A portable keyboard with some clever shortcuts
Logitech’s MX Keys Mini packs much of the good stuff from its larger sibling into a signinficantly smaller package. Weighing just under 18 oz, it's ultra-portable and charges over USB-C via the bundled cable, offering 10 days of usage on a single charge, or up to 5 months with backlighting switched off. It's compatible with recent versions of all major desktop and mobile operating systems and has three Device buttons, each one of which can be paired individually so you can switch between devices without re-pairing each time. Adjustable backlighting uses a proximity sensor to switch itself off when you move away from the keys.
The regular version of the keyboard has both Mac and Windows key markings, though a version with only Mac keys is also available. You can use the slick Logi Options app to manage keyboard settings including options like making the Mac keys the default and configuring key behaviours for specific applications. Installing the app on your Mac also activates smart buttons on the keyboard including dictation and muting the microphone, the latter especially useful since we all spend so much time now video calling. Other shortcut keys like Emoji and screen capture are also very handy. You can even back up keyboard settings to the cloud.
The keys have enough travel to feel satisfying and accurate to type on, and are slightly indented for a more comfortable experience. Its size is an excellent balance of portability and suitability for more long-form typing, and you could use it as easily with an iPad as with a desktop computer.
