There's a good weight to it, and the size is nice and portable
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
This unit works well with Ardour and JACK under Ubuntu Studio Linux.
It is a solid unit and the price was right, however, none of the pads have back lit LED's, So you really got to watch the screen to see whats triggered when you fire things off, Hopefully the Korg Nano pad III will have back lit LED's built into the pads
I absolutely love the little unit, its usable for pretty much any type of mixing you need.
When I bought it I could have bought more expensive units and I am glad I did not
I bought the nanoKEY2 as a portable unit for when I am out of the studio
So, to summarize, if you can't afford a more serious mix controller but you're sick and tired of using a mouse for everything, this is an acceptable option that will ease a lot of that burden
It is the cheapest controller I've seen so far, and I believe it's worth the buck you pay.
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
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
It is a flimsy keyboard, with keys that are structured oddly, feel worse than most laptop keys, are far to "clicky" and is just neither pleasant enough or responsive enough for my tastes
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
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.
Great little keyboard controller, works great with garage band or pro tools.
Love this little keyboard and the software it comes with are excellent!
Surprisingly nice feel for the raised button style keys
Let me put it this way: you will either love this new feel or hate it
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
I also like the feel of both the sixteen pads and X-Y pad very much
The overall feel is very much like a computer keyboard, so it doesn't have the long stroke of a typical music keyboard.
I got this as a temporary keyboard, though the keys are louder than expected, so plan to turn your volume up...
It frees up ton of space and is great for drumming as the keys are very responsive
I like that this keyboard is small and relatively inexpensive, but the keys are not that sensitive right out of the box
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
I've seen toys that were built better than this flimsy plastic garbage.
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
The buttons themselves are hard plastic and not soft pads as I expected, and they just feel clunky
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.

The nanoKEY2 features an advanced and up-to-date design
By combining the great-feeling “touch” that Korg has developed for its professional MIDI keyboards and the low-profile “thinness” of recent computer keyboard innovations, the nanoKEY2 provides a superior keyboard response for its class and size
It's designed with ample key width and plenty of space between the keys, reducing the chances of a wrong note
The touch and velocity response have been carefully tuned, as only a manufacturer with Korg's track record and know-how can, ensuring that your expressive performance will be conveyed accurately to your software
The Octave Shift buttons – borrowed from Korg's MIDI controllers – allow the overall pitch to be shifted four levels, either UP or DOWN, in octave increments
For enhanced performances, the nanoKEY2 also provides Pitch Bend buttons, a Modulation button, and a Sustain button – one that's indispensible for piano or electric piano performance
For each of these buttons, the on/off switching speed can be specified over four levels (using the Korg Kontrol Editor), ensuring the smooth changes that are appropriate for your performance
The nanoKEY2 works with the "Korg Kontrol Editor" software – available free on the Korg website
Load it into your computer, and use it to make detailed customized settings
Choose from a total of four velocity settings: three velocity curves or fixed velocity; specify the control change messages transmitted by the modulation button and the sustain button
Just connect a single USB cable from your computer to the nanoKEY2, and you've got a quick and portable music production system
Power and USB-MIDI data travels down the same wire for a clean, efficient workspace.
