Was looking at this this morning and it was 159 (30% off) and then checked back randomly about 20 minutes ago and it's now down to 127.90, which appears to be cheapest it's ever been on amazon? (camelcamelcamel still showing this mornings old price for me atm).

In good ozb form I obviously price matched this over the phone with office works and got it down to 121.50 ready for click and collect (47%ish off rrp?)

The main reason for buying this keyboard is due to it being compatible with the keyboard tracking oculus quest 2, as sometimes I like to pretend i'm dying in outerspace, under water or just burning in one of the seven pits of hell while i'm working.

I believe the 'mini' version is currently for sale at about ~70c cheaper if you don't need the numpad.

    Highly recommended. Been using mine for a few years now. My favourite non-mechanical keyboard.

  • Yamete Kudasai on 06/10/2022 - 15:23

    is this good for gaming? FPS? need a quite work/gaming keyboard, the one i have now is loud af.

    • lulzenberg on 06/10/2022 - 15:25

      Once I pick mine up I can let you know.. looking at it, and it being non-mechanical, with the reviews it has, I'd lean towards yes - but I guess optimal keyboard for gaming would probably be corded and not wireless

    • Vancomycin 1000mg on 06/10/2022 - 15:29

      I have this keyboard and wouldnt recommend it for gaming. It wont be very responsive for gaming.

    • robotfrom1984 on 06/10/2022 - 15:30

      I'd say this keyboard is more for productivity rather than gaming. Granted it'd depend on what you play. Personally, I'd prefer something wired, MX Keys only works via bluetooth or using the dongle. Bluetooth has dropped out on me, but it's quite rare especially compared to other bluetooth keyboards.

      • entropysbane on 06/10/2022 - 15:48

        Well the dongle would be a lot better than Bluetooth, but still, it’s a productivity keyboard, not dedicated gaming keyboard.

    • Domingo on 06/10/2022 - 15:53

      I have this and a G915. I swap them over on Friday arvo and back on Monday morning. A gaming keyboard feels a lot more precise and controlled, with this it feels a lot less controlled when trying to peek around a corner or position carefully in a game

    • lulzenberg on 06/10/2022 - 17:00
      +1

      Picked up from officeworks - about the same sound as a laptop keyboard. has a lot more weight to it than expected, good spacing between the keys too. I'm using the dongle so not really noticing any of the usual issues i'd get from bluetooth, like lag and random missed keys. I don't think it would be terrible for gaming, but as others have said, you'd probably want a corded one for gaming.

    • Wonderfool on 06/10/2022 - 17:34

      It has 6 keys rollover, I've yet to hit a limit with multiple presses, but it's possible that my apm isn't fast enough.

      With the 33 bucks dongle, the latency isn't noticeable for me, but I'm only sensitive to sub 6 frame latency on controller.

  • Anjalia on 06/10/2022 - 15:27

    Thanks OP! I've had my eye on this for a while, but just couldn't justify the price tag until now.

  • listenam on 06/10/2022 - 15:32

    Thanks OP, ordered one. Hope the multi device integration is seamless and can swith between my Macbook and Linux Desktop.

      Works with my windows laptop and mac mini. I even attached it to my Ipad and all 3 work seamlessly.

      • Ibz on 07/10/2022 - 15:26

        Works with androids too. And even with ps5 with the dongle.

    • Heybargain on 06/10/2022 - 17:44

      Works perfect. I switch between my mac, windows work laptop and iPad.

    So I just recently picked up this keyboard, and while I enjoy it, I do have some bugbears that are worth keeping in mind.

    The function keys being a continuous row of keys make it difficult to hit anything in the middle with anything approaching consistency

    There's a volume up key to the right of F12 that's not bound to any function key. If you're using the F12 key a lot, while listening to music, be prepared to have your ears blasted with some level of regularity

    Similarly, if you use the "-" on the numpad a lot, be ready to lock your computer repeatedly until you get used to it.

    Both the second and third issues can be "solved" by binding the vol up and lock button to F12 and - respectively, but it's still annoying till you figure that out.

    • dontpanic on 06/10/2022 - 15:54

      Honestly, that all just sounds like muscle memory issues. That will improve over time as your brain adjusts.

      • tofuofdoom on 06/10/2022 - 16:00
        +3

        If it were the only keyboard I used, maybe. But I use a different keyboard on my home set-up, and hotdesk a fair amount. I can bring this keyboard to most places, but some sites require I use their hardware, which also doesn't help.

  • xr8td on 06/10/2022 - 15:34

    Damn bought in sept for $147

    Great keyboard though

  • Ozb101 on 06/10/2022 - 15:34

    Wanted the Mac version, but can't argue with this price (and it still has the combo Mac/PC keys). Who knows, maybe I'll switch back to PC….

  • wormarts on 06/10/2022 - 15:42

    Don’t forget that this is only compatible with the unifying receiver, NOT the newer Bolt receiver.

    The MX Master 3S uses the Bolt receiver. If you have that mouse, and get this keyboard, you’re going to need to use two USB dongles (or Bluetooth).

