Best buy ever

I travel a lot for work, and this was bought as an on the road companion. We’ve been across the Atlantic a couple of times, and made music virtually anywhere you can think of. Fits in my backpack, works on USB 5V. Awesome!!

Fine, nothing special but a handy portable tool.

Mod joystick lacks durability and feels like the cheapest of plastics but for the price and what it's designed for, it works just fine.

Just what I needed

Exactly what I, personally, needed.

If youre a proffessional keyboard/piano player, it might not be just your thing, but for me, after having a 64 midi controller that I barely touched, this little thing suits me just fine.

keys are soft, the sustain control is very handy, and due to its small size it sits perfect on my desk and obviously very mobile.

it doesnt make any sound by itself so that cant be judged, So all in all, I feel like its the right tool to make me a better keyboard player

Pretty good

The only things missing are another octave and a mod wheel.

Good portable MIDI Keyboard

The Korg MicroKEY25 USB MIDI keyboard is a good "portable" tool due to its small size. It is USB powered and equipped with a joystick for modulation/pitch bend, a key to activate the arpeggiator (which is tempo-synced), a key for sustain, and of course the keys for changing octaves.

The keys are semi-balanced ("Natural Touch") and give a good feeling.

Compatible with Windows, Mac OS X (as well as iPad), I tested it with FL Studio without any problems.

Recommended, especially considering the price.
