What are the best low profile keyboards for Mac, PC, or iPad?

Question

Can someone suggest the best Mac, PC or iPad compatible low profile and chiclet style keyboards?

Answer 1

If you want a low-profile, chiclet style keyboard that is easy to add to your Mac, PC, or even an iPad, the Logitech MX Keys Mini & Apple Magic keyboard are among the best.

I tried both. Logitech MX Keys Mini wins for me. :)

Honestly, you made a clear argument that the MX Mini is clearly the winner. The Apple keyboard has several shortcomings that were innovatively integrated into the keyboard: the backlight function, long-lasting charge, & ergonomically better. I am a minimalist but, I am also a maximalist. I need the best bang for the EDC or just all my devices. Sounds like the MX Mini is better.

I have all three generations of the magic keyboard and recently picked up the mx keys for mac and it is my favorite keyboard of all I've ever owned. I spent nearly $300 on a Das 4 mechanical with a usb-c and audio input on it with blank keycaps and I prefer the typing experience on the mx keys to the Das. I really enjoy my brother's keychron, too, but I really enjoy the feel of the mx keys, again, I'm running the mac specific mx keys (full sized). Either way, they're all pretty nice keyboards.

In the past I have had to purchase 2 Apple magic keyboards because they keep failing as well as 2 magic trackpads as well. the keys get stuck all the time. Enough. I bought the Logitech MX keyboard and the MX Master 3 mouse for my mouse and I have had it for over a year. No problems, except that often times the Mac will come out of sleep mode.

Hi, I am using windows laptop only, and wondering which is better. However, I personally prefer Apple product. Do also let me know if there's any issue with using Apple keyboard on windows laptop, thanks.

I just bought the apple wireless keyboard. So far - zero lag and very light. I use it with my ipad. I'm moving from a logitech 10.5 combo touch case and the apple keyboard has a slightly larger layout/keys. Its also slightly deeper key presses. Its no mechanical keyboard. But a good compromise.

Great content. I like my keyboard as flat as light as possible, so for me Apple Magic Keyboard wins. I haven't found a keyboard more flatter than Apple's yet. The flatness is easier on wrists on my opinion.
