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 F12 key and what does it do?
On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the F12 key sits on the top row, between F11 and Volume +. By default it triggers the function drawn on the key; held with Fn, it sends F12, which opens the browser developer tools. Fn + Esc swaps that behaviour for the whole row.
About the F12 replacement key
The F12 key from the top row of the Logitech MX Keys, supplied with its hinge, to replace a key that cracked, was torn off or got lost. The F12 key is a genuine Logitech part, pre-owned, taken from a dismantled keyboard; the rubber dome is not supplied, as the one on your keyboard stays in place.
Compatibility
This F12 keycap fits the full-size MX Keys (MX Keys, MX Keys S and MX Keys for Mac), not the MX Keys Mini, whose top-row caps are shorter. The legend is that of the QWERTY (ES) layout. On the MX Keys S, the top-row keys carry different icons, so this key will not match them exactly.
The F12 key: position, size and wear
Like every F key on the MX Keys, it is printed twice: an icon for its built-in function and “F12” in the corner, reached with Fn. The top row has no metal wires either: the cap is held by its X-shaped hinge alone, so a sideways knock while cleaning, or from something resting on the keys, is enough to unhook the F12 key.
How to install it
Allow under a minute to refit the F12 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, try it alone and then with Fn held: one press triggers the drawn function, the other F12.
F12 key — questions
- Where is the F12 key and what does it do?
- On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the F12 key sits on the top row, between F11 and Volume +. By default it triggers the function drawn on the key; held with Fn, it sends F12, which opens the browser developer tools. Fn + Esc swaps that behaviour for the whole row.
- Does this F12 keycap fit my Logitech MX Keys?
- Yes on a full-size MX Keys (MX Keys, MX Keys S and MX Keys for Mac); no on the MX Keys Mini, whose top-row caps are shorter.
- Is the hinge included with the F12 key?
- Yes: cap and hinge arrive together. The dome, the small rubber cup that makes the F12 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 F12 key triggers its icon instead of F12 (or the other way round) — is it broken?
- No, that is the Fn lock. Hold Fn to get the other function, or press Fn + Esc to swap the behaviour of the whole row. A broken key leans, catches or no longer goes down.
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.
