Launchkey 49 MK3 : Great Keyboard with excellent DAW compatibiltiy

This keyboard is excellent value for the amount of functionality it has, as well as some of the free plugin it includes. It has made the process of learning Ableton a lot more streamlined while the only drawbacks in my opinion are that only some of the buttons do not light up making it it difficult to use to its full potential in a dimly lit area. The keys are a little bit on the thin side and require quite a bit of force to get a good volume from (there is probably a setting for this but I am yet to discover such feature). As an entry level keyboard it is simply fantastic, serving as the ultimate tool to get playing live (unless you are performing in a really dark room hehe). while I recommend the 66key version, this keyboard is a fantastic option on a budget and for that I would give it a solid 8/10
