In my ongoing search for the “best” low profile mechanical keyboard to pair with my Macbook Pro, I couldn’t ignore the Logitech MX Mechanical Mini for Mac. Will a Mac-specific mechanical from big dog Logi take down my favorite Air75 from NuPhy?
I keep trying different low profile mechanical 75% keyboards thinking I’ll eventually find some “unicorn” board to pair with my Macbook, but so far the NuPhy Air75 has remained my top choice despite a couple of minor shortcomings. I’m no stranger to Logitech products, so when they released the MX Mechanical Mini for Mac, I had to give it a try. Will it be my new favorite? Check out the video below to find out.
