Plug the USB-C cable at the top right corner of your keyboard. You can continue typing while it is charging.
Smart backlighting
Your keyboard has an embedded ambient light sensor that reads and adapts the level of backlighting accordingly.

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. -
Low battery
When your keyboard reaches 10% of battery left, backlighting turns OFF and you get a battery notification on the screen.
-
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-enabled Logitech mouse, such as MX Master 3, you can work and type on multiple computers with the same mouse and keyboard using Logitech Flow technology.
You can use the mouse cursor to move from one computer to the next. The MX Keys keyboard will follow the mouse and switch computers at the same time. You can even copy and paste between computers. You will need to install Logi Options+ software on both computers and follow these instructions.
You can check which other mice are Flow enabled here.
