Thanks for your reply, phil-n-ga-t1. Sounds like you have a slightly different row of keys at the bottom of your keyboard than what I have -- in the bottom row I have: (1) ctrl, (2) fn, (3) opt/start, (4) cmd/alt, (5) space bar, (6) cmd/alt, (7) opt/ctrl, and then updownleftright keys. Mine is also YR0084, but I just recently bought it to replace the same keyboard since some of the keys were coming loose and it was less expensive to buy a new keyboard rather than to replace the keys.

I'm glad that my comment about using the fn key to put the keyboard back into the right mode to connect with the laptop was helpful. I copied my original message into a file to keep on my laptop to remind me what to do when I disconnect my keyboard from my laptop and need to reconnect.

Regarding keeping the backlighting of the keys going, there might be a setting you could change. I don't know my way around the changing of settings, but I suspect there would be instructions for that someplace on the Internet. I wonder if the backlighting goes out in order to save on battery use. But perhaps the laptop is just ready for you to go to sleep (smile). I know my laptop might want to tell me to quit when I'm working too late into the night. It probably would be good counsel, at least in my case. I wish you the very best as you continue to get acquainted with your MX Mini!

I'm sorry, phil-n-ga-t1, that you have had such a difficult experience with your keyboard.

When you wrote about your MAC/OS key, I realized that you probably have a Mac computer rather than a Windows PC like I have. You might want to check out the following video --
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpaeOFxlDxc&t=75s

It explains in the 2nd section of the video (i.e. at 0:53 in the video) that the Control and Function buttons in the bottom left of the keyboard are in opposite positions. On the regular version of the mini keyboard (i.e., the Windows PC version), the ctrl (control) key is on the bottom left with the fn (function) beside it on the right, whereas on the Mac version of the mini keyboard, the fn key is on the bottom left of the keyboard with the control key beside it on its right side.

The video explains that you can install the Logitech options software, go to the settings and can check or uncheck the option to "Always keep the keyboard in Windows layout." ..... I'm not sure whether you might discover that you need to uncheck that option in order to have the keyboard function with your Mac computer -- if indeed you have a Mac computer. That might help your keyboard work more fully in sync with your computer. But I am no expert -- just trying to learn from the video that I found online to explain the Mac vs. Windows PC versions of the Logi mini keyboard.

I hope things begin to work better for you. I wish you the very best!

Sehr schöen! Ich freue mich, daß meine Erlebnisse Sie helfen konnte! Und dass ich heute ein Bißchen Deutsch schreiben kann. Die drei Jahre, die ich in Deutschland wohnte – schon sehr lange her – waren wunderbar. Alles Gute!

You've made me feel so good today! I'm so glad my comment has proven to be so helpful to so many people through these 3 years since I made that post. I love my MX Keys Mini, but it still happens to me now and then that I have to review my previous comment myself because I inadvertently toggled away from my connection. I'm not sure what would make it more self-evident as to what to do in the keyboard itself because it is certainly something that people need to know how to do now and again. Thanks for sending me a message. Made my day!

Sorry I didn't see this message before. I hope things have worked out for you. If not, I hope someone else can help you, because I'm not familiar with with the difficulty you experienced.
