Optional but handy: the spudger lifts the key without scratching or bending the mechanism, and the thin blade of the flat screwdriver unhooks the plastic hinge and helps clip it back in.

On these keyboards, this genuine MX Keys key takes the place of the official one: same scissor mechanism and mounting, with a legend and finish that may differ slightly.
Where is the 6 key on the numeric keypad and what does it do?
On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the 6 key on the numeric keypad sits between the 5 and +, below the 9. With Num Lock on, it types 6; with Num Lock off, it acts as the Right arrow, the function printed under the digit. If the keypad moves the cursor instead of typing, press Num Lock.
About the 6 (Num) replacement key
An incomplete keypad slows down every figure you type: this 6 (Num) key for the MX Keys, shipped with its hinge, replaces the missing one. A genuine salvaged part: the 6 (Num) key is taken, pre-owned, from a dismantled keyboard and shipped without a dome.
Compatibility
This 6 (Num) keycap fits the full-size MX Keys (MX Keys, MX Keys S and MX Keys for Mac), the only ones with a numeric keypad: the MX Keys Mini has none, so there is no place for it there. The legend is that of the QWERTY (US) layout.
The 6 (Num) key: position, size and wear
The numeric keypad exists only on the full-size MX Keys, and its keys are hammered in quick one-handed runs during data entry. With no metal wire under a one-unit cap, the 6 (Num) key rests entirely on its scissor hinge. A press at an angle, a fingernail slipped underneath or a vigorous clean is enough to tear one of its clips.
How to install it
Allow under a minute to refit the 6 (Num) key, bare-handed or with a plastic spudger: free the old hinge if it is broken, clip the new one in the same orientation, then press straight down on the cap until you feel a soft click. To test it, turn Num Lock on first; otherwise the keypad moves the cursor instead of typing.
6 (Num) key — questions
- Where is the 6 key on the numeric keypad and what does it do?
- On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the 6 key on the numeric keypad sits between the 5 and +, below the 9. With Num Lock on, it types 6; with Num Lock off, it acts as the Right arrow, the function printed under the digit. If the keypad moves the cursor instead of typing, press Num Lock.
- Is the 6 (Num) key compatible with my MX Keys keyboard?
- Yes, if it is a full-size MX Keys (MX Keys, MX Keys S and MX Keys for Mac) in the QWERTY (US) layout. The MX Keys Mini has no numeric keypad.
- Is the hinge included with the 6 (Num) key?
- Yes. The 6 (Num) key ships with its scissor hinge, so it also fixes a key that lost its clip. The rubber dome under the 6 (Num) key is not included: yours stays on the keyboard, and a spare can be ordered separately if it is damaged.
- My 6 (Num) key moves the cursor instead of typing — do I need a new one?
- Not necessarily: if the whole keypad does the same, Num Lock is off. Press it once; the MX Keys has no indicator light, but Logi Options+ can show its status on screen. If only this key fails, its hinge or dome is at fault.
Check your keyboard's brand
You are looking at a Logitech key. Keycap and hinge differ between brands: this key will not fit an Apple keyboard.
