    Akai Professional LPD8 | Ultra-Portable USB Drum Pad MIDI Controller for Laptops (8 Pads / 8 Knobs)

    • The pads themselves are as solid as devices several times more expensive.
    • This device works well, but there are no instructions to help you program the pads and the software that comes with it is not intuitive
    • For someone just getting into music production, I must applaud Akai for making such a user-friendly midi device
    • after just sitting around for a while i used it and tried to plug my usb in and the usb literally broke off, whole device is unusable now
    • Great device.
    • CONS:*-USB port soldering points broke leaving the device without a place to a computer, creating a problem actually using the device ever again...(without cracking the thing open and fixing it
    • For something you can throw into a laptop back for that studio on the go, this is a sweet little device.
    • The pads themselves are as solid as devices several times more expensive.
    • Overall, this is an amazingly handy and fun device to get someone introduced to DJing or even just music creation and modification.
    • as a device is pretty good but for me the only problem is that the pads are not that "soft" so you have to hit em pretty hard
