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 F3 key and what does it do?
On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the F3 key sits on the top row, between F2 and F4. By default it triggers the function drawn on the key; held with Fn, it sends F3, which opens search in many programs. Fn + Esc swaps that behaviour for the whole row.
About the F3 replacement key
The F3 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. No copy here: the F3 key comes, pre-owned, from a dismantled keyboard, and arrives without the rubber dome, which stays on yours.
Compatibility
This F3 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 QWERTZ (DE) layout. On the MX Keys S, the top-row keys carry different icons, so this key will not match them exactly.
The F3 key: position, size and wear
It carries two markings: a drawn icon in the middle and “F3” in a corner — the two functions Fn switches between. Pressed less often than a letter, the F3 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
No tools needed. Lift what is left of the old F3 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, try it alone and then with Fn held: one press triggers the drawn function, the other F3.
F3 key — questions
- Where is the F3 key and what does it do?
- On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the F3 key sits on the top row, between F2 and F4. By default it triggers the function drawn on the key; held with Fn, it sends F3, which opens search in many programs. Fn + Esc swaps that behaviour for the whole row.
- Is the F3 key compatible with my MX Keys keyboard?
- 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 F3 key?
- Yes. The F3 key ships with its scissor hinge, so it also fixes a key that lost its clip. The rubber dome under the F3 key is not included: yours stays on the keyboard, and a spare can be ordered separately if it is damaged.
- My F3 key triggers its icon instead of F3 (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.
