In a day of Amazon announcements, Logitech introduced its new Designed for Mac line of keyboards and mice for Apple users.
The new releases include two keyboards, namely the MX Mechanical Mini and the K380 Multi-Device Bluetooth Keyboard, and two mice, namely the MX Master 3S and Lift.

MX Mechanical Mini
The MX Mechanical Mini features a tactile Mac keyboard layout (with command and option keys) with a backlit keyboard with a proximity sensor that only lights up when it detects your hands/fingers approaching. The backlight adapts to the lighting conditions in your room and can be set in multiple modes including Breathing, Contrast, Wave, Random and Response.
Going into the Logi Options+ app lets you customize keys, check battery life, set backlight effects and assign app-specific profiles, and the keyboard can be paired with up to three devices, including Macs, iPads, and iPhones.
The keyboard can be used wired (USB-C) or wirelessly, and Logitech says the keyboard will run for about 15 days on a full charge and can last up to 10 months on a full charge with the backlight off. It has a wireless range of up to 10m and comes with a one-year limited hardware warranty.
The MX Mechanical Mini is available in Pale Gray and Space Gray for $199.99.
K380 multi-device Bluetooth keyboard
The second keyboard on the list is one for lovers of minimalist design. The K380 Multi-Device Bluetooth Keyboard is similar to Logitech’s Pop Keys keyboard, but in a chiclet/island layout with round keys.
The K380 is a pure wireless keyboard that runs on two pre-installed AAA alkaline batteries. According to Logitech, the batteries last about two years. The small form factor keyboard works with Macs and also connects to your iPad and iPhone. Similar to the MX Mechanical Mini, the K380 can also be paired with up to three devices at the same time.
The K380 Multi-Device Bluetooth Keyboard is available in Blueberry, Off-White, and Rose colors for $39.99.
MX Master 3S
The Mx Master 3S for Mac is an ergonomic mouse that’s an exact replica of the company’s MX Master 3s, but with support for macOS and iPadOS.
The mouse features an 8,000 DPI optical sensor, which Logitech says makes using the mouse on surfaces like glass feel seamless. It has an electromagnetic MagSpeed scroll wheel that can scroll 1,000 lines per second while being “almost silent”.
Similar to the devices above, the MX Master 3S can be paired with up to three devices at a time and customized with app-specific button presets from the Logi Options+ application.
It has a total of six buttons, namely the scroll wheel, a mode shift button, a thumb wheel, two side buttons and a gesture button.
According to Logitech, the mouse lasts 70 days on a full charge and can be used for up to three hours on a one-minute charge.
The Mx Master 3S for Mac is available in Pale Gray and Space Gray for $129.99.
Elevator for Mac
Last on the list is the ergonomic lift mouse. Logitech says the mouse’s design is meant for you to hold it at a 57-degree angle, which is a “natural handshake position.” The design puts less pressure on your wrist and puts your arm and upper body in a more natural position. The mouse is perfect for those who work on the computer all day.
The mouse has a thumb rest and easily accessible buttons. Similar to the Mx Master 3S, Lift also has a quiet scroll wheel and “whisper-quiet” clicks. It connects to up to three macOS and iPadOS devices and offers up to two years of battery life on a single AA battery.
Lift for Mac is available in white for $89.99.
