Introduction
Logitech is a Swiss-based computer peripherals and software company founded in 1981. Conceived primarily with AI and development in mind, the MX Keypad offers eleven buttons in total, nine of which are LCD keys, which can be assigned all kinds of functions, ranging from OS-level media, run, or widget functions to application-level controls for AI applications, Microsoft Office, Slack, and many others through plugins. Configuration is done through Logitech Options+, which includes the Logi marketplace, offering icons, profiles, and plugins. To further underline the AI focus, a three-month GitHub Copilot Pro+ subscription is included with the MX Keypad. The MX Keypad is available in either Graphite or Pale Grey colorways.

Packaging
Inside the box, one finds the MX Keypad, a stand, a USB Type-C to Type-C cable, and warranty information.
The cable has a measured length of 1.45 m, and the jacket is made of rubber. Due to its stiffness, the cable is best routed through the cable slot at the back of the stand.
The stand puts the MX keypad at a fixed angle of roughly 45°, and the cable can be routed through a cable slot at the back. Even though the stand does have a rubber base, pushing the keys with above average force will move the stand (and the keypad itself with it) around.
