The Logitech MX Mechanical is a low profile mechanical keyboard designed for productivity. It offers classic Logitech style with a two tone black and gray appearance. It features 2 height settings and is available in both 75% and full size. The keyboard is made from 47% recycled plastic and has ABS keycaps which are not my favorite as they catch finger oils easily. The switches are available in Linear, Tactile Quiet, and Clicky, and the keyboard has Multi-Device connectivity for 3 devices via Bluetooth in addition to the included Logi Bolt USB dongle. There is white backlighting that turns on automatically when hands approach and adjusts based on ambient light level. The Logitech Options+ software allows for customized mapping for function keys, application-specific key mapping, and more.

The Logitech MX Mechanical has a few drawbacks, including limited function keys and no option for RGB. It also requires more actuation force to press the keys, making it a very different typing experience than comparable keyboards. Additionally, it is wireless only, meaning it has no wired mode, which can be a problem if bluetooth does not work with your desk setup. Lastly, though Logitech's software is great, it may be blocked on company computers. Despite these minor issues, the Logitech MX Mechanical is a solid product for those who want to try out mechanical keyboards while enjoying easy connectivity and the benefits of the Logitech ecosystem.
