unexpectedly and positively, the battery capacity has now stabilized.
I have been using both the keyboard and mouse very effectively with full keyboard lighting for over 1 week now without any issues with low power.
Newer battery types require a certain number of charges before the battery reaches full capacity, and once this is reached, far fewer charges are required.
