The MX Keys S is the 2024 revision of the MX Keys with two notable changes: a new SMART ACTIONS button, slightly more efficient backlight LEDs and a return to a more understated look. Mechanically, the MX Keys S keys are identical to the original MX Keys (920-009295 reference). A broken key is repaired the same way, and the hinges are interchangeable. Identical pricing: €8 letter, €11 modifier, €15 spacebar.
