The MX Keys Mini is the compact version of the MX Keys launched in 2021. It uses the same scissor keys as the standard MX Keys, with two exceptions: the spacebar is shorter (5U instead of 6.25U) and the keyboard has no numpad. A broken key on MX Keys Mini is repaired exactly the same way as on MX Keys, with the same universal hinge. Key pricing is identical: €8 letter, €11 modifier, €15 spacebar (but in Mini version).
Diagnostic
Proceed as for a standard MX Keys: if the key fell off and the hinge is intact, put it back for free. If the hinge is split or broken, order a universal hinge (€5) or a new key with hinge included. Beware of the spacebar: do not order the standard MX Keys bar, specifically take the MX Keys Mini bar.
