Logitech MX Keys S review: The best Apple Magic Keyboard alternative

A white Logitech MX Keys S wireless keyboard for Windows and macOS.

Have you been eyeing the full-size Apple Magic Keyboard but can’t stomach the $129 price tag? How about a Logitech peripheral that borrows those styling cues, and is essentially a no-nonsense keyboard? That’s the MX Keys S for you — and it’s $20 cheaper than the Magic Keyboard. But is it one of the best wireless keyboards?

The MX Keys S is a productivity powerhouse that harnesses the power of dual-labeled keycaps and tech that automatically detects the operating system, letting you work effortlessly across macOS and Windows. With scissor switches and concave keycaps, it’s great to type on, and it’s got a long battery life too. But I expected more at this price point. While it’s still cheaper than the Magic Keyboard, $109 is still a lot for a keyboard that sports dim and lackluster backlighting, has a dongle that can be easily lost, and ultimately, is built to stay put in one place.
