Is the Logitech MX Keys S Wireless Keyboard worth it?
Yes — the best keyboard for most people.
It's lovely to type on: the low, scooped keys are quiet and precise, and the low profile is comfortable without a wrist rest. It's solidly built and heavy enough not to slide, the backlight comes on as your hands approach, and it switches between three computers, tablets or phones with a key. It charges over USB-C and lasts about 10 days with the backlight on, or up to 5 months with it off. It's too slow to respond for competitive gaming, the media controls share the F-keys, and it's big and heavy to carry around.

Owners love the smooth key feel, the solid, weighty build and the backlight that comes on as their hands approach. The main complaint is keys that stick, squeak or come loose, followed by a backlight that makes the labels hard to read.

How we reached this verdict
Engadget calls it the best keyboard for most people. RTINGS found great typing quality, an impressive build and very quiet keys, though it's too slow for competitive gaming and the media keys share the function row. Tom's Guide (4/5) found it lovely to type on but expensive, with a limited backlight, and Trusted Reviews gives it 5/5.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
