Reviews around size (5.00 of 5)

  • The actual size of the controls is nice too: small enough to have a lot of them, but still chunky enough to make it easy to tweak parameters without looking down
  • There's a good weight to it, and the size is nice and portable

Reviews around device (4.68 of 5)

  • I can understand where someone that does play keyboards, or started out on piano would not like the device
  • Aside from the software part, from what I tried so far it seems like a very useful device & easy to get the hang of quickly
  • You can't really play it as the keys are pretty unresponsive but it is a very good note input device for music software.
  • Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase and recommend this device for serious musicians as well as those who just like to dabble.
  • The Korg Nano key is a great device for composing or tweaking on the road

Reviews around unit (4.13 of 5)

  • I couldn't believe how easy this unit was to set up and use
  • I bought the nanoKEY2 as a portable unit for when I am out of the studio
  • This unit works well with Ardour and JACK under Ubuntu Studio Linux.
  • This unit looks very fragile, but I have had no problems at all with it, and it has been knocked off my desk more than once by my 5 year old
  • When I bought it I could have bought more expensive units and I am glad I did not

Reviews around controller (4.04 of 5)

  • Don’t waste your money on defective controller not working, no power at all and very old model from 2011, there are lot of brand like akai mpd and akai mpc much better and 2016 2017 and there is NATIVE
  • This is a very well made controller and a great adjunct to other devices, like the Korg nanokey2, which don't have any controls other than the basics
  • The negative comments of certain users, I can understand that the controller is stiff, however it can be too sensitive too
  • Plastic ain't a bad thing.-This controller could more or less likely be dropped repeatedly and it might only crack the case
  • and i would totally buy another one, that is how great this daw controller is

Reviews around price (3.95 of 5)

  • They're all from KORG, so it's a bargain to get these quality controllers at such a great price
  • Great price, savage look, great feel,lightweights/thin, and great drum machine
  • Use it often when I want to create tracks for my music, great price, arrived fast, very portable..just perfect!
  • If you need a higher performing product, then you're in the wrong price bracket!Now for a simple mod that you can do to increase the sensitivity on the Nano2:1) Open up the unit (unplugged) with a small screwrdriver2) lift away the pc board and contact sheet3) place a few pieces of scotch tape on the bottom of each rubber pad.
  • My husband says it's excellent for such a cheap prices, and it has all you need

Reviews around pad (3.94 of 5)

  • The pads are not as sensitive as I thought they should be
  • Included an oscilator, the pads are very sensitive...comfortable !
  • you have to strike the pads very hard to get them to trigger
  • The buttons themselves are hard plastic and not soft pads as I expected, and they just feel clunky
  • However if you want an xy pad and don't have any velocity sensitive pads either, this is a good controller

Reviews around keyboard (3.86 of 5)

  • This is a great little keyboard, but it's smaller than I thought it would be, and the keys are plastic and kind of mushy.
  • The buttons are plastic-y with not as much weighted-ness as someone who plays piano or even a cheap keyboard may be used to, but they are velocity sensitive, so once you do get the hang of it, it works like a charm
  • Love this little keyboard and the software it comes with are excellent!
  • Great little keyboard controller, works great with garage band or pro tools.
  • The keys don't have amazing action (they're kind of like plasticky tappy keyboard keys but bigger) but it did way better with tapping drum parts than I ever thought it would

Reviews around quality (3.80 of 5)

  • Can't Beat the price and top quality when money is tight
  • It's small and light, with decent build quality, and ultimately works as expected
  • Another difference is the pads used in the white and black versions - the black ones feel softer and less sticky, while the white ones slightly more sticky and platic-y, for lack of a better word...
  • I really like this product - very good quality as if I bought it at the store
  • A useful keyboard , but the quality isn't quite that good

Reviews around thing (3.78 of 5)

  • I tried multiple things, but getting FL to detect it is easy, but it doesn't actually work
  • I had a hell of a time figuring out how to get this thing to work right with Ableton.
  • The only issue now is that the slider for channel 1, if I turn it all the way down, it turns off all the lights on my launchpad, which is obviously a bad thing
  • For the price, for the size, for the capabilities... this thing is hard to beat
  • For the price it’s incredibly powerful, but obviously it’s not the most powerful thing that you can get

Reviews around feel (3.75 of 5)

  • Most of them make an attempt at reproducing the feel of expensive equipment, even the feel of a real acoustic piano(you know, the kind with strings!), but they often fall short
  • Nice feel of the rubber buttons (satisfying press) on the left and cool LED coloring of
  • Great price, savage look, great feel,lightweights/thin, and great drum machine
  • Let me put it this way: you will either love this new feel or hate it

Reviews around midi (3.55 of 5)

  • Usually, even with other decent midi controllers (I have the Roland AX-09
  • Fortunately, there is plenty of CHEAP MIDI software floating around the
  • However, for those of us that are using basic laptops--the Nanokey is an ideal MIDI controller
  • Sure there's definitely better midi controllers out there and plenty of them but not for this price
  • Great for programming beats as well as a general MIDI controller for whatever instrument you want

Reviews around key (2.16 of 5)

  • I like that this keyboard is small and relatively inexpensive, but the keys are not that sensitive right out of the box
  • I got this as a temporary keyboard, though the keys are louder than expected, so plan to turn your volume up...
  • The keys are a little mushy and it makes clacky noises when I throw it in my backpack, but seems sturdy enough
  • Pros: Great for travelling, very lightweight, cheap and affordable, plug and play (no learning curb), has enough keys to get small projects going when you're on the goCons
  • - on a normal keyboard controller, when you press a key you get a feel for the keys near your fingers because of the sort of valley the depressed key creates

Reviews around plastic (1.95 of 5)

  • Other than the buttons, every thing else is made of very cheap plastic, and when moving the sliders and turning the knobs you get that plastic-grinding-plastic sound and feel
  • I've seen toys that were built better than this flimsy plastic garbage.
  • Cheap plastic, dim LEDs (only one color) and knobs that constantly fall off
  • Sturdy plastic, nicely packaged by Korg
  • This is a plastic feeling mixer, but everything works just fine

  • After wasting money on the near useless Arturia MiniLab, it was refreshing to see a piece of inexpensive (not cheap) hardware work without any issues
  • Terrible terrible waste of $150 for the set.
  • Terrible terrible waste of $150 for the set.