    For this reason, I went with the MX Mechanical keyboard, which uses the Bolt Receiver.

    N.B. The MX Keys for Business keyboard does use the Bolt receiver, so be wary of claims that the ‘MX Keys’ keyboard does use Bolt. Those references are to the Business version (which are rare to find sold solo, and usually only found in bundles with the MX Master 3 (NOT 3S)).

    A mess… 🙃

    • dontpanic on 06/10/2022 - 15:51
      +1

      Really not that big of a dealbreaker. Just put your dongles on a cheap USB hub if you're worried about it taking up precious USB ports. Or use Bluetooth. I wouldn't be choosing a keyboard on this factor alone.

    • Techie4066 on 06/10/2022 - 15:52

      On the other hand the MX Keys Mini uses Bluetooth or the Bolt receiver.

    • Jabba the Hutt on 06/10/2022 - 15:55

      They're going one better by also introducing a new Business combo that updates the mouse to the 3S, apparently under the same name but with "Gen 2" added to the end.

      • wormarts on 06/10/2022 - 16:03

        I noticed that! Who knows when it will get released. Sigh…

        That being said, I like the 3S only for the quiet clicks. 8K DPI is way too sensitive for me.

        And I got the MX Mechanical, which I’m really digging.

    • atlas on 06/10/2022 - 16:47

      Thanks - wasn't aware that there was a MX Mechanical keyboard. Will keep an eye out now for a deal!

    • ronorboris on 07/10/2022 - 11:37

      Super useful info that I wouldn't have even thought to look into, thank you!

  • timjohns on 06/10/2022 - 15:43

    Nice. Just ordered one from AZ.

    Been on the fence about this for a while.
    I've been (still) using K750's on my three daily workstations… 2 at home and 1 x work.
    But those are old and needing replacing.
    Grabbed one of these to use in my darkest workspace, the backlighting will be great.
    USB-C charging ticks another box.
    Unifying Receiver…. <tick>

    Probably should just get two more… but will try one out first. Thanks OP.

    • robbiey on 06/10/2022 - 16:01
      +2

      Hard to explain but if it just feels better than any other keyboard I have ever used. I don't game or use mechanical keyboards but I have been using this KB for the last few years 5 days a week and it's comfortable and I can type efficiently on it. When I go into the office for the odd day I have a cheaper Logitech one in there and It's no where near as comfortable and I struggle to type as fluid as I do at home on the MX master.
      Some people will say it's expensive etc but if you use it 5 days a week all year around then it's money well spent.

    • atlas on 06/10/2022 - 16:14

      I got one for my wife and after all the rave reviews but in all honesty I don't like it. Very little key travel and feedback. Much prefer a normal mechanical keyboard.

      • Ibz on 07/10/2022 - 15:31
        +2

        This keyboard is not for people who love mechanical keyboards. It's for people who want a really well built laptop style keyboard. It has soft clicks and limited feedback as you mentioned, but that makes it great to type for hours. I've also found the dimples on each key to help with typing.

  • nokia3660 on 06/10/2022 - 17:04

    does anyone have the colour going off from their keys? I have had mine for around 7 months now and the right hand side edge of my B & N keys have started to loose colour. I don't game and use it solely for work and there is no special use of those 2 keys. I have no clue what I could have done for the paint to go away.

    • BargainKen on 06/10/2022 - 17:41

      Maybe you need to clean it?

      • nokia3660 on 06/10/2022 - 18:05

        err.. not sure how cleaning would help. Wouldn't it remove more paint/colour?

    • cd-v on 06/10/2022 - 19:07
      +1

      Yep, it's a similar situation with mine (also around 6 months old). However I think the paint coming off my keycaps is down to cleaning it too often.

      I was using isopropol alcohol to wipe down the board weekly.

      I have been user the older Craft variant of the MX keys for a couple years now and the keycaps on the Craft are pristine despite being subjected to the same cleaning routine.

      Could be an issue with some batches of the MX keys getting less durable paint. A bit annoying since this is meant to be a higher end keyboard

      • Luc on 06/10/2022 - 19:46

        If your using it undiluted then that will be where your keyboard paint went.

        It's great stuff but you only need a tiny amount. so if you have one of those small spray bottles that people use for spraying cleaning fluid on their glasses then you basically fill it with water put one teaspoon of the isopropyl and a couple of drops of dishwashing detergent as a surfactant and that's it. Never use it undiluted on things like a keyboard.

        • nokia3660 on 06/10/2022 - 20:10

          in my case, I have never cleaned it with anything except wiping it with a micro fiber cloth

        • cd-v on 06/10/2022 - 20:19

          Yeah agreed. I think it was 70/30 water mix. I've since switched to something gentler.

          That said I will say the keycap coating on the MX Keys is less durable than the Craft.

  • Grey 13 on 06/10/2022 - 17:36

      you can use the basic functions of the keyboard with just the dongle.

      if you install the "Logitech Options" software,
      then you can assign more functions, update firmwares, etc.
