Amazing price

For the price you can't ask for much more.The velocity sensitivity is good, but the keys are not weighted. They are also small and feel cheap and plasticky. Despite the keys being scaled down the width is still larger than my laptop so not great for portability. It also did not come with a travel case.The pitch and mod buttons are just buttons with no sensitivity. The sustain button is a nice feature, no substitute for a pedal, but it does come in handy for some uses in a DAW.The edit mode seems complicated and I don't have enough brain cells to figure it out. If you're smart and wear glasses you could probably get it to do more useful stuff. The thing I use the most is the volume knob. I just wanted velocity sensitive keys to get more expression on the midi instruments on my tracks and I got it.Oh yeah the octave button. It works and has a light to show you what octave you're in.

Q**E

Really good for it's price.

This is quite good for the price you are paying for it, it functions like a regular keyboard (which I would hope for considering that's what it's meant to be), and it is quite easy to use with only 1 USB wire being required for full usage. It is very slim which helps with portability when making music on the move, and it fits nicely with my pc setup. Talking about setups, it is really easy to set up, because of the one wire system I mentioned before. It also has a modulation controller for if you want to effect the sound played in certain ways easily. The only concern I have is that the keys feel a bit cheap. Not a bad type of cheap but you can tell it is a bit cheap. All in all, a very good product. Will be buying again in the future.

Perfectly compact and Easy to setup

This is a fantastic item. So compact, so easy to use. I got up and running with it in minutes.Really helpful as a Midi controller when travelling or to support when in a compact band call.

Quality at a bargain price.

The keyboard itself is the same length and thickness as my wrist rest. Small but very functional. The quality is great with no spongey keys, they're very comfortable to use and touch sensitive. They are small but I can play. There is a lot of functionality hidden beneath the exterior and the midi functions are top notch. Shame it's not a usb c interface but it's from a time before that. True plug and play as well. You get a fantastic software bundle to boot, with various soft synths and Ableton 12 lite. Bit fiddly installing the software tho. Ultimately it's a fantastic portable product and well worth every penny if you're after this kind of controller.

Easy to use.

Super easy to use. Works flawlessly with Reaper. The included drum and piano software is really good too.

Great MIDI keyboard

This is really nicely made. It has full size keys which I would imagine is a bonus if you go on to play a real piano. 49 keys gives you 4 octaves (+1 key) and many YouTube piano tutorials use the same number of keys so it's easy to follow along. It has sufficient weight to sit firmly on a desk and it also comes with a USB cable, something which is not made clear from the description. I haven't downloaded the included software because I bought it to use with Cakewalk DAW, but it works a treat with that. Velocity sensitive keys work well. I will probably order the optional sustain pedal too once my playing improves a bit! A nice bit of kit for the money.
