minimalistic

Solid feel to it, small and easy to travels with it an the vast majority of backpacks I used and no bells and whistle, juts plain simple keys/modwheel/pitch bend.

The rubbers on the side make it feel safe to travel and the way the usb cable is integrated is a nice bonus

dont let the stars deceive you

Obviously it's not a perfect device for at home. But this is probably the best keys you can get as of right now for traveling around. It's no microkey in terms of size so it's not the smallest. but it fits in a backpack and does what it's supposed to do. It's very sturdy and the cable mounting on the side of the device is amazing. Definitely recommend this for any travelers.

Excellent small USB MIDI keyboard

Excellent keyboard. I've had a few other keyboards of this size and price range and this one the by far the one that feels better under the fingers. It is also compact and lightweight. It comes with a USB cable that wraps around the keyboard itself. Perfect for traveling.
