Best Logitech Keyboard
Gaming9.2Mobile/Tablet6.1Office7.4Programming7.6Entertainment / HTPC7.4The best Logitech keyboard that we've tested is the Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED. Although this is an older unit, its performance and features have gone unrivaled since its launch. Regardless of how you connect the keyboard, whether you use its USB receiver or plug it in using its charging cable, you'll have extremely low latency that's perfectly suited for any gaming genre, from slow-paced puzzle games to hyper-competitive battle royales. Plus, it has full customization capabilities through Logitech's G HUB software to program macros to the dedicated macro keys on the left side or customize the RGB backlighting.
Inside the board, there are proprietary low-profile mechanical switches with a short pre-travel distance that feel snappy and responsive. However, the stem on these switches isn't typical, so you can't replace the keycaps - a bit of a letdown considering they're made of ABS plastic, which is prone to becoming slippery from finger oil over time. That said, it's still the best Logitech gaming keyboard currently available in their lineup and well worth the splurge if you're looking for a high-performing option in a Logitech peripheral system.

Best Mid-Range Logitech Keyboard
Gaming8.0Mobile/Tablet7.0Office7.8Programming7.8Entertainment / HTPC6.9Perhaps you're in the market for something a little more straightforward without bells, whistles, mechanical switches, or RGB lighting. In this case, the Logitech MX Keys is a popular option that's sure to suit your needs. This wireless unit is designed for office use and includes quite a few little details to help with typing efficiency and overall productivity. One such detail is the indented keycaps, which guide your fingertip to the direct center of the key, making you less prone to typos. It also has a low-profile design, so you can rest your wrists flat on your work surface for support, and you don't have to strain them upwards to type. As a nice added touch, this keyboard has white backlighting that shines through the key legends, so they're easy to read even if you're working away late into the night.
The full-size MX Keys is a great choice for permanent office setups and data entry tasks as it has a Numpad. However, if you want something more portable, there's also the compact Logitech MX Keys Mini. It performs very similarly to the full-size version but lacks a Numpad, so it's lighter and easier to slip into backpacks or bags to bring around.

Best Budget Logitech Keyboard
Gaming6.2Mobile/Tablet6.9Office7.9Programming6.7Entertainment / HTPC5.5If you find the Logitech MX Keys out of your price range, then the Logitech K780 is a solid choice. It's a straightforward keyboard that, like the Logitech MX Keys, also uses scissor switches that provide a quiet and light typing experience, similar to a laptop keyboard. Unlike the MX Keys, however, the K780 has a device tray running the length of the keyboard. This tray has enough space to hold a few mobile devices, like a tablet and phone, and the grippy covering keeps them nicely in place at a visible viewing angle.
The Logitech K780 is also wireless and includes a Unifying receiver, which can pair with select other Logitech productivity products, so you only need one receiver for multiple peripherals. Or, you can pair the keyboard with up to three devices using Bluetooth. While it doesn't feel as well built as the MX Keys, it still feels pretty durable and well-suited for permanent workspaces that include tablets or other mobile devices.

Best Cheap Logitech Keyboard
Gaming6.4Mobile/Tablet8.8Office7.8Programming6.5Entertainment / HTPC5.3The Logitech K380 is a popular choice among students and professionals working on the go thanks to its portable design and low price point. Due to its small size and thin frame, it's easy to slip into backpacks or laptop bags. Plus, it's fully wireless, so you don't need to worry about making space for cables. It uses two AAA batteries for power, and Logitech advertises a battery life of up to two years.
Though it doesn't have as many keys as a full-size unit, like the Logitech K780, what keys the K380 does have are helpful. There are dedicated arrow keys, a full function row with media hotkeys, and Bluetooth pairing buttons to easily switch between paired devices. However, since the key sizes are smaller than standard, typing on the keyboard takes a bit of getting used to and feels a bit cramped at first. All told, what this little unit lacks in features, it more than makes up for in convenience and price.
Compared to other brands
- Versatile lineup for office, gaming, and mobile. Logitech produces a wide range of models for both productivity and gaming. Whatever your needs are, it's likely Logitech has the right keyboard.
- Various sizes. Logitech has full-size options for gaming to compact keyboards to take on the go. You'll likely find the right size that suits your needs.
- Programmable with macOS and Windows. The Logitech G HUB and Logitech Options+ software offer tons of customization options for your keyboard. They're both compatible with macOS and Windows.
- Lack of PBT keycaps. The vast majority of Logitech keyboards are made with ABS keycaps instead of doubleshot PBT plastic. PBT keycaps tend to be more durable and aren't as prone to shine.
- Programming only available with dedicated keys. Even with their gaming models, macro-programming is limited to dedicated keys, usually with the function keys, and you can't reprogram all the keys.
Logitech vs Corsair
As Corsair focuses mainly on gaming keyboards, Logitech offers many more options for users. However, if you were just to compare Logitech's gaming models with Corsair's, you'd find that Corsair makes better-built keyboards with more customization options and RGB zones. Corsair keyboards also tend to use linear Cherry MX switches, while Logitech uses proprietary switches with a variety of different experiences.
Logitech vs Razer
On the whole, Logitech and Razer are very different in terms of what types of keyboards they make. Logitech has a wide range of keyboards, from gaming keyboards to mobile models. Razer has a small lineup and focuses on gaming keyboards, but they've started to produce mechanical keyboards aimed at office use, and they're available in different switches. While Razer's Synapse 3 doesn't work on macOS, it offers more customization options than Logitech, like allowing you to set macros to any key.
Overall, Logitech makes good keyboards for any use. Their office keyboards are available in ergonomic designs or are portable enough for mobile use on the go. For gaming, Logitech makes mechanical keyboards that almost any gamer will be comfortable with, but they aren't as customizable as the competition. Although it may be overwhelming to look at the list of Logitech keyboards and try to find the one that suits you, they'll likely have the right keyboard for your needs.
