Logitech MX Keys S Combo (Keyboard + MX Master 3S)

What we like

  • Cheaper than buying the keyboard and mouse separately
  • MagSpeed scroll wheel and 8K DPI sensor on the mouse
  • Backlit keys with proximity sensing and adaptive brightness
  • Pairs with up to 3 devices over Bluetooth or Bolt

Could be better

  • Mouse is right-handed only

Full Review

If someone asks me what keyboard and mouse to put on their desk and they don’t care about mechanical switches or gaming, this is the answer. The MX Keys S Combo pairs Logitech’s two flagship productivity peripherals with a single Logi Bolt dongle and knocks a chunk off the price of buying them separately.

The Keyboard

MX Keys S is a full-size wireless keyboard with spherically-dished keys that feel close to a good laptop keyboard — flat, quiet, and precise. The backlighting is smarter than most: proximity sensors light the keys as your hands approach, and an ambient light sensor dials brightness up or down automatically.

Smart Actions is the new-ish feature worth mentioning. You can bind a single key to a multi-step macro across apps via Logi Options+. It’s niche, but handy for repetitive workflows like “open Slack, mute notifications, switch to focus profile.”

The Mouse

MX Master 3S is the mouse half, and it’s the one most reviewers (myself included) would call the best productivity mouse on the market. The MagSpeed scroll wheel shifts between ratcheted and freewheel modes automatically — flick it and it spins for seconds, letting you blast through long documents. The 8K DPI sensor tracks on glass. Clicks are 90% quieter than the 3, which matters more than you’d expect on video calls.

The Bundle Value

The real reason to buy the combo rather than the pieces: one Logi Bolt dongle pairs both devices, freeing a USB port. Pricing usually runs $30-$50 below buying them individually, and both come in the same color so your desk looks intentional. If you already own one half, buy the other standalone — but if you’re starting fresh, the bundle is a no-brainer.

Who Should Buy This

Anyone setting up a new productivity desk who types a lot, uses a mouse for real work (design, spreadsheets, coding), and wants a quiet, premium feel without going mechanical. If you want tactile switches and hot-swappable keys, look at the MX Mechanical instead. If you’re left-handed, the Master 3S is a deal-breaker — consider the MX Anywhere 3S or a trackball.
