Recommended tools for some keys
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 * key on the numeric keypad and what does it do?
On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the * key on the numeric keypad sits at the top of the keypad, between / and −, above the 9. It types an asterisk, the multiplication sign, in a calculator or a spreadsheet. Unlike the keypad digits, it does not depend on Num Lock.
About the × (Num) replacement key
The × (Num) key from the Logitech MX Keys numeric keypad, supplied with its hinge, to get a complete keypad back when a key has broken or vanished. Genuine Logitech and pre-owned, the × (Num) key was removed from another keyboard; only the rubber dome is not included.
Compatibility
This × (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 × (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 × (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
Fitting takes no tools. If the old hinge under the × (Num) key is split, remove its fragments; seat the one supplied, hold the new cap flat above it and press the middle — a click tells you it is held.
× (Num) key — questions
- Where is the * key on the numeric keypad and what does it do?
- On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the * key on the numeric keypad sits at the top of the keypad, between / and −, above the 9. It types an asterisk, the multiplication sign, in a calculator or a spreadsheet. Unlike the keypad digits, it does not depend on Num Lock.
- Does this × (Num) 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 MX Keys Mini has no numeric keypad.
- Is the hinge included with the × (Num) key?
- Yes, the X-shaped hinge comes with the × (Num) key — it is often the part that broke. Only the rubber dome is not supplied: it stays in place on the keyboard under the × (Num) key, and domes are sold in packs among our spare parts.
- I changed the cap on the × (Num) key, but it still types nothing — what now?
- If the × (Num) key was unresponsive rather than physically broken, the fault usually lies in its scissor hinge, included here, or in the rubber dome underneath, sold separately. Replace the hinge first, then the dome if the × (Num) key still feels mushy.
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.
