Great keyboard!

Considering the price, the keyboard is not that bad, for what it is.

While the keyboard isn't the best, it suffices for playing simple basslines and melodies to compliment what you're doing on the pads, so as long as you don't think of it as a standalone keyboard, it's fairly useful

its a great midi keyboard for its size, perfect for producing withought a big ass keyboard.

Nice mini keyboard

really fun little keyboard.

This is my first keyboard and I love it, it comes with easy to use programs to start making your own music easy.

The keyboard was nice, but there wasn't any software, therefore it wouldn't work.

The keyboard itself is cool but the serial key that came with it is supposedly invalid, also akai are difficult to deal with and do not respond to emails, even when issuing a new password for your akai account, keyboard great, akai bad

The keyboards are abit hard to press and the outlet of the sound is abit slow too; but overall it’s fine.

The keyboard is simply amazing, the only reason it lost a star is because akai software is not stable

This keyboard disappoints considerably for these uses, and I find I have to use Logic Pro's Velocity MIDI FX to tone down the dynamics

To that end, this keyboard is great

Overall i would say its the best midi keyboard in this price range.

I am still giving this 3 stars because the keyboard itself is great and I enjoyed using it with my one allotted track

Although an attractive keyboard with a tiny footprint for the ultimate in portability, the AKAI Mini MKII has let me down in multiple ways

The keyboard worked fine

Great portable keyboard.

This is a decent mini keyboard/controller unit, but here’s the thing

I do actually like this keyboard a lot, but the velocity issue and the weak software are a negative.)

it is very versatile and has the power of the more expensive keyboards for a fraction of the price.

Nice keyboard and design

Keyboard was the primary issue

After extensive reviews, I found this to be the best midi-keyboard.

The keyboard itself is awesome and feels very well made

The keyboard has stopped working after not even a year of owning it.

I love this small keyboard; it is not perfect and for sure will make you yell in frustration when trying to configure it, but for what it does, it is perfect

The keyboard is awesome, but the editor software has not been updated to run on 10.10.x Yosemite

Anyway, I tried this other compact keyboard out as an alternative with 25 full size keys and it is amazing.

I'm giving this 3 stars because the keyboard itself is fine, once you can get on the website and download everything that's needed to run it.

The Keyboard is everything I need, except the sustain pedal input doesn't work

A great, reasonably priced midi keyboard.

Very good keyboard, the keys feel pretty great and the pads do too

But it bothered me that I wanted a cool Midi Controller, and because of that, I only have a little stupid keyboard.

Love the keyboard but cant get sound out of

The software that comes with this sucks but the keyboard is nice.

Extremely compact keyboard, unfortunately too cramped for serious composition/ chords etc

Probably the best midi keyboard in this price range

If these limitations do not bother you, this is a decent tiny laptop keyboard and the velocity sensitive pads are very nice.

This is an awesome midi keyboard.

I definitely recommend for anyone new or anyone needing a reliable keyboard to make beats

If this was not cheap looking, plastic keyboard, with awfully small keys (for children?) with bad springs, one may think that you need to be 'professional' musician or something...

I think this is a good keyboard to start out with as a beginner and even a good keyboard to have floating around if you are a pro

Great keyboard, perfect size for an easy to carry midi.

Love this keyboard already and I just bought it two weeks ago

Grandson loves this keyboard.

I was looking around amazon for a linux compatible midi keyboard and couldn't find anything specifically stated for that purpose, this one looked awesome and said that no drivers or software was required, just plug and

Good keyboard but the included program Hybrid is chocked full of problems and so are all of the included software because they use iLok's anti piracy system; which is understandable but not reliable.

It also has polyphonic aftertouch.https://www.amazon.com/Xkey-25-Key-Portable-Musical-Keyboard/dp/B00DU2VKV8[...]

It is like getting another synth keyboard

Beautiful keyboard, keys respond on time

Great keyboard awesome for beginners in music production

I love this midi keyboard, I need to utilize it more though ahaha

I knew it was too good to be true to see a well built midi keyboard with pads for one hundred bucks.

, I got better results in Cubase Elements but still may take some practice, not a fast as either a keyboard Arp or built in VST one

The keyboard itself feels very cheap and light.

but I disagree as per one

I use this for a few midi type digital drums and beats, as well as for piano parts when recording

Works exactly as you would expect

The keys dont feel as good as on a full size keyboard but still very good for the price, good for travelling

The keyboard keys feel a bit springy but the drum pads are awesome!I will need some time to figure out how to program it but out of the box it works fine with Garage Band as well as with it's own suite of software
