The MX Keys Mini is essentially the PC equivalent of Apple's Magic Keyboard, but it's better because almost anything is better than the Magic Keyboard. It's a 60% super-slim keyboard with both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth wireless, multi-device pairing, and some options for layout customization via Logitech's desktop software. You can read my full review of the MX Keys Mini for more details.
This isn't the absolute most recent model of the MX Keys design, but the only real difference is that the newer MX Keys S is a little quieter.

Happy Memorial Day, Short Wavers! This holiday, we bring you a meditation on time ... and clocks. There are hundreds of atomic clocks in orbit right now, perched on satellites all over Earth. We depend on them for GPS location, Internet timing, stock trading and even space navigation. In today's encore episode, hosts Emily Kwong and Regina G. Barber learn how to build a better clock. In order to do that, they ask: How do atomic clocks really work, anyway? What makes a clock precise? And how could that process be improved for even greater accuracy?
- For more about Holly's Optical Atomic Strontium Ion Clock, check out the OASIC project on NASA's website. - For more about the Longitude Problem, check out Dava Sobel's book, Longitude.
