Logitech has recently submitted filings to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States for two new wireless keyboards,sparking speculation about updates to its popular MX Mechanical and MX Mechanical Mini lines. However, despite the certifications, a definitive release timeframe for these potential revisions remains unknown.
The filings,frist noted by a user on Reddit (u/Comprehensivemap8972),suggest that the changes are likely to be incremental rather than a complete overhaul of the existing models. According to analysis of the certification type, the updates appear to focus on minor hardware revisions, similar to those seen in past Logitech keyboard updates. This indicates users shouldn’t anticipate important functional differences from the current MX Mechanical and MX Mechanical Mini keyboards.
However, the FCC filings do open the door for potential aesthetic and tactile improvements. A “Class II Permissive Change” certification allows Logitech to modify the physical design of the keyboards without requiring a full re-certification. This could translate to changes such as revised keycaps – potentially offering new materials, profiles, or color options – and the possibility of quieter keyboard switches.
While the prospect of refined keycaps and quieter switches is appealing to enthusiasts, the FCC documentation itself provides no indication of when Logitech intends to launch these updated models. The certification process is a necessary step before a product can be sold, but it doesn’t dictate the release schedule.
Logitech has not yet officially commented on the FCC filings or announced any upcoming releases for the MX Mechanical keyboard series. Consumers interested in the latest details should monitor Logitech’s official website and news channels for further announcements.
