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 Alt Gr key and what does it do?
On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the Alt Gr key sits on the bottom row, between the space bar and Fn. Held down, it types the third character printed on some keys, symbols or accented letters depending on the layout. On a Mac it becomes Command (⌘), hence its dual legend.
About the Alt Gr (R) replacement key
A replacement Alt Gr (R) key for the Logitech MX Keys, supplied with its hinge: a key used all day long, replaced on its own rather than with a new keyboard. A genuine salvaged part: the Alt Gr (R) key is taken, pre-owned, from a dismantled keyboard and shipped without a dome.
Compatibility
This Alt Gr (R) keycap fits the full-size MX Keys (MX Keys, MX Keys S and MX Keys for Mac) in the QWERTZ (DE) 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 Alt Gr (R) key: position, size and wear
The Alt Gr (R) key is 1.25 units wide, a unit being the width of a letter key. It is held by the right thumb for every third-level character, on the edge nearest the space bar. 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 Alt Gr (R) key then leans towards it or catches.
How to install it
Lift the old Alt Gr (R) cap by a corner, remove the damaged hinge and clip in the one supplied. Lay the Alt Gr (R) key flat, then press the centre and each end: on a key wider than a letter, one side left unseated makes it lean.
Alt Gr (R) key — questions
- Where is the Alt Gr key and what does it do?
- On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the Alt Gr key sits on the bottom row, between the space bar and Fn. Held down, it types the third character printed on some keys, symbols or accented letters depending on the layout. On a Mac it becomes Command (⌘), hence its dual legend.
- Will the Alt Gr (R) key fit my MX Keys?
- Yes, if it is a full-size MX Keys (MX Keys, MX Keys S and MX Keys for Mac) in the QWERTZ (DE) layout: the Alt Gr (R) 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 Alt Gr (R) key?
- Yes, the X-shaped hinge comes with the Alt Gr (R) key — it is often the part that broke. Only the rubber dome is not supplied: it stays in place on the keyboard under the Alt Gr (R) key, and domes are sold in packs among our spare parts.
- My Alt Gr (R) key feels loose or uneven after fitting — what should I check?
- Take the Alt Gr (R) 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 Alt Gr (R) 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.
