Our Verdict
Logitech MX Keys S
Logitech Signature Slim Keyboard K950
The Logitech MX Keys S and the Logitech Signature Slim Keyboard K950 are similar low-profile, wireless keyboards designed for productivity and everyday desktop use. The MX Keys S offers a more premium-feeling build quality and typing quality. Its keycaps, in particular, feel higher quality and have small dish-shaped tops that help better center your fingers while typing. It also has full white backlighting with shine-through keycaps. On the other hand, the Signature Slim Keyboard K950 has cheaper feeling materials and flat keycaps. It also lacks backlighting, and unlike the MX Keys, which recharges with a USB cable, the SIgnature K950 uses replaceable AAA batteries.
