“Users directly comparing K580 vs MX Keys for desk use”r/logitech
Users who upgrade to the MX Keys from budget keyboards frequently describe the “spherically-shaped keys as an immediate adjustment” that quickly becomes something they can't type without. The proximity-activated backlight draws consistent praise from desk workers who find it “eliminates the annoyance of manually toggling illumination”. In direct Reddit comparisons against the K580, the MX Keys is treated as the obvious choice for anyone with a fixed desk setup and a willingness to spend more. The USB-C rechargeability is a quiet but meaningful quality-of-life upgrade that owners cite as “one of those features you don't appreciate until you go back”.
