1. Backlight level notifications

2. Backlighting disabled
There are two factors that will disable backlighting:
When your keyboard has only 10% of battery left when you try to enable backlighting,
this message will appear. If you want backlight back, plug your keyboard to charge.
When the environment around you is too bright, your keyboard will automatically
disable backlighting to avoid using it when not needed. This will also allow you to use
it longer with backlight in low light conditions. You will see this notification when you
try to turn backlighting ON.
3. Low battery
When your keyboard reaches 10% of battery left, backlighting turns OFF and you get a
battery notification on the screen.
4. F-Keys switch
Press Fn + Esc to swap between Media keys and F-Keys. We’ve added a notification to
let you know you’ve swapped.

Logitech Flow
You can work on multiple computers with your MX Keys keyboard. With a Flow-
