USB-C MIDI Keyboard Controller, 25 Key Portable Mini MIDI Keyboard with 8 Drum Pads, OLED Display, 16 Smart Scales, Arpeggio, Replay, 4 DAW Software and 40 Teaching Courses, DMK 25 Pro Black

As a beginner I was looking for something that would not break the bank. This was easy to set up with my computer and I was able to plug and play with GarageBand. Definitely a learning curve but a great choice for my experience level and would recommend.

5 star review based on value for money. It actually does a lot for the money. It does have a "toy" feel honestly... BUT... I Love It! Its very functional in my Tiny Home Studio. Velocity Sensitive, 8 total controllers... and and and. Not a fan of the Mod and Pitch sliders for my Every Day Choice on controls... but again... I have found some very cool and useful sounds using them that you cannot recreate on wheel based controls. Size is perfect for me since I have a compact mobile lifestyle. On a budget? Need a mini studio controller on the cheap? This is it! Based on its size and controls and pads alone, I would never get rid of it. Its the perfect little Bass line rig for a multi keyboard setup, or even a standalone with a laptop. I only have ONE complaint, and its honestly nit picky for the price, but, I do not like the tiny little, non industry standard, sustain pedal jack... but I am old and cranky. :) Enjoy!

Got it for my son for Christmas. Great gift

Nice little MIDI controller. Works very well with Reaper.

Great product. Goes good with with the software. I used Logic Pro X and it’s good for taking it on the road. Get music done when you’re on the go makes it easier

The poorest quality keys ever do not recommended , I’ve used only TWO times and suddenly the keys are broken ?! Wtf

Update: the keys are pretty low quality. I've been using this almost everyday for a year, and I'm up to the 3rd key that has broken off. Thankfully I was able to take it apart and use some super glue and some clear packing tape to reattach them. The keys are not hinged. It's just a molded plastic and just like a plastic airplane model you bend back and forth to separate the pieces these keys can only bend so many times before they break. 1st off I'm not pro. I needed a small midi controller to start experimenting with music production for a YouTube channel. It has been very useful for this project. It does come with some lite versions of the Steinberg companies DAW and a couple other plug ins however the installation process is the most obnoxious process I've ever encountered installing any software in my 47 years of existence. You have to use the Steinberg download manager and license manager and it is an archaic system. You can literally download everything they sell( DAW, plugins, sample packs etc. it's like a half a TB of stuff, but you can only use a tiny fraction of it without the proper software license. The problem is you don't know what's free and what's not, so you end up having a bunch of crap you have to weed through to uninstall. It's a nightmare. Steinberg do better! As far as the keyboard itself. It's compact has a lot of functionality, any button or dial is programmable to what ever function inside your DAW. I've used it with Devin I Resolves Fairlight, and the Cubase LE14. While all the keyboard keys and drum pads are velocity sensitive the sensitivity curve seems off. It's seems you get good action and volume from a hard strike, but a slow strike is too quiet. It's a good starter midi keyboard and the software makes it a decent value, but I'll be looking for one with better action on the keys.

loved this it is amazing beginner friendly
