Samsung releases Smart Keyboard to rival popular Logitech MX Keys Mini with Bluetooth 5.4 and three-way multi-device connectivity
For years, Logitech has had the Tenkeyless (TKL) wireless keyboard market sewn up for office and home office purposes with the MX Keys Mini series. Moreover, the company offers a mechanical alternative called the MX Mechanical Mini. Incidentally, it seems that Logitech is preparing to refresh the latter with a new model alongside a larger MX Mechanical, too.
In the meantime Samsung has released its Smart Keyboard, a TKL wireless keyboard that goes toe-to-toe with the MX Keys Mini on features. On the one hand, the Smart Keyboard weighs over 55% less than the MX Keys Mini at 218 g, despite containing 80 keys. Additionally, each key is said to deliver 19 mm within the Smart Keyboard's 111.5 x 280.3 mm housing.
Also, the Smart Keyboard boasts Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity with three-way multi-device pairing. Please note that Samsung includes DeX-specific keyboard specifics, although its 'AI Short Key' brings up Copilot in Windows too. The Smart Keyboard runs off a CR2032 coin cell battery too, rather than the rechargeable Li-Po battery inside the MX Keys Mini that will degrade over time.
Samsung sells the Smart Keyboard in a single silver finish with dark grey key caps. Currently, the keyboard is available across the Eurozone, Hong Kong and the US. While Samsung has priced the Smart Keyboard at $109.99, the keyboard can be ordered on Amazon for under $100 at the time of writing.
