Logitech’s MX Keys Mini for Mac is $79.99 on Amazon, down from $99.99. That’s $20 off a backlit keyboard with a Mac key layout. Apple lists its Magic Keyboard (USB-C) at $99 with no backlight. The Logitech MX Master 3S mouse is also $79.99, $20 off. Together they make a desk upgrade for anyone using a MacBook Neo or MacBook Air with an external monitor.

MX Keys Mini for Mac gives you backlit Mac keys that Apple’s $99 Magic Keyboard doesn’t have
Logitech’s MX Keys Mini for Mac page lists a dedicated Mac layout, backlighting that turns on as your hands approach and adjusts to room light, and Easy-Switch pairing for up to three devices over Bluetooth Low Energy. The battery charges over USB-C and lasts up to 10 days, or up to 5 months with the backlight off. The Amazon listing names the MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and iMac as compatible and asks for macOS 10.15 or later.

There are two things to know before you swap out Apple’s keyboard. Logitech’s page lists no fingerprint sensor, and Apple charges $149 for its Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, so you lose Touch ID at your desk. Logitech also warns that FileVault can stop Bluetooth keyboards from connecting before you log in, and it suggests its Logi Bolt receiver, which isn’t in the box. Apple lists only USB-C ports on the MacBook Neo, so a Bolt receiver would need a USB-C adapter.
MX Master 3S at $79.99 costs about the same as Apple’s $79 Magic Mouse
Apple sells the Magic Mouse (USB-C) for $79, so the MX Master 3S at $79.99 is a straight swap on price. Logitech lists an 8,000 DPI sensor that tracks even on glass, Quiet Clicks with 90% less click noise, MagSpeed electromagnetic scrolling and a thumb wheel. A one-minute quick charge gives you three hours of use, and the mouse weighs 141 grams. It needs macOS 10.15 or later.
This listing is the Bluetooth Edition. The Amazon listing says it comes with no USB receiver and no charging cable, so keep a USB-C cable handy.
