The short version

The MX Mechanical is Logitech's full-size low-profile mechanical keyboard for office and creative work, with tactile, clicky or linear switch options, Smart Illumination and Easy-Switch pairing with up to three devices over Bluetooth. Logi Options+ adds app-specific profiles and Smart Actions. Logitech's specification tab was not readable during this research, so battery life and weight are not recorded here. It suits typists who want mechanical feel in a slim layout rather than competitive gamers.

Cons

Common questions

What switch types are available?

Logitech offers the MX Mechanical with three low-profile switch types: tactile, clicky and linear.

Is the MX Mechanical good for gaming?

Logitech positions it for office and creative work rather than gaming, so buyers seeking competitive features such as Rapid Trigger should look at gaming keyboards instead.
