Today, Logitech International announced MX Keys S Combo, MX Keys S, and MX Anywhere 3S, the latest additions to the premium Master Series designed for advanced users, such as software developers and creative professionals. With the addition of Smart Actions, a new feature in Logi Options+, these new products - MX Keys S Combo, upgraded MX Keys S keyboard and MX Anywhere 3S mouse - achieve your "flow state," the period of time when you feel the most productive, with greater ease.

"MX Users aim to achieve a state of flow where they become fully immersed in their creative process, finding balance between the challenge of the task at hand and their individual skills," said Anatoliy Polyanker, general manager of MX business at Logitech. "Our new Master Series products featuring Smart Actions in the Options + are designed for anyone seeking precision, speed and comfort to reach optimal performance and a feeling of enjoyment."



Smart Actions
Smart Actions in the Logi Options+ App gives you the power to skip repetitive actions by automating multiple tasks with a single keystroke so you can streamline your workflow with macros. Predefined customizable Smart Actions are included to help automate common tasks to get more done.

MX Keys S Combo
MX Keys S Combo features the new MX Keys S keyboard, fan-favorite MX Master 3S mouse and comfortable MX Palm Rest. Better together, this set enables faster and more precise work, ideal for skilled professionals focused on high levels of creation and maximum output. The keyboard's smart backlighting and customizable keys complement the mouse's quiet clicks, fast and precise scrolling and 8K DPI sensor that tracks on all surfaces, including glass.

MX Keys S
The MX Keys S Advanced Wireless Illuminated Keyboard provides a superior low-profile typing experience from Logitech, with keys shaped for your fingertips so the keyboard delivers fast, fluid and Perfect Stroke typing in a comfortable design. Equipped with smart illumination, the backlighting detects as the hands approach to illuminate the keyboard and automatically adjust depending on the room lighting condition, which can now be personalized in the Logi Options+ app. Available in Graphite and Pale Gray, MX Keys S features an improved keyboard layout with three new keys for ultimate productivity and collaboration: talk to text, mute/unmute microphone and emoji.

MX Anywhere 3S
Experience the speed, precision and silence of MagSpeed electromagnetic scrolling in Logitech's most advanced wireless compact mouse, ideal for advanced users who seek performance, portability and comfort anywhere. Enjoy Quiet Click technology, making clicking quieter than its predecessor (MX Anywhere 3). MX Anywhere 3S features an 8,000 DPI optical sensor that tracks on virtually any surface, including glass, as you move it with you to varied work spaces around the home or office. MX Anywhere 3S for Business comes with our Logi Bolt receiver to provide secure wireless and improved RF performance and includes Sync support for remote monitoring.

Approach to Sustainability
Logitech is committed to creating a more equitable and climate positive world by actively working to reduce our carbon impact. The design of the new MX products makes it a choice you can feel good about. The plastic parts in the MX Keys S, MX Keys S Combo and MX Anywhere 3S include certified post-consumer recycled plastic to give a second life to end-of-use plastic from old consumer electronics - minimum 11% for MX Keys S, minimum 22% for MX Master 3S (as part of MX Keys S Combo), and minimum 61% for MX Anywhere 3S. The aluminium plate inside the MX Keys S is made with renewable energy rather than fossil fuels for a lower carbon impact. The paper packaging comes from FSC -certified forests and other controlled sources. By choosing this product, you are supporting responsible management of the world's forests. All Logitech products are certified carbon neutral and use renewable energy where possible during manufacturing. When you purchase a Logitech product, the carbon footprint of that product has been reduced to zero by supporting forestry, renewables and climate-impacted communities.

Pricing and Availability
The MX Keys S, MX Keys S Combo and MX Anywhere 3S will be available globally in early June 2023 on logitech.com and at other global retailers. The suggested retail price for the MX Keys S is $109.99, the MX Keys S Combo is $199.99 and the MX Anywhere 3S is $79.99. The Logi Options+ app is available for download for free at logi.com/optionsplus. MX Anywhere 3S for Business will be available globally at $89.99.

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.
As an owner of two Bluetooth backlit keyboards, including an MX Keys mini, my immediate concern is battery life which is absolute dogshit on both.

Also, I still hate Logitech for not including their Nano receiver with the MX Keys mini. I know you can buy it separately but why* discriminate against the Mini? It's not like it's any cheaper than the regular full-sized MX Keys that comes with one!? At any rate, using the Nano receiver instead of Bluetooth is good for quadrupling the battery life to weeks rather than days.

(*- yes that's a rhetorical question because I know the answer is "profit margin and corporate greed")

The very reason I still prefer to put up with cables.

Also, that bundle is pricier than buying things individually. Unless the want $20+ for that palm rest...
