Backlight Level Notifications

Change the backlight level and know in real-time what level you have. Visual indicators show different levels of backlighting.

Backlighting Disabled

There are two factors that will disable backlighting:

• Low battery: When your keyboard has only 10% of battery left, attempting to enable backlighting will display a message. Plug your keyboard to charge to restore backlighting.
• Bright environment: When the environment around you is too bright, your keyboard will automatically disable backlighting to conserve power. This allows for longer use in low light conditions. You will see a notification when trying to turn backlighting ON in such conditions.

Low Battery

When your keyboard reaches 10% of battery left, backlighting turns OFF, and you receive a battery notification on the screen.

F-Keys Switch

Press Fn + Esc to swap between Media keys and F-Keys. A notification will appear to confirm the swap. Visual indicators show the current mode (Media Keys or F-Keys).

NOTE: By default, the keyboard has direct access to Media Keys.

Logitech Flow

You can work on multiple computers with your MX Keys keyboard. With a Flow-enabled Logitech mouse, such as the MX Master 3, you can work and type on multiple computers using the same mouse and keyboard with Logitech Flow technology.

You can use the mouse cursor to move from one computer to the next. The MX Keys keyboard will follow the mouse and switch computers simultaneously. You can also copy and paste between computers.

You will need to install Logitech Options software on both computers and follow these instructions.

You can check which other mice are Flow enabled here.

A diagram illustrates seamless multi-computer operation. It shows a desktop computer and a laptop side-by-side. A mouse is positioned on the laptop. Arrows indicate data transfer: one labeled "CMD+C" moving from the laptop screen to the desktop screen (copy), and another labeled "CTRL+V" moving from the desktop screen back to the laptop screen (paste). Both screens display "PROJECT 07". This visual represents how Logitech Flow enables copy-pasting and cursor movement between devices.
