The Logitech MX Keys S is a critical darling among keyboards: a premium wireless productivity board that feels good under your fingers and types incredibly quietly. It’s now $109.99 at Walmart, which is “only” a $20 price cut but don’t roll your eyes. The MX Keys S is so popular and well-regarded that it rarely goes on sale, and when it does, it’s never a huge drop. Scoring it at this price is a real opportunity.
I own this keyboard myself and I’ll praise it to the moon and back. It’s the ideal model if you prefer low-profile keys and hush-hush typing. It feels like a laptop keyboard more than a chunky desktop one, and all the keys are slightly scooped for efficient guiding of your fingertips. You can easily type without looking and never lose your home keys.
But the thing I love most about the MX Keys S is its solid build. The plastic exterior is built around an aluminum internal plate, so it’s structurally rigid and can withstand many years of use. The keys are backlit and automatically light up as your hands approach, so it’s practical to use even in dark environments. It wirelessly connects to up to three devices, and you can switch between with a single button press.
The main caveat here is that this is NOT a gaming keyboard. The wireless latency is too high for responsive controls, and you’ll definitely feel it whether you’re in a single-player RPG or online esports. The other caveat is that while it can automate repetitive keystrokes with its “Smart Actions” feature, you’ll need the Logi Options+ app—which isn’t bad necessarily, but it can be blocked by IT on corporate computers.
Logitech products come with Logitech markups, but if you’re in the market for a slim, quiet, high-quality wireless office keyboard, you can’t go wrong with this one. I know $109.99 sounds like a lot for an unglamorous board, but that’s the best price it’s been in the past year.
