ControlKey 88 : Good quality/price ratio

I use this keyboard with Fruity Loops and many plug ins. At first glance it was heavy, lots and lots of binding knobs/buttons, learning and exploring. My previous keyboard had only keys and nothing else, it is groundbreaking update for me. Midi and power cable is not included but it is powered by usb port. I would not give this to your 10 year old daughter, unless she is super intelligent genius, but it is versatile tool that need some time to set it up to your needs.

+ Bargain price.

+ Keys feel okay to acoustic piano player, I was expecting a lot worse.

+ Pitch and modulation knob are excellent quality.

- Drumpads need some serious punching, light touch does not register. My cheap akai lpd8 does better job than this.

- All the other knobs/buttons are cheap plastic and they have ugly snap sound when pressed. E1-E8 knobs have specially awful feeling. This product would be better without those knobs...

- Quality is not constant. My B key feels embarrassingly different than others. Not much, but it is there.

If you are planning to get this, don't worry, my review sounds worse than it is. This might be your best shot for budget home studio.
