Logitech is today launching a new ‘Designed for Mac’ brand, presenting a range of keyboard and mice aimed at Apple users.
This includes a new MX Mechanical Mini for Mac keyboard, with low-profile tactile switches and backlighting activated by proximity sensor, available in Space Gray and Pale Gray finishes. A color-matched MX Master 3S mouse is also on sale now. Logitech is also releasing a new vertical ‘Lift’ mouse and a new blueberry colorway for their circular keycap K380 keyboard.
The first round of Designed for Mac accessories are very similar to Logitech’s existing offerings for Windows, that have touted Mac support for a while. In a briefing, Logitech explained that these accessories have been specially tested to work with the Bluetooth stack of Apple devices and as a sign of confidence, do not come with a Bluetooth dongle in the boxes.
The keyboards feature Mac-compatible layouts like ‘command’ and ‘option’, but the function key rows lacks a shortcut for opening Mission Control. The optional Logi Options+ utility can be used to remap keys to match user preferences.
The MX Mechanical Mini is priced at $149.99. It features tactile mechanical key switches in a design only about ten percent larger in volume than Apple’s Magic Keyboard. It also features backlighting with a clever proximity sensor activation; the keyboard lights up automatically as your hands approach the keys.
