Our Verdict

Logitech MX Keys Mini

Keychron B33/B36

The Logitech MX Keys Mini and the Keychron B33 are wireless low-profile keyboards designed for productivity and everyday browsing. The Keychron model offers more customizability through lightweight web-based software and supports a higher 1000Hz polling rate. It also delivers significantly better latency when used in wired mode, and you may prefer its typing experience if you want more key travel. In comparison, the Logitech offers superior build quality, higher-end materials, and a more premium typing experience for most users. It features very stable keys, coupled with a comfortable, rounded indent in the keycaps, which helps you hit the key in the center and reduces typos. It also includes full per-key backlighting and shine-through legends, features that the Keychron lacks.
