It supports Pro Mode for authentic keyboard play and doubles as a MIDI controller for music production, making it perfect for both gamers and aspiring musicians. ## Description As a new innovation to rhythm gaming, the Rock Band 3 Wireless Keyboard ups the realism of the Rock Band franchise. Crafted after classic professional Keyboard designs, its versatile layout capable of use on a tabletop or strapped over the shoulder like an electric guitar incorporates an ergonomic sensibility that provides comfort to the casual gamer or seasoned musician. The Rock Band 3 Wireless Keyboard Is fully compatible with both standard and Rock Band Pro modes.Empowering you to rock outside the realm of videogames, the Wireless Keyboard also functions as a MIDI controller and boasts a two-octave, non-weighted, velocity-sensitive keybed ranging from C3 to C5. The MIDI output connector provides compatibility with MIDI software sequencers and hardware devices, while standard console-specific gaming controller buttons deliver seamless console integration. Review: Solid peripheral - I bought this separately from Rock Band 3 because I wasn't sure if I wanted yet another plastic instrument. The pro mode intrigued me enough to pick it up later. About the controller: It's built pretty solid. I think MadCatz have redeemed themselves with the Rock Band controllers from the days of their crappy gamepads. The keyboard has a two octave range, standard Xbox 360 buttons on top, a big button on the 'neck' for Overdrive, and a little pad that you touch to do effects for long chords which is pretty cool. It also has MIDI out if you are so inclined to use it as a real instrument. There's also a strap if you want to use it as a keytar, but I prefer it on a table or on my lap. The keys respond well and have an OK weight. I would prefer them a little heavier as I am used to that more from piano and sometimes sliding my fingers to feel for the next key I would accidentally hit another key. There are also a couple raised notches on the side of a couple of keys to help guide you on your finger positioning, but I haven't gotten used to using them at all. Overall it works as it should and doesn't feel cheap. About the gameplay: Having played Rock Band since 1 and Guitar Hero before that, regular keys mode is a breeze. None of it pose a real challenge on expert except a few fast paced songs with a lot of chords (hand gets tired :(). Pro keys is where it's at and it's really hard. I play a little piano and still find it difficult reading the falling keys on screen and judging where I am on the keyboard. I find a lot of the times I just get lost on where my hand is. It takes some practice and for expert mode you basically have to learn the song, which isn't a bad thing. The keys you play are the actual keys used in the real song, albeit only the right hand in most cases. One gripe is the game doesn't seem to have a freeplay mode for keys like it does for drums. Would have been a nice option to just mess around with if people don't have a piano or other keyboard at home. Only about 60 something songs out of the 80 something have keys support in Rock Band 3. And none of the DLC and imported tracks prior will have keys support. If you already have a keyboard with MIDI out you can get an adapter to use in Rock Band 3 instead of this, though depending on how much trouble it would be to set it up and tear it down, this keytar may be more convenient. I recommend getting this if you are looking for a new challenge in Rock Band and interested in learning some basic keys. However if you are someone that plays on Easy/Normal and very casually, the standard guitar will work with standard keys mode and you don't need to get this. Review: Solid - I am impressed with the new Mad Catz Wireless Keyboard. It feels more like a real instrument than any other Rock Band controller made. Well, besides the real guitar, but I won't get into that. For around $80, this controller is about the same price as the drums or five button guitar, but it's construction feels more solid, and the keys are full sized (although the board is not a full sized keyboard). When you play this, you aren't just playing a toy. This is a real instrument, and learning to play Pro Keys in Rock Band 3 helps you to learn real world music skills for a real keyboard. The only thing it won't teach you is how to play from sheet music, but that isn't a concern. The keys themselves aren't weighted, but have a solid feel and don't spring back like a child's toy. The console around the keys feels strong, and I don't feel like I have to be overly gentle so I won't break it. Overall, it works well, it's fun to play, and it isn't cheaply constructed. If you have RB3 and are wondering if you should buy the keys, the answer is yes. ## Features - All-new Keyboard instrument for Rock Band 3 - Plays Rock Band 3 Keyboard, Guitar* and Bass* parts / Two-octave design with 25 velocity-sensitive keys (*Does not support Guitar/Bass Pro Mode) - Play real Keyboard parts in the new Rock Band Pro Mode / Versatile layout: Play like a Guitar or on a tabletop - Use as MIDI Keyboard Controller when not playing Rock Band (compatible with most MIDI sequencers) - 3 AA Batteries and Keyboard Strap included / Use as MIDI Keyboard Controller when not playing Rock Band (compatible with most MIDI sequencers) ## Images ![Rock Band 3 Wireless Keyboard for Xbox 360 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/517OakcammL.jpg) ![Rock Band 3 Wireless Keyboard for Xbox 360 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31u3DaMQs8L.jpg) ![Rock Band 3 Wireless Keyboard for Xbox 360 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/215fwIiZ7zL.jpg) ![Rock Band 3 Wireless Keyboard for Xbox 360 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51jOYfsEyfL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you use it wiht Xbox X and can you use it on Rockband 4?** A: Rockband 4 did away with keyboard. Im not positive if you can use on RB 3 on the Xbox one. I believe if you can it would require the adapter for legacy instruments though. **Q: Is this kid friendly?** A: Depends on age of "kid". if the child is musically adept, the basic 5 keys used to follow the notes on the screen can be great learning experience. A really small child will likely just push all the keys to make noise and not exactly enjoy what the instrument was really created for. **Q: Is the separate pro adapter required to play pro keys? Or will pro keys be available automatically.** A: Pro keys are available automatically at least in Rock Band 3, I haven't played past that one. **Q: Would this work with Lego rock band?** A: Probably not. As far as I know the keyboard only works with Rock Band 3. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid peripheral *by V***N on December 2, 2010* I bought this separately from Rock Band 3 because I wasn't sure if I wanted yet another plastic instrument.

I mainly drum on expert but my sister is involved with keyboard. We bought their keyboard to test on rockband 3. It works awesome, the keys are nice to play and color labelled well. the whammy is on the handle , its a touch pad so running your fingers across will whammy the note. The overdrive button is next to the touch pad as well. On regular mode on rb3 you play 5 keys, which are labeled by colored dots, using your right hand only. On pro, you use all keys and are labeled by the color panels. On the game the notes on pro are fairly clear to read, the track is lit by the colors according to where you should be playing. It shows 10 keys at a time, and at times will show blue arrows pointing in what direction the track will jump. It can be hard to readjust your hands to match the color change up, but after a while its a little easier. I believe (not certain)they only make you play the right hand notes, but you can use both hands anyway, I do. Overall its a lot of fun and you won't get bored quickly, with Phish's Llama, Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and Yes's Roundabout it'll take a while to master those. P.S. The rockband network hosts a lot of Queen with keyboard support. They also have quite a bit from Yes and some more Phish as well. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rock Band 3 Wireless Keyboard for Xbox 360 - Rock Band 3 - Keyboard Stand for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/438651-rock-band-3-wireless-keyboard-for-xbox-360](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/438651-rock-band-3-wireless-keyboard-for-xbox-360) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
