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 F5 key and what does it do?
On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the F5 key sits on the top row, between F4 and F6. By default it triggers the function drawn on the key; held with Fn, it sends F5, which refreshes a web page. Fn + Esc swaps that behaviour for the whole row.
About the F5 replacement key
Has your MX Keys lost its F5 key? This is the part on its own, hinge included, so the top row is complete again without a new keyboard. A genuine salvaged part: the F5 key is taken, pre-owned, from a dismantled keyboard and shipped without a dome.
Compatibility
This F5 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 F5 key: position, size and wear
It carries two markings: a drawn icon in the middle and “F5” in a corner — the two functions Fn switches between. Pressed less often than a letter, the F5 key wears more slowly, but its scissor hinge is just as thin: a fingernail, a cloth or an object resting on the keyboard that catches it sideways can tear a clip off.
How to install it
Fitting takes no tools. If the old hinge under the F5 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. To test it, try it alone and then with Fn held: one press triggers the drawn function, the other F5.
F5 key — questions
- Where is the F5 key and what does it do?
- On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the F5 key sits on the top row, between F4 and F6. By default it triggers the function drawn on the key; held with Fn, it sends F5, which refreshes a web page. Fn + Esc swaps that behaviour for the whole row.
- Will the F5 key fit my 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 F5 key?
- Yes. The F5 key ships with its scissor hinge, so it also fixes a key that lost its clip. The rubber dome under the F5 key is not included: yours stays on the keyboard, and a spare can be ordered separately if it is damaged.
- My F5 key triggers its icon instead of F5 (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.
