How does the battery life compare between the Logitech MX Keys and Apple Magic Keyboard?

Question

Anyone care to speak how does the battery performance of the Logitech MX Keys compare to the battery performance of the Apple Magic Keyboard?

Answer 1

According to Apple, the Magic Keyboard, with usual use, is expected to be able to go up to one month or even a month and a half without needing to be charged. The keys have even more features, but they last for a shorter amount of time, as Logitech indicates about 10 days with smart illumination on, and about 5 months with it off. The MX Keys has a low battery warning system that the Apple Magic Keyboard lacks. Should it be the case that the battery is a primary concern, it really depends on the features you require and how often those features will be used.

Logitech MS Keys is definitely one of my best tech buys in 2022! And kudos for the good content. Thanks!

I heard there is a sporadic disconnection between the Mac and the Logitech keyboard.  Can you please confirm if you experience this sporadic disconnection problem?

I would avoid the mx keys. I bought one 15 months ago, and the paint is coming off the command key.  Logitech does not sell replacement keys, and the only third party key replacements have cmd|alt on the key and not command, so if i want to replace the key, it wont match the other command key.  The only way i can see to prevent this from happening is buying a silicone skin to cover your keys, and that make the typing experience less enjoyable.
