Swissonic EasyKey 49 5-stars Reviews

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.

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!

Nice Quality

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

Thought it's just another low cost plastic-y midi keyboard, but when it's arrived the weight and the keyboards quality apparently more than it costs. Very happy, absolutely.

Never had any previous keyboard experience, bought this to learn how to play and extend my music knowledge beyond the guitar. Does the job more than enough. 10/10 recommended for starters or anyone looking to do synth work on their own.

An excellent midi keyboard

This keyboard is solid, a good weight and performs extremely well. No complaints, delighted with it!

Good value plug and play keyboard

Nice and easy to use - with Logic Pro X - open a software instrument, plug keyboard in and away you go.

Key travel feels odd, ie too much travel for pple used to touch screen/synth rather than piano, but expect to get used to this.

USB cable supplied is worse than useless. Far too short and poor quality plastic. Would be better to pay a few £€$ more for a decent lead to be included - or don't include lead and direct customers to buy seperate one.

Overall score 4.5/5, but five stars on review for price and value.

Just what I was looking for and great service too.

Cheap but very good for the price

I'd suggest this keyboard to anyone who is looking for a cheap usb keyboard, it's nothing special but it also doesn't feel cheap. The keys are quite nice and the construction feels very solid.

Great MIDI keyboard for the money

Very nice keyboard. Full sized keys, though the black keys are a tiny bit thinner than full-sized. Touch is nice. Very light, so great for synth playing. Mod and pitch wheels are very solid. Case is also very well built and solid. Octave transposing is quick and easy. And it has a nice music "stand", more of a slot, really, in which you can also insert an iPad. Nice touch. All in all, a lot of bang for the buck.

Basic no-frills keyboard

This is a good midi-keyboard with all the necessary needed functions. For this price, it's a no-brainer. I would recommend this to anyone, looking for the keys-only solution to studio for (example) rack synths or VST-synths control.

Best midi keyboard

If you are looking for a nice MIDI and USB keyboard with crisp keys and great touch feeling, build like a tank and extremely cheap this is the one.

pros: built like a tank from aluminium and quality plastic. MIDI + USB

cons: this is heavy

Excellent for the price

I am not a keyboard player, but I like having some fun with it: however, I tried a few keyboards over the years, and this has pleasantly impressed me (and a friend of mine who really plays keys).

Pros: excellent key response for the price range, ease of use

Cons: a bit too heavy; the program change is not immediate

I love it

Solid build quality, no nonsense, basic but very playable keyboard.

[1] This is a "semi weighted synth action" kbd, the plastic keys are weighted with metal. I much prefer playing this to my M-Audio knobby controller kbd. The mod wheels also feel good.

[2] good form factor (suits me) short depth front to back and not too tall. Can be pushed underneath my desk when not in use.

[3] Comes with a load of music software licences. I am hooked on the Waldorf PPG Wave synth & Attack percussion Synth VSTs

which I use in Cakewalk.

I should also mention that the keyboard just plugged and played, no fuss.

Wow!

This keyboard is excellent value for money. The keys aren't weighted (what do you expect at this price) but they're full size and satisfying to play. What really surprised me was that the unit is really really sturdy and quite heavy. The casing is aluminium rather than the plastic you'd expect. The presence of real MIDI and USB (with powered USB) makes this a no-brainer. Brilliant keyboard.

It's a steal for the price...

Over the years i have purchased most of the low price midi keyboards (nektar gx61, novation launchkey 61, maudio keystation, etc) and i can say that in this price range here is nothing competing with the Easykey series as far as the key-action is the main consideration. The keybed is simply more accurate and dynamic than all the competition in the price range. I also has a classic midi port, while most of the keyboards in the price range do not. The pitch bend and the modulation wheel have a good feel and are sturdy. The usb connection does not feel flimsy and looks more sturdy than the competition. Integration with windows 10 is plug and play. The whole keyboard is rather heavy but the build quality is the same with keyboards 2-3 times the price. So overall, i would say this is a very honest product. The Price/Performance ratio is unbeatable, if your main concern is the keyboard action and built quality.
