I was in a middle of a project when the keyboard stopped working and now my project is sitting waiting for this to be fixed but believe it or not I've been trying to contact the manufacturer for two weeks now

It's a cool midi keyboard but just the installation they

The keyboard itself is awesome and feels very well made

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

This awesome keyboard responds really well to almost anything you hook it up to!

Very good value and nice small keyboard

I have retired my big junky Yamaha keyboard

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

Love the akai mpk mini2, this keyboard is the perfect size for portability

Great keyboard, the pads have great velocity/sensitivity as do the keys.

Anyway, in summary, fantastic little midi keyboard

Nice keyboard and design

If you are just looking for a somewhat cheap Midi keyboard and you're just starting out in making music, go with this product

This is one of the best portable midi keyboards

If you're a bedroom producer though, it's a nice little controller keyboard and you get set up with some good software as well.

Amazing keyboard

Beautiful keyboard, keys respond on time

Great keyboard for traveling and quick melodies.

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

I'm keeping the keyboard because my daughter loves

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

good keyboard!

This thing right here is a great midi keyboard for the size and price

This is the best MIDI keyboard mini you can get hands down

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

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

This keyboard is amazing for projects

This is an awesome midi keyboard.

Didn't really bother me so I just went on and use it, the keyboard lasted about a month or so

However if you want chords on a live performance, you need a longer (albeit heavier, bigger and less portable keyboard).

Great keyboard awesome for beginners in music production

I got this as my first keyboard to make music with and it worked perfectly and has so many options that i haven't even discovered yet

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

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

Great keyboard, includes a lot of free software and is easy to install.

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

This keyboard seems cool, but who would know because I spend two hours trying to install it.

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

Best cheap mini keyboard

It's a great keyboard but your IOS devices will say insufficient power

The keyboard is great for something small and portable

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

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

Very nice keyboard

From the person I gifted this to: "The keyboard is decent and responsive.

Very good keyboard!

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

This is an excellent little mini keyboard.

Overall though it's a decent little travel keyboard for the $100 I paid for it, though not perfect.

Keyboard is great, was never able to install the software because it wouldn't accept my serial number

A great MIDI keyboard

great keyboard!

Nice, compact keyboard.

I was looking for a decent keyboard to use with fl studio, and this seems to be just what i needed

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

I have also used it as a second keyboard while working with the 225.

A very good keyboard that performs great

I love this little keyboard!

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

It's a nice entree level midi keyboard.

Excellent MIDI keyboard.

This isn’t a bad MIDI keyboard

Best cheap mini keyboard

You get what you pay for, a cheap keyboard

Very nice keyboard

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.

really fun little keyboard.

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...

Keyboard was the primary issue

I love this small keyboard, It's very easy to use and fun to play with.

Great MIDI keyboard.

Frustrating and unfortunate .Buy a keyboard

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

Great starter MIDI keyboard at a more than affordable price

I love having this tiny keyboard when I need it

I love this keyboard

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

It is like getting another synth keyboard

The keyboard worked fine

and it feels more robust than the full size M-audio keyboard it's replaced.

I kinda did panic because neither the keyboard nor the pads were working while I opened FPC in fruity loops

The keyboard is very compact and comfortable to use

Overall, this is a great mini midi keyboard for its price, a valuable upgrade from the last model

this keyboard is terrible, the software is terrible, and its more expensive than a lot of MIDI controllers, the keys wont last you more than a year of producing music without snapping off and feel awful, its not that they arent weighted its like there are springs underneath constantly pushing the keys up its terrible

Also great starter keyboard

Great entry keyboard for bedroom producers and students!

, 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

Keys are very small so dont think this will be great as a keyboard

A great little keyboard for a great price!

Love this mini keyboard, I can plug in to my laptop and make music where ever.

Great Keyboard, had to adjust the sensitivity but great overall

This is a cool little keyboard

the mini keyboard is great with more than enough functionality..it is a ton of fun once the setup is complete, but, dont be discouraged..it will more than likely be usable when you first plug it in..more complexed features will require you to install free downloadable software that comes with the machine

I recommend the same keyboard if you're working in a tiny simple scale

Probably the best midi keyboard in this price range

Great mini keyboard and reasonable price.

It really helps make this a portable keyboard

Grandson loves this keyboard.

To that end, this keyboard is great

Keyboard is fine, was easy to connect with Daw

For portability and learning and making music on the go, this is a very nice little keyboard.

Great keyboard, works perfectly.

Great keyboard, works perfectly.

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

Solid Midi keyboard for a steal ($79 during Black Friday).

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.

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

I use the keyboard with FL Studio 10 and it works perfectly.

This keyboard is too weak

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

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

The biggest thing to learn is the program itself but this keyboard is great for traveling

Awesome keyboard

So I ordered this a few days ago and when I received it all tho the keyboard itself is super nice

Great 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

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

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

Was really excited to get this but after trying to load software several times and getting an error trying to load the pluggin, the keyboard is worthless without.

What about the features?- Keys:Although a bit stiff, the keyboard is responsive and comfortable to play

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

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

Nice midi keyboard.

My son LOVES this midi keyboard!

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

I was a total beginner and thought this keyboard was perfect for me.

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 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

Highly recommend this keyboard!

This is a good keyboard

Convenient, user-friendly, and portable are three words that I would use to describe this amazing mini keyboard

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

Nice mini keyboard

An almost fantastic keyboard until about 3/4 of a year in my time using it a key suddenly snapped off and now another key feels like it is beginning to experience the same fate

A fun little keyboard for the not so needy in the keyboard department.

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

Generally, I just wanted a really well-rounded keyboard that I could do a huge variety of things with

Nice MIDI keyboard and assignable controls and pads

I love everything else about this, but what good is a keyboard with an unresponsive key

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

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

As a music producer, I need a portable keyboard that I can carry around easily

I’ve played around with it and the keyboard is entertaining but when customer service is condescending and false advertisement screws the customer, score goes down.

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

For the money, this is the way to go if you're looking for a nice mini USB keyboard.

(it looks so sick) but its probably the worst keyboard i have ever played.

Great portable keyboard.

Great keyboard for traveling.

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

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

Very neat little keyboard, but I buyer beware

Great little midi keyboard

A great, reasonably priced midi keyboard.

awesome compact keyboard for when on the go

Overall, a GREAT MIDI control keyboard

keyboard is great but software is too complicate to install

I'd say this is the perfect MIDI keyboard for a beginner or someone who just wants a compact MIDI keyboard that can sit on their desk, without needing to make a separate space for a huge keyboard.

Great, sturdy keyboard for the price.

I've been on the search for a portable MIDI keyboard that I can easily setup and put away as needed and this fit the bill perfectly

The keyboard itself feels very cheap and light.

I use the MPK Mini MKII for producing hip-hop, rap, R&B, and funky music

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

Works as it should.

but I disagree as per one

We love it but having a problem finding a good DAW on Windows as we use GarageBand on my Mac Laptop.

Well i had a very hard starting point with the software included but after that midi is pretty cool and learning curve is slow for me as a

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

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

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

Works exactly as you would expect
