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 Tab key and what does it do?
On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the Tab key sits on the left edge of the keyboard, above Caps Lock. It inserts a tab in a text and moves to the next field of a form; Shift + Tab goes back to the previous field. In Windows, Alt + Tab switches between open windows.
About the Tab replacement key
A replacement Tab 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. The Tab 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 Tab keycap fits the full-size MX Keys (MX Keys, MX Keys S and MX Keys for Mac) in the QWERTZ (DE) layout. The MX Keys Mini has its own proportions for this key, so this cap is not meant for it.
The Tab key: position, size and wear
The Tab key is 1.5 units wide, a unit being the width of a letter key. It is struck by the left little finger with a sideways movement, seldom dead centre. 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 Tab key then leans towards it or catches.
How to install it
Fitting the Tab key takes no tools. Unclip the old cap from a corner, clear away the broken hinge, clip the new one in the same orientation, then press the middle and both ends in turn — a key this wide leans if one side is not engaged.
Tab key — questions
- Where is the Tab key and what does it do?
- On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the Tab key sits on the left edge of the keyboard, above Caps Lock. It inserts a tab in a text and moves to the next field of a form; Shift + Tab goes back to the previous field. In Windows, Alt + Tab switches between open windows.
- Does this Tab keycap fit my Logitech 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 Tab key has exactly this shape there. Not on the MX Keys Mini, where this key has other proportions.
- Is the hinge included with the Tab key?
- Yes: cap and hinge arrive together. The dome, the small rubber cup that makes the Tab 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 Tab key feels loose or uneven after fitting — what should I check?
- Take the Tab 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 Tab 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.
