A high-quality non-mechanical option.
Logitech make some of the best peripherals in the business, including some of my favourite keyboards. I normally prefer mechanical fare here, but their MX Keys low profile scissor switch keyboard is the exception. It provides a full-size UK layout, pleasant typing experience and long battery life when connected via 2.4GHz wireless or Bluetooth. It’s normally at its £120 RRP, or close to it, but today you can pick it up for £81 - the lowest we’ve seen itsince January.
For gaming, the MX Keys is a little less suitable - its 2.4GHz wireless connection offers somewhat more latency than a gaming-grade Logitech Lightspeed connection - but it’s still quite usable outside of fast-paced and competitive titles - so if you’re more into cooperative or single-player games than esports, you’ll likely be just fine with the MX Keys. The keyboard is at least snappy to operate, thanks to the short key travel and low actuation force here.
Overall, I’m a big fan of this keyboard and would definitely recommend it as this reduced price if you’re not a mechanical keyboard fan. (However, if you haven’t tried a good mechanical keyboard, I’d definitely suggest you do so too - consider theLogitech G915 / G915 TKL,Keychron K3 / K5orNuphy Air96for a similar form factor with a big upgrade to key feel and better gaming credentials. )
