![]() įor years, most Logitech bluetooth keyboards will pair with up to three devices.The versions with the Cherry MX style keycaps remind me more of the better keyboards of yesteryear, not today’s chiclet designs which are nonsensical for desktop keyboards. I own several including one K2, a low profile TKL model. Here are a couple if other low-profile 75% keyboards that are "made for Mac":īasically the same layout, with different treatments for the top row of keys. But it looks like an optical illusion, so that's good that it really is "standard". So, if the keys don't look the right size, they did something wrong as buyers typical want the option to have replaceable key caps on this sort of keyboard. It's a mechanical keyboard with replaceable keycaps. Then, Logitech did not put the sound volume controls in F10-F12. It's probably an optical illusion that the right side cmd, fn and opt keys, the esc and tilde keys appear less wide than they should be. As you can see, this keyboard uses F4 for the now-discontinued Dashboard. The alternate functions (screen brightness, keyboard brightness, media control, volume control) are all at the discretion of the keyboard manufacturer. There's generally no standard for the function key row apart from putting the Esc key in the upper left and having twelve function keys due to software conventions. This layout has been like this for decades. It's the same if you look at a PC keyboard. Again, this is normal and it's not specific to Apple/Mac keyboards. However the offset between the QWE and ASD rows is much smaller. Note that the ASD and ZXC rows are offset by half the width of a standard key. In the case of the Logitech keyboard and this Apple wireless keyboard, the keycaps are narrower than the base of Cherry MX keycaps. There's a standard width between the center of each of the main keys. That key is elsewhere on the full sized wired keyboard. See how the four arrow keys are half sized? Here the function key is on the lower left. It should be pointed out that Apple themselves have futzed around with the keyboard layout on their smaller keyboards: The other keys (tab, caps lock, shift, control, command, option) have to be adjusted for the constraints of the 65% layout which is one key wider than the main layout. ![]() The lens on the camera might be making things look different but all the central keys are the same dimension. The normal keys are all regular sized keycaps. If it is for Mac, why are the functions in the function key row different from a Mac laptop keyboard? There's always something. Some of the keys on the Mx Mechanical mini for Mac keyboard don't look to be standard width and are less wide. There isn't one perfect keyboard, or mouse for that matter. It's amazing how keyboards can have so many keys, yet have these weird imperfections.
