Logitech MX Keys: A Wireless Keyboard with a Twist

If you're a fan of the Logitech MX Keys wireless keyboard, you know it's designed to adapt to whatever operating system you're using. This means that when connected to an Apple device, the corresponding keys will work as they should (cmd, alt, opt). When connected to a Windows device, the keys will then be the standard Start, Alt keys.

However, some users have reported an issue with the Logitech MX Keys keyboard where the ALT and Start keys switch places. This can be frustrating, especially if you're used to having certain commands at your fingertips.

The Solution: Remapping the Right Alt Key

To remap the right alt key on your Logitech MX Keys keyboard, follow these steps:

1. Click on Apple and open System Preferences.
2. Choose International and under Input menu tab choose to show key board viewer.
3. You will now see a US Flag icon on the top menu bar near the date and time.
4. Click on that and choose to Show Key board viewer.
5. You will get the keyboard layout on the screen.

From here, you can remap the right alt key by dragging it to the desired position on the keyboard layout. For example, if you want to change languages (e.g., English to Korean), you can remap the right alt key to the opt key.

Tips and Tricks

* If you're looking for a way to swap layouts without having to remap every single key, consider holding down the fn key sequence for 3 seconds. This will allow you to switch between different keyboard layouts.
* The Logitech MX Keys keyboard also has a feature called "Capture" that allows you to capture screenshots and save them to a folder of your choice. By default, the capture key (camera icon) triggers a resizeable area, with CTRL-capture giving the current window and ALT-capture giving the whole screen.

Overall, the Logitech MX Keys is a great wireless keyboard for programmers and anyone who wants a reliable and adaptive keyboard solution. With its ability to remap keys and swap layouts, it's a great option for those who need flexibility in their workflow.
