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 5 key on the numeric keypad and what does it do?
On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the 5 key on the numeric keypad sits between the 4 and the 6, below the 8. With Num Lock on, it types 5; with Num Lock off, it does nothing in most programs. The line printed under the digit marks the centre of the keypad, for typing without looking.
About the 5 (Num) replacement key
The 5 (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. No copy here: the 5 (Num) key comes, pre-owned, from a dismantled keyboard, and arrives without the rubber dome, which stays on yours.
Compatibility
This 5 (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 QWERTZ (CH) layout.
The 5 (Num) key: position, size and wear
Only the full-size MX Keys has a numeric keypad; its keys take bursts of one-handed presses whenever figures are keyed in. Nothing steadies the 5 (Num) key apart from its scissor hinge: one-unit keys have no metal wire. A hinge split on one side makes it rock, and a torn clip lets it go at the first knock.
How to install it
No tools needed. Lift what is left of the old 5 (Num) key by one corner, straight up, clear away any pieces of hinge, clip the supplied hinge flat onto its anchor points, then set the new cap on top and press the centre until it clicks. To test it, turn Num Lock on first; otherwise the keypad moves the cursor instead of typing.
5 (Num) key — questions
- Where is the 5 key on the numeric keypad and what does it do?
- On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the 5 key on the numeric keypad sits between the 4 and the 6, below the 8. With Num Lock on, it types 5; with Num Lock off, it does nothing in most programs. The line printed under the digit marks the centre of the keypad, for typing without looking.
- Is the 5 (Num) key compatible with my MX Keys keyboard?
- Yes, if it is a full-size MX Keys (MX Keys, MX Keys S and MX Keys for Mac) in the QWERTZ (CH) layout. The MX Keys Mini has no numeric keypad.
- Is the hinge included with the 5 (Num) key?
- Yes, the X-shaped hinge comes with the 5 (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 5 (Num) key, and domes are sold in packs among our spare parts.
- My 5 (Num) key moves the cursor instead of typing — do I need a new one?
- Not necessarily: if the whole keypad does the same, Num Lock is off. Press it once; the MX Keys has no indicator light, but Logi Options+ can show its status on screen. If only this key fails, its hinge or dome is at fault.
