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 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.

Good product

I like it with such an affordable price. However I think the keys make noise and it is difficult for me to record with voice as well. The button are not friendly, they are rigid. But it is a good product.

Makes you want to play

Great value for the money jeyboards to play live your VSTs and drums

The best for that price

It's definetely not perfect but it does what we ask for him.

It's smaller than you'd think

I was seriously surprised when I opened the box and found this keyboard is smaller than I expected. Yes, it has full sized keys, yes, it's 49 keys. Soft touch, nice response but you can tell it's a cheap keyboard.

Pros:

- small

- massive alu-cover

- regular MIDI output (yes, it's a pro nowadays...)

- stable operation

- soft touch and response

- price

Cons:

- it's basically always ON when plugged into a computer USB port

- build quality feels good and bad at the same time

Would buy it again? Yes. This keyboard is perfectly enough for regular music stuff and to control sound modules too.

EasyKey

It is what the name says. Afordable and easy to play. Wach out: being cheep maby all keys do not respond the same when you put same amount of energy on them. When scoring in real time being soft keys it is easier to play sixteenth notes for non pianists, but for me the eight notes than don't track so good. So try it out i would say.

Good quality for this price range

Keys feel ok.

Quality knobs.
