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

the nanokey 2 was such a great addition to my setup, that I believe I will be adding more products from korg to my list.

What a great musical addition to an already great keyboard.

it is a great addition to any Professional or Home Studio.

You can't really play it as the keys are pretty unresponsive but it is a very good note input device for music software.

The Korg Nano key is a great device for composing or tweaking on the road

This portable device from the Korg NanoPad series has decent pads, for the price

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

Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase and recommend this device for serious musicians as well as those who just like to dabble.

I couldn't believe how easy this unit was to set up and use

This unit works well with Ardour and JACK under Ubuntu Studio Linux.

I bought the nanoKEY2 as a portable unit for when I am out of the studio

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

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

and i would totally buy another one, that is how great this daw controller is

I'm seriously considering just returning and picking up a better midi controller for a little more

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

Great for programming beats as well as a general MIDI controller for whatever instrument you want

Plastic ain't a bad thing.-This controller could more or less likely be dropped repeatedly and it might only crack the case

Great price, savage look, great feel,lightweights/thin, and great drum machine

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.

Firstly this product has a great price and so for those of us on a budget it is excellent

Use it often when I want to create tracks for my music, great price, arrived fast, very portable..just perfect!

While I did not expect much with such a lowly price, I have to admit I expected a set of keys that at least were responsive to touch

Included an oscilator, the pads are very sensitive...comfortable !

This portable device from the Korg NanoPad series has decent pads, for the price

However if you want an xy pad and don't have any velocity sensitive pads either, this is a good controller

The pads are responsive up to a point, but they are not as good as the padKontrol

The buttons themselves are hard plastic and not soft pads as I expected, and they just feel clunky

I can understand where someone that does play keyboards, or started out on piano would not like the device

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

I.m PRETTY SURE that a Keyboardist will HATE this Keyboard

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

Great little keyboard controller, works great with garage band or pro tools.

It's small and light, with decent build quality, and ultimately works as expected

Can't Beat the price and top quality when money is tight

I think for the price Korg has made something with pretty good build quality

Poor quality and very hard to play compared to a keyboard.

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 tried multiple things, but getting FL to detect it is easy, but it doesn't actually work

For the price it’s incredibly powerful, but obviously it’s not the most powerful thing that you can get

For the price, for the size, for the capabilities... this thing is hard to beat

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

The overall feel is very much like a computer keyboard, so it doesn't have the long stroke of a typical music keyboard.

I also like the feel of both the sixteen pads and X-Y pad very much

Let me put it this way: you will either love this new feel or hate it

Let me put it this way: you will either love this new feel or hate it

The pan knobs feel really good and not cheap, the faders have a nice feel of resistance to them like mixing boards do

Fortunately, there is plenty of CHEAP MIDI software floating around the

Sure there's definitely better midi controllers out there and plenty of them but not for this price

I really wanted to control VSTIs in stand alone mode with it, but there are weird MIDI presets that are interfering

Long story short, with cheap midi interfaces go with Korg and not AKAI.

The Kontrol worked for all other functions (fader, pan pots and even midi learn on other soft synth instruments).

, keys are a little awkward when played (but what do you expect for its size and

The keys are sensitive to the touch and 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

I got this as a temporary keyboard, though the keys are louder than expected, so plan to turn your volume up...

The controller itself is a decent plastic, but the slider knobs just come right off

If you're able to take very good care of it, and don't mind that cheap plastic feeling, then it's worth getting.

Sturdy plastic, nicely packaged by Korg

I've seen toys that were built better than this flimsy plastic garbage.

This is a plastic feeling mixer, but everything works just fine

Terrible terrible waste of $150 for the set.

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
