What are the setup processes for the Logitech MX Keys and Apple Magic Keyboard?

Question

Could someone explain the procedures which are necessary in order to accomplish the setup for the Logitech MX Keys and the Apple Magic Keyboard?

Answer 1

The setup of either the Logitech MX Keys or the Apple Magic Keyboard is not complicated. In the case of the Apple Magic Keyboard, it is enough to turn the keyboard on, go to the Bluetooth settings on the Mac computer, and connect it. Wired mode is available too, through the Lightning to USB-A cable that comes with the device. Logitech MX Keys follows a similar procedure but also lets the user use a USB-C to USB-A cable for wired connection. Furthermore, it should be noted that MX Keys was shipped with an adapter which is for devices that do not have a Bluetooth connection, and also required the installation of Logitech Options for full functionality.

Great content. Can Apple Magic Keyboard connected with 2 devices like a Macbook and an iPad?

Perhaps you could verify something you mentioned, considering the Logitech MX for Mac with usb-c only. Many users/reviewers have stated that Logitech will connect/pair only with bluetooth, i.e. the usb-c will only serve to charge the keyboard not provide connectivity. Which is it? Thanks.

The cable only works for charging on the mx keys. You cannot use it to connect the keyboard to the mac

Are you sure I can use just wired mode with MX Keys? It's looks like this is impossible with this board without any radio link over. It use wire only for charging.
