Today, Logitech announced a new "Designed for Mac" collection of products, crafted to be seamlessly compatible and reliable with Mac setups across a variety of use cases. The new collection includes the MX Mechanical Mini for Mac keyboard, MX Master 3S for Mac mouse, Lift for Mac mouse and the K380 Bluetooth Keyboard for Mac in a new Blueberry color.

"We know that Apple users value a consistent design aesthetic for their entire setup—work or home—and that they need mice and keyboards that work across their ecosystems," said Delphine Donné, vice president and general manager of Creativity and Productivity at Logitech. "We've created a suite of stylish tools that elevates how you work by adding more functionality, customization and comfort. And because we know that one size doesn't fit all, this collection was designed, developed and engineered to meet the diverse needs of Apple users."




MX Mechanical Mini for Mac Keyboard
Logitech's first mechanical keyboard optimized for Mac, available in Space Gray and Pale Gray, features a keyboard layout for Mac with the ability to customize shortcuts and accelerate creativity with Logi Options+. MX Mechanical Mini for Mac features Tactile Quiet low-profile switches and Smart Backlighting, to stay in the flow in any light conditions. Connect up to three different Apple devices for macOS, iPadOS or iOS with Easy-Switch and charge the keyboard with a USB-C cable while working.

MX Master 3S for Mac Mouse
An icon remastered for advanced Mac users, the MX Master 3S for Mac mouse, available in Space Gray and Pale Gray, combines what you love already with new features for ultimate comfort, performance and work flow. With the MagSpeed Electromagnetic wheel, zip through 1,000 lines per second, and set the DPI between 1,000 and 8,000 for precise work on either one or multiple high resolution monitors. MX Master 3S for Mac features Quiet Clicks, tracks on glass, quickly recharges with the USB-C cable while in use and can connect up to three different Apple devices on macOS and iPadOS with Easy-Switch.

Lift for Mac Mouse
Crafted for day-long comfort, Lift for Mac is a vertical ergonomic mouse ideal for people with small to medium-sized hands. Developed and tested in the Logitech Ergo Lab, the 57° angle of Lift for Mac places your hand in a natural handshake position. This puts less pressure on the wrist throughout the day and places your arm and upper body in a more natural posture.

K380 Multi-Device Bluetooth Keyboard for Mac (Blueberry)
A modern keyboard with laptop-like typing in a minimalist layout, the K380 Multi-Device keyboard beautifully integrates with your Apple setup and works seamlessly across your Apple devices. Available in the new Blueberry color, this lightweight, space-saving keyboard allows for the comfort and convenience of desktop-style typing wherever you are, at home or on the road. The scooped keys provide smooth and ultra-quiet typing and connect via Easy-Switch with a touch of a button to your MacBook, iPad or iPhone.

Logitech's Sustainability Approach
Logitech products, including "Designed for Mac" products, are designed to not only deliver exceptional user experiences but do so with an understanding of environmental and social impact. The plastic parts in MX for Mac and Lift for Mac products include certified post-consumer recycled plastic to give a second life to end-of-life plastic from old consumer electronics.
  • 47% for MX Mechanical Mini for Mac Space Gray
  • 36% for MX Mechanical Mini for Mac Pale Gray
  • 27% for MX Master 3S for Mac Space Gray
  • 22% for MX Master 3S for Mac Pale Gray
  • 54% for Lift for Mac

All Logitech products are certified carbon neutral. We reduce the net carbon impact of Logitech products by designing for sustainability and using renewable energy where possible. We also compensate our residual impact by purchasing high-quality, certified offsets from forestry, renewables, and climate-impacted communities.

Pricing and Availability
Available in September 2022 on logitech.com and at other global retailers, the suggested retail prices are:
  • MX Mechanical Mini for Mac: $149.99
  • MX Master 3S for Mac: $99.99
  • Lift for Mac: $69.99
  • K380 for Mac: $39.99

Apple tax on top of Logitax.
Nope not for these but still stupid. Everyone gets the magic mouse anyways. For keyboards they go with the apple (which is stupid, at 200 bucks) or a code or one with the keys for whatever creativity software.

These look nice, and the prices aren't bad considering what is normal these days. That light grey mech keyboard has something going for it.

VR HMD Samsung Oddyssey, not that I'd plug it into this though....
Software W10 21H1, barely
Benchmark Scores I once clocked a Celeron-300A to 564MHz on an Abit BE6 and it scored over 9000.
I've bought several Logitech keyboards for work in the last couple of years and they've all been horrible. I've had nicer-quality QCHUNXPIE or similarly-named Amazon mystery-brand stuff at a quarter the price on many occasion.

What happened to Logitech keyboards? They were good and cheap, then they became good and expensive, and now they're nasty and expensive. It's at odds with the rest of their portfolio....

Any particular fault? I'm thinking of grabbing an Mx mechanical on black friday sales (if they are on sale lol, but they usually have some good discounts), is the problem connection, switches (mx mech uses off the shelf Kailh Choc low profile switches so should be fine), other?

Of my recent experiences (K360, K380, K410, MX keys) they've all been quite expensive and felt like shit. Nasty wobbly key action, cheap plastics, creak and flex etc. The build quality of those models is optimistically described as adequate. The MX Keys I have is okay but it's a $40 keyboard with a $100 price tag. I bought it because it looked like (and was priced like) machined aluminium, only to discover the whole thing is just cheap plastic and the membrane key actuation feels pretty mushy and inconsistent between keys.

Their higher-end stuff, and presumably the MX mechanical, likely feel better - but Logitech aren't my go-to company for mechanical boards so I can't comment on them.


Edit:
I've just watched a review of the MX mechanical and it's more of what I expected. 100% plastic build quality at a price others are offering alloy-plate or full-alloy. Keycaps are cheap ABS with printed legends so they'll shine and wear away. Switches are soldered in so no way to repair/replace individual switches unlike you can in the competition from Keychron or NuPhy.

It's basically an okay wireless mechanical but absolutely not worth full price, and probably only appealing if it's discounted by 40% or more. There are plenty of channels dedicated to mechanical keyboards so don't take my word for it - have a look at what better alternatives are out there and make your own mind up :)
