Setup
Initial Charging
Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge your MX Keys Mini keyboard. Connect the supplied USB-C charging cable to the keyboard's USB-C port and the other end to a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). The battery indicator light will show charging status.

Connecting Your Keyboard
The MX Keys Mini can connect to up to three devices via Bluetooth Low Energy. To pair:
- Turn on the keyboard using the power switch located on the top edge.
- Press and hold one of the Easy-Switch keys (1, 2, or 3) for three seconds until the LED light on the key starts blinking rapidly. This indicates the keyboard is in pairing mode.
- On your device (computer, tablet, or phone), open Bluetooth settings and select 'MX Keys Mini' from the list of available devices.
- Follow any on-screen prompts to complete the pairing process.
You can switch between paired devices by simply pressing the corresponding Easy-Switch key (1, 2, or 3).

Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain your keyboard's appearance and functionality, regularly clean it with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the surface or keycaps.
Battery Care
The MX Keys Mini is equipped with a rechargeable LiPo battery. To maximize battery life:
- Charge the keyboard when the battery indicator is low.
- Avoid exposing the keyboard to extreme temperatures.
- If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to about 50% before storage.
The keyboard can last up to 10 days on a full charge with backlighting on, or up to 5 months with backlighting turned off.
Troubleshooting
Connection Issues
- Keyboard not connecting: Ensure the keyboard is turned on and fully charged. Re-initiate pairing mode by holding an Easy-Switch key for 3 seconds.
- Intermittent connection: Move the keyboard closer to your device. Ensure there are no strong wireless interferences (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, other Bluetooth devices) nearby.
- Device not recognizing keyboard: Try restarting both the keyboard and your device. Ensure your device's Bluetooth is enabled and functioning correctly.
Backlighting Not Working
- No backlight: Check the battery level; backlighting is disabled when the battery is critically low.
- Backlight too dim/bright: Adjust manually using the F5 (dimmer) and F6 (brighter) keys.
- Backlight turns off too quickly: This is normal behavior to conserve battery. The backlight reactivates when hands approach or a key is pressed.
