Do the MX Keys Mini and Magic Keyboard have different key designs?

Question

What are the particular features that separate the two keyboards’ designs viz the MX Keys Mini and the Magic Keyboard?

Answer 1

A great contrast exists between the MX Keys Mini and its competitors. Keys on the MX Keys come in a light gray color. Each key features a circular indentation to fit the shape of the user's fingers, a design element that is lacking in the Magic Keyboard’s flat white keys which resemble a MacBook's.

I have both. I think you're underestimating the difference in feel, which only becomes more pronounced the more you use them. MX Keys is like typing on a pillow. Magic Keyboard is like typing on metal. MX Keys does feel a bit slower to type on though. But still worth it for the overall softer feel.

I've been hammering away at a Magic Keyboard I borrowed and found typing surprisingly satisfying. However the cursor keys to the bottom right is too small and I end up pressing "shift" instead of "up" many times. The MX cursor keys (may) have a better layout (the "up" key still sits close to the "shift" but is left empty to either side which may help feel like the "up" button for the user). That's possibly the only downside I find on the Magic Keyboard.

For touch typing, the magic keyboard is simply terrible. After the keyboard in the MacBook it is not possible to use it. In the end, wasted money. (especially if you're used to a MacBook laptop keyboard)

A very big problem and this is the difference between the magic and the keyboard in a MacBook is the free space above the arrows. They can be used in touch typing on a MacBook and are completely impossible on a magic device. After 2 weeks I still haven’t gotten used to it.

I bought a second keyboard MX KEYS mini for mac. And it's a pleasure. It's heavier and feels more plastic, but it's very comfortable. The layout of the buttons on MX Keys it is almost like on a MacBook Pro.
No need to get used to it, you can work immediately after using your MacBook
