Our Verdict
Logitech MX Keys Mini
Keychron B1/B6 Pro
The Logitech MX Keys Mini and the Keychron B1 Pro are wireless, low-profile keyboards designed for productivity and everyday browsing. The Logitech has better overall build quality, with higher quality materials and a more premium-feeling typing experience. It also features per-key backlighting and shine-through legends, which the Keychron lacks. In contrast, the Keychron offers superior software customizability with web-based software and ZMK firmware support. It also supports both Bluetooth and a 2.4GHz wireless connection, the latter of which the Keychron lacks.
