Exquisitely expressive and very pleasant to play. Easy to get used to for keyboard player. I felt familiar with it and could play it right away - which I can't say about ROLI Seabord. Compact size - significantly shorter than standard 4 octave keyboards. The keys does not feel too narrow though. I prefer playing K-Board Pro over mini-key keyboards. Works well both with MPE software and non-MPE hardware synths (via expander). The editor software is easy to use.

However, there are a few shortcomings:

- The editor software doesn't work at the same time with DAW software. Therefore, You can't instantenously hear the results of parameter change.

- Only four sliders. Having at least six would be nice.

- Lack of ability to smoothly slide between the notes

- software updates abandonded since 05.19 and there's still a lot to improve. I substract a point for lack of updates.
