  • Xkey 25-Key Portable Musical KeyboardThis product is announced in Amazon as "Xtra Compatibility: USB MIDI compliant with iPad, Android, tablet / phone, Microsoft Surface Pro, Mac and PC", nevertheless there are not apps, nor technical support for android tablets, nor for smart phones (e.g. Iphone)
  • The actual product is incredible, but malfunctioning after six hours of serious use is really unacceptable
  • Great Service Fast Delivery Beautiful Product for laying down quick ideas

Reviews around controller (5.00 of 5)

  • Barely wider than a standard iPad, this is a perfect portable 2-octave controller that still manages to incorporate pitch bend and mod functions as well as sustain and octave up/down for the full range of notes
  • are compact MIDI trigger and mixer controllers without keys that would pair up nicely with this if you need the additional functions for Ableton Live or something like that
  • The sensitivity of the piano keys and the pressure sensitive controller buttons are very professional.
  • This is a great controller for sketching out ideas or just perusing the sound banks of your synth apps.
  • The CME Xkey is made very solid and is a beautiful controller it looks like it was made

Reviews around play (5.00 of 5)

  • Great if you need ultra portable, I mean like playing in the back seat of the car or any tight
  • 25:- Xkey 25 has a better feel and my playing is more accurate with the larger keys, despite the less
  • I was skeptical when I first saw this thing, but I really enjoy playing on it.
  • These are almost, if not are, full size keys that make producing a breeze as well as playing your heart out

Reviews around tool (5.00 of 5)

  • A very handy portable midi tool
  • It is an amazing tool, the rest of the keys worked great, it is exactly as on the picture, but... mine was damaged and had to sadly return it

Reviews around device (5.00 of 5)

  • I probably received a defective unit, and if I don't fall in love with another ultra-portable iOS device I may try it again.
  • it's a beautiful device
  • This is a class compliant MIDI device, and no multy-client driver is supplied, which means you cannot use the editor software while your DAW is using it (this is not really a big deal of course, but it'd be nice if it were multiclient)

Reviews around design (4.03 of 5)

  • it became my favorite, light, accurate, thin, nice design and portable, I didn't have to fix any latency and is a must for any producer working with portable equipment, It even looks like an extension of my MacBook Pro, Great Buy!
  • It's a bit of a shame, this poor design flaw
  • A thin rubber membrane inside could have been the easy and cheap design improvement

Reviews around flaw (1.95 of 5)

  • Was looking for a small MIDI keyboard to place in front of the monitor, as well as to throw in a laptop bag for travel.
  • It's a bit of a shame, this poor design flaw

Reviews around cable (1.95 of 5)

  • It functions just fine, but if you buy this keyboard, and you care about aesthetics, be prepared to rearrange your setup to hide this atrocious cable from sight.
  • decided to use a bright orange cable.
  • Or black?The ugly cable is a minor annoyance, but the performance issues are enough for me to consider returning this item to get something else for portable composition.
  • So get one to carry around for fun, and treat the little silly orange cable with care
