Yes, you can use Logitech MX Keys and MX Master together on the same computer. Pair each device with that computer using Bluetooth or a compatible receiver, then use them as a keyboard and mouse as usual.
The keyboard and mouse connect separately. If keyboard lighting matters, compare backlit keyboards for PCs.
They don't need to share one receiver or use the same connection method, but both need a connection the computer supports.
Can you use Logitech MX Keys and MX Master together?
Yes, Logitech MX Keys and MX Master can work together as a keyboard and mouse on one computer. Pair the keyboard and mouse individually, and check that the connection type you choose works with both devices.
An MX Master mouse does not replace the keyboard's connection. If the keyboard uses Bluetooth and the mouse uses a compatible receiver, the computer can use both connections at once.
If your computer has limited USB ports, Bluetooth may help reduce receiver use. For other setups, a wired keyboard is another way to avoid relying on a wireless keyboard connection.
How do you pair the keyboard and mouse with one computer?
Pair each device through the computer's Bluetooth settings or its supported receiver. The exact button sequence and menu names vary by keyboard model and operating system, so follow the instructions for your specific MX Keys and MX Master versions.
For Bluetooth, put one device into pairing mode, select it in the computer's Bluetooth settings, and complete the prompts. Repeat those steps for the other device.
For a receiver connection, make sure the receiver is compatible with the device. A USB receiver that works with one Logitech device is not automatically compatible with every other Logitech device.
The MX Master 2S connects through Bluetooth and is described as connecting to up to 3 Mac or PC computers. It can suit a setup where you want a mouse that can be paired with more than one computer.
The Bluetooth MX Master 3S version connects to up to 3 devices, and its product details say it works across Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, and Linux. It does not include a USB receiver or charging cable, so Bluetooth is the connection option in this version.
Can the keyboard and mouse switch computers together?
You can pair both with compatible computers, but switch the keyboard and mouse to the same computer when you want to use them as a set. Select the computer on each device using its device-switch controls, following each model's instructions.
The MX Master 2S and the Bluetooth MX Master 3S support connections with up to 3 computers or devices. The MX Keys model matters too: check its documentation for how many devices it can pair with and how to switch between them.
Logitech Flow is a separate feature of some compatible Logitech setups. The MX Master 3S product details describe Flow for moving between computers, but don't assume that this alone pairs or switches the keyboard.
Confirm software and keyboard compatibility before relying on a shared workflow.

Which MX Master connection should you choose?
Choose Bluetooth when the computer supports it and you want to avoid using a USB receiver. Choose a receiver connection only when the specific mouse and receiver are compatible and you prefer that setup.
The Bluetooth MX Master 3S version here is explicitly receiver-free. If you need a USB connection for the mouse, verify the exact version before you buy and see our guide to which receiver works with your Logitech MX Master mouse.
The MX Master 3S Performance Wireless Mouse is identified as a model with a Bolt receiver. Check the exact included components and receiver compatibility for the version you choose.
What should you check before setting up the pair?
Check the model names, supported connection methods, and computer compatibility for both devices. “MX Keys” and “MX Master” cover multiple versions, so the product family name alone doesn't confirm the same pairing steps or included accessories.
Confirm that Bluetooth is available if that's your intended connection. If you're using a receiver, check which receiver technology the mouse and keyboard support; a receiver included with one device may not pair with the other.
For a Mac setup, see using a Logitech MX Master mouse with a Mac. If you're comparing mouse options, our Logitech MX Master 3S review and guide to Logitech MX Master vs MX Master 3S cover that choice.
Is the MX Master a good fit for your setup?
The MX Master can fit a setup where you want a wireless mouse alongside an MX Keys keyboard, especially if you need to switch among computers. Pick the connection method around your computer's ports and wireless support.
Choose the Bluetooth MX Master 2S if you want Bluetooth and support for up to 3 Mac or PC computers. Choose the Bluetooth MX Master 3S if you want a receiver-free model that pairs with up to 3 devices, or compare the receiver-equipped version if Bluetooth isn't your preference.
Your keyboard and mouse don't have to use the same connection. Confirm that each one can connect to the computer you plan to use, then pair and switch them separately; for more mouse context, see Logitech MX Master gaming use, Logitech MX Master vs MX Vertical, and best Logitech MX Master alternatives.
