In 2019, Logitech discontinued the K810, a compact TKL wireless keyboard that was both Bluetooth-enabled and backlit. Initially launched to great acclaim, the K810 allowed users to seamlessly switch devices by simply tapping a key. Although its build quality was decent, many users felt it lacked the durability expected from such a device. As time went on, finding the K810 became increasingly difficult, prompting users to seek alternative options or source used models through platforms like eBay. The keyboard's popularity led to numerous posts on Reddit, where fans expressed their desire for Logitech to re-release it. This gap in the market resulted in Logitech's introduction of the MX Keys Mini, which many enthusiasts viewed as the ideal successor to the K810. The MX Keys Mini features a compact design, improved backlit keys, and enhanced build quality, addressing the main complaints regarding the K810. It also upgraded to USB-C for charging and boasts impressive battery life, exceeding users' expectations. The keyboard automatically adjusts its backlighting based on ambient light and can last up to ten days on a single charge, or up to five months with backlighting turned off. The MX Keys Mini is available as a Windows or MacOS option for about $99, making it a popular recommendation for anyone seeking a reliable and compact keyboard solution.
