But it's hard plastic, and it makes a really loud click against the edge of the joystick circle - even without force - when pushing it to one edge or another for pitch bends and modulation

Flimsily keys, feels like cheap plastic but overal it performs well but still Would be nice if the keys felt a bit more secure

Flimsy plastic

Akai uses a very smooth plastic on the keys, looks boney.

Akai chose the perfect plastic, making it sturdy, yet liable to take the punishment of travelling in a bag

Made of hard plastic I think, but seems durable

The keys are not supported in any way, with 1mm thick plastic holding each key to the controller

Besides, it's a hefty plastic, not a cheap children's toy type of plastic, so it's not that bad

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

Works exactly as you would expect

but i like it, easy to set up, even though it will take some time learning, it works like a charm when you get it all set up to your liking!

Worked well until the C, D and A keys on the lower octave all stopped working across all platforms
