Our Verdict
Logitech MX Keys Mini
Logitech POP Keys
The Logitech MX Keys Mini and the Logitech POP Keys are both compact wireless keyboards. The MX Keys Mini is a thin, low-profile board with scissor switches. It uses a rechargeable battery, so you can continue to use it while it charges, and it has white backlighting to help you see your keys in the dark. On the other hand, the POP Keys has tactile TTC Brown mechanical switches, and it features five dedicated emoji keys that you can reprogram to whatever emojis you use most when messaging friends, family, or coworkers.
