Our Verdict
Logitech MX Keys
Razer Pro Type Ultra
The Logitech MX Keys and the Razer Pro Type Ultra are both wireless office boards, but they use different switch types. The Logitech has typical scissor switches, which provide tactile feedback when you actuate a key. On the other hand, the Razer comes with Razer Yellow switches, which are linear and don't provide feedback. Also, its backlighting is brighter. If you're looking for a board you can also occasionally game with, the Razer has much lower latency.
