Review: Quality at a bargain price. - The keyboard itself is the same length and thickness as my wrist rest. Small but very functional. The quality is great with no spongey keys, they're very comfortable to use and touch sensitive. They are small but I can play. There is a lot of functionality hidden beneath the exterior and the midi functions are top notch. Shame it's not a usb c interface but it's from a time before that. True plug and play as well. You get a fantastic software bundle to boot, with various soft synths and Ableton 12 lite. Bit fiddly installing the software tho. Ultimately it's a fantastic portable product and well worth every penny if you're after this kind of controller.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good for it's price.
*by Q***E on 5 August 2021*

This is quite good for the price you are paying for it, it functions like a regular keyboard (which I would hope for considering that's what it's meant to be), and it is quite easy to use with only 1 USB wire being required for full usage. It is very slim which helps with portability when making music on the move, and it fits nicely with my pc setup. Talking about setups, it is really easy to set up, because of the one wire system I mentioned before. It also has a modulation controller for if you want to effect the sound played in certain ways easily. The only concern I have is that the keys feel a bit cheap. Not a bad type of cheap but you can tell it is a bit cheap. All in all, a very good product. Will be buying again in the future.
