Best Logitech Keyboard for 2024

Logitech’s K380 was one of my favorite keyboards for less than $50. The Pebble Keys 2 K380 has a few important upgrades, including the more up-to-date Bluetooth 5.1, added support for Logitech’s Bolt receiver and Logi Options Plus software, new shortcuts keys for the Emojis, dictation and screenshots and improved battery life (36 months versus 24 months (K380).

Logitech makes a variety of wireless keyboards, but its Keys-to-Go carries the distinction of being the company’s thinnest and lightest Bluetooth keyboard. It isn’t as slim as its predecessor, though it has a better typing experience with real scissor keys and a built-in protective cover that folds back and slips under the keyboard when you’re ready to go to work. Multi-OS compatible, the Keys-to-Go-2 is available in lilac, pale grey and graphite for $80.

While I can’t say the typing experience is as good as Logitech’s MX Keys Mini — and the keyboard may be a bit cramped for folks with larger hands — it’s one of the best typing experiences you’ll get from an ultraportable keyboard. In other words, keep your expectations in check (which is admittedly harder to do when you’re dealing with an $80 keyboard).  

The original Keys-to-Go only worked with one device at a time, but this model, like Logitech’s other recent keyboards, allows you to connect to three devices simultaneously. You can jump between devices using the Easy-Switch keys on the top left of the keyboard. The Keys-to-Go 2 isn’t rechargeable, but Logitech says its replaceable coin cell batteries can give you up to three years of battery life.

Truth be told, I’m not a devotee of mechanical keyboards, and I didn’t love the company’s Pop Keys keyboard. But I did find the Tactile Quiet version of the MX Mechanical Mini to be an appealing hybrid that, in a sense, delivers the best of both keyboard worlds. That said, the full-size MX Mechanical (pictured at the top) and Mechanical Mini are more expensive than their MX Keys counterparts, which retail for $100.     

Logitech says Clicky (blue) and Linear (red) switch options are also available for both the full-size MX Mechanical and MX Mechanical Mini in select markets. Most people who work in open-office environments choose not to go with the louder blue switch types as a courtesy to those around them. Linear red switches have a relatively light spring force and are even quieter than tactile brown switches. They are popular among gamers for their speed.

Like Logitech’s standard MX Keys keyboards, the MX Mechanical has smart backlighting with automatic brightness adjustment based on ambient lighting conditions and an auto-off feature when not needed to conserve battery life. Like other MX Series mice and keyboards, these are powered by a built-in non-user-replaceable rechargeable battery that juices up via a USB-C connection. With the backlight on, you’ll get up to 15 days of heavy use of the keyboard before having to charge, but the number jumps to 10 months if you keep the backlight off.

Like the MX Keys Mini, the MX Keys S is part of Logitech’s flagship Master Series of keyboards and mice. For most people, the more compact MX Keys Mini is the preferable option (it takes up less room). But those looking for a full-size keyboard with a number pad and additional shortcut keys should take a hard look at the sleekly designed MX Keys S, which has responsive, tactile keys and quiet operation.

Like the Mini, this updated S version has three new keys, giving you shortcuts to dictation (available in select countries for Windows and MacOS users), emojis and the all-important muting and unmuting of your microphone for video conference calls. Along with Bluetooth connectivity, Logitech’s Bolt USB receiver is included for computer use (the MX Keys Mini is compatible with Bolt receivers but doesn’t include one). There’s smart backlighting, and a rechargeable battery delivers up to 10 days of use with the backlighting on or up to 5 months of use with it off. Finally, the Logi Options Plus App allows you to create customizable macros — Logitech calls them Smart Action — and automate multiple tasks with a single keystroke.

Available in three options, Logitech’s Casa Pop-Up Desk is sort of the ultimate remote work accessory for laptops in that it combines a laptop stand with a low-profile keyboard and touchpad that you store inside the stand, which collapses into a textbook-sized book. The whole thing has a bit of heft to it (the stand is sleek and sturdy) and weighs more than some laptops at a little over 3 pounds. But it is a nice portable setup, and both the Casa Keyboard and Casa Touch are solid performers. It is more mid-range than premium (there’s no backlight, for example), and neither is quite up to the level of Logitech’s Master Series of keyboards and mice, but I had little to complain about. Both have rechargeable batteries, shortcut keys such as Media Keys, Mic Mute and Emoji, and are compatible with the company’s Logi Options Plus software.

Released in 2023, the G Pro X TKL Lightspeed is Logitech’s flagship gaming keyboard. CNET editor Lori Grunin reviewed it and noted how it has the layout of Logitech’s other recent tenkeyless models — it resembles the G715 or the G915 TKL more than the wired Pro X, or would if the G715 were a little less floofy looking and the G915 weren’t low profile. TKL is short for tenkeyless, which means it lacks the number pad section.  

The new model adds its Lightspeed wireless with RGB lighting and Bluetooth to the G Pro X keyboard product line. It also has a set of media control keys and a volume roller, and it connects via USB-C rather than USB-A. Otherwise, it’s similar to its predecessor. That means a choice of GX Blue (clicky), GX Brown (tactile) or GX Red switches with doubleshot PBT keycaps that keep the key legends from wearing off over time. 

Logitech says this model has improved acoustics, as well — we don’t know if it’s better or worse than before, but the GX Brown switches on our evaluation model sound similar to other keyboards we’ve tested recently with similar switches (like the Razer BlackWidow V4 75%). The spacebar does sound more solid and feels more stable than some others, though.

CNET editor Josh Goldman explains that ergonomic keyboards and mice are the lightly dressed raw kale salad of computer accessories. They’re good for you, you know you should be using them, but they can be unpalatable, and soon, you’re right back to the meat and potatoes of your traditional keyboard and mouse. Logitech’s Ergo K860, on the other hand, is “a tasty meal of a keyboard that you’ll forget is healthy,” Goldman says.  

The $130 K860 is a compact one-piece split, curved ergonomic keyboard. It’s not unlike others, such as the Microsoft Sculpt, but does its thing without being bulky, clunky or unsightly — or needing any add-ons.

Developed from 30 to 40 different concepts and extensive laboratory testing at Logitech’s Switzerland offices, the K860 is designed to both reduce muscle activity and allow for a natural posture, whether you’re sitting or standing at your desk. Feet at the front edge lets you adjust the palm rest tilt 0, -4 or -7  degrees, giving you a neutral wrist position, so your wrists aren’t constantly bent while typing.
