Great for the price

It's a 100€ usb keyboard, you can't expect it to be amazing but it's very good for the price. I use it all the time. Decent build quality and it's quite heavy.

No fanciness : only usefulness

This keyboard is not pretty.

It doesn't feature anything shiny.

No aftertouch neither touch-sensitive pad on this bad boy.

But it's sturdy, and I'll bet a coin it's built out of ex-USSR tanks (maybe from the same factories which provide Shure with metal for their mics). And despite my slight tendency to break everything I touch, no knobs were hurt or lost during the few months where we shared a room together.

It's a reliable, straight-to-the-point, no-fanciness-only-usefulness humble piece of hardware. Too bad I've forgotten it in a train because I was...

A budget 4 octave keyboard with a really nice action.

Bought this for my DAW/hardware synth module setup.

Delivery was prompt.

Overall, a really nice keyboard, with a pleasantly solid action and simple operation.

The only thing I would change was to have a few more assignable controls although, to be honest, this does not bother me much so far.

Other than that, works as intended and is a good value for money.

Perfect

So I bought this to go with my eurorack synth and it all fits pretty well, as far as the quality goes im very pleased with it! I think everyone should go for it!

Swissonic EasyKey 49 - I am a beginner and it works great for me!

Given I am a new-comer in the world of music and instruments I was looking for an entry-level device that could support my first steps and help me evolve.

Swissonic EasyKey has the following characteristics that I value:

-- Smooth (plug&play) integration with GarageBand in mac

-- Easy to use interface with all the required functionality for a beginner (not many confusing buttons but some required and operational ones))

-- Nice touch and responsive

-- solid construction

I would not be in a position to discuss "cons" as my comparison standards are not there yet. However what I do know is that I am happy with what I got and I have put it to immediate use effortlessly.

So if you are a beginner you will enjoy making your first musical steps with this device smoothly.

Solid finish. Great key feeling. The change of midi channel could be more quick.

Great keyboard!

This is amazing keyboard for a very low price. Would recommend for small studios and easy usage!

A bit heavier, which is ok, it is more stable, if you don't need to move it often. There is a little issue: sustain pedal doesn't work sometimes during recording into daw, so I have to repeat what i wan't to record, which is annoying. Everything else is fine.

Nice Quality

Very nice to touch. Metal casing which adds some quality and worked without issue straight away....always a bonus!
