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 left Ctrl key and what does it do?
On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the left Ctrl key sits at the bottom left of the keyboard, below the left Shift key. It types nothing on its own: held down, it forms the shortcuts Ctrl + C (copy), Ctrl + V (paste), Ctrl + Z (undo) or Ctrl + S (save). On a Mac, those shortcuts use Cmd instead.
About the Ctrl replacement key
Is your Ctrl key leaning, catching or off altogether? This Ctrl key for the Logitech MX Keys comes on its own, hinge included, and refits without tools. No copy here: the Ctrl key comes, pre-owned, from a dismantled keyboard, and arrives without the rubber dome, which stays on yours.
Compatibility
This Ctrl keycap fits the full-size MX Keys (MX Keys, MX Keys S and MX Keys for Mac) in the QWERTY (US) layout. On the MX Keys Mini, Ctrl and both Cmd / Alt keys are only 1.125 units wide, so this cap does not fit there.
The Ctrl key: position, size and wear
The Ctrl key is wider than a letter key. It is held for every shortcut, most often by the left little finger resting on its corner. On a cap this wide, an off-centre press loads only one side of the scissor hinge: that side is the one that splits, and the Ctrl key then leans towards it or catches.
How to install it
Fitting the Ctrl key takes no tools. Unclip the old cap from a corner, clear away the broken hinge, clip the new one in the same orientation, then press the middle and both ends in turn — a key this wide leans if one side is not engaged.
Ctrl key — questions
- Where is the left Ctrl key and what does it do?
- On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the left Ctrl key sits at the bottom left of the keyboard, below the left Shift key. It types nothing on its own: held down, it forms the shortcuts Ctrl + C (copy), Ctrl + V (paste), Ctrl + Z (undo) or Ctrl + S (save). On a Mac, those shortcuts use Cmd instead.
- Does this Ctrl keycap fit my Logitech MX Keys?
- 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 Ctrl key has exactly this shape there. Not on the MX Keys Mini, where Ctrl and both Cmd / Alt keys are narrower (1.125 units).
- Is the hinge included with the Ctrl key?
- Yes: cap and hinge arrive together. The dome, the small rubber cup that makes the Ctrl key spring back, is not part of the order; the one on your keyboard is reused, and a spare dome can be ordered on its own.
- My Ctrl key feels loose or uneven after fitting — what should I check?
- Take the Ctrl cap off again and check that the hinge is clipped onto all its anchor points; if a metal wire sits under the key, make sure it is engaged in its clips. Then press the centre of the Ctrl key before its ends.
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.
