Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

The keyboard is heavy. You can fight her xD If you don't need velocity then just disable this feature in your DAW. The seller also makes contact and solves the problem, if any.

Pros
  • 1) price / quality ratio 2) works even on android 3) there is an instruction in 2022
Cons
  • there are none for this price

I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

With its pros: Compact, easily fits on the table and does not interfere. You can switch octaves if necessary. Ideal for driving parts into an arrangement. Reaper and Nuendo see her immediately. With its cons: Not for purely piano arrangements, more clave is needed here. But I don't need to.

Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

In general, I am writing this review to help those who spontaneously float modulation. I solved this problem, although not by the most traditional method :) Turning off the joystick does not help, the point is in the chip itself, which is on the main board. I just had to insolently tear out a certain number of legs from it. And the problem disappeared, but for me it was the most terrible problem. the pitch swam constantly and, moreover, went down. In general, who needs a photo of which tracks…

Pros
  • Price, ease of use. In general, not expensive and comfortable keyboard :)
Cons
  • Modulation and, as many have already described, black keys.

Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

I am satisfied with the MIDI keyboard, I chose it for its compactness and price. There were no special playing skills on the keys, so I'm learning roughly from scratch. The pressure is pleasant. The keys do not touch anything anywhere, all keys have a uniform stroke. And in general, the assembly is up to the mark. I test with different programs, there are no compatibility problems. And yes, earlier I thought that Axelmox were headphones.

Pros
  • A very convenient size, I don’t play music often, but I have fun once or twice a week, so the size matters, it’s convenient to store. I liked the joystick for controlling the tone, modulation! Power can be supplied via USB! The keys are nice, semi-weighted!
Cons
  • There are no specific comments.

The product is really good, I'm glad I purchased it.

The keyboard is like a keyboard, nothing fancy but no frills either. Bought back in 2022. Assembled with a bang, so far nothing has fallen off, the keys are in place, nothing is pulled up, the joystick does not float, it still lives and is used, almost like new, although it has gone through a lot. The dynamics are unusual, more sensitive or something, you have to tune / get used to. In general, I am very pleased, I can carry with me instead of a healthy synthesizer (although the lack of keys…

Pros
  • - There is a joystick and a slider - Enough software tinsel inside - Two pedal inputs - Midi output - Octave shift buttons, very convenient. - No drivers needed - plug and play
Cons
  • - Joystick is a little clumsy: the maximum value is reached before the maximum travel of the joystick - Fits like keys, nothing more

Not a bad product, but you can find a better one.

Despite everything, I used it for a long time, it came in handy in my work more than once, and it looks attractive for its price. Its pros: Low price. Cheaper than 4 octaves definitely does not happen in nature. I got the blue one - it looks nicer in real life than in the pictures. Gray is the opposite. The USB cable, despite the fact that it hangs on snot, does not fall out, even though you jump with it. Also, the keyboard can be programmed, but inconvenient. Its cons: The main drawback is the

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

I bought it as a gift for a child, the gift went very well, there was no limit to joy. The device was bought on the advice of a person who teaches writing music on a computer in specialized programs, and the child studies with him. Although, as was said, the keyboard can be used for more serious things. So I think for the money a good purchase!

Quite good, but I expected more from it.

If you need a midi keyboard and very inexpensive, then the model is good. but adjusted for the work of the black keys about which I wrote above. It is quite possible that in the new batches this shortcoming will be corrected. Judging by the first review, there is no such problem. Different pros: 1) In my opinion, the lowest price for a 4 octave midi keyboard - I agree with the first review. 2) Sufficiently high-quality plastic and assembly 3) Unlike cheap M-Audio keyboards of several models…

Best thing I have ever used, highly recommended!

Different pros: Compact keyboard, but with full keys. Convenient joystick Easily syncs with Mac Looks and feels more value for money With its cons: Quite weighty, but it can also be a plus - it confidently rests on the table and counter.

Perfect product for any user!

All liked it. according to personal feelings, it seems that the price of the device should be higher, it's like with headphones, they sound at a more expensive cost than what they are sold for. There are enough settings, octaves as well. I advise for amateur use or for training, enough through the roof. PS: I liked the use of the joystick, instead of the usual controls!

Pros
  • The assembly is excellent. There are no delays when working with the software, the feeling of playing on the midi keyboard is very good. Checked, you can work with any software. On Win10 everything is ok.
Cons
  • No.

I'm satisfied, it's a good purchase.

For the lucky ones like me (and there will undoubtedly be those)): I searched the entire Internet, I did not find any information on the repair. I took a risk, and, as I said, nothing complicated. On the back side, you need to unscrew ten screws around the inner perimeter of the back cover. Those that are along the outer perimeter (16 pcs) can not be touched, because. the keyboard itself rests on these ten. Then we take out the keyboard and unscrew the board. She is the only one there on 26…

Pros
  • All the declared functionality so far works flawlessly, although I agree with one of the reviews, the keyboard is only for stuffing midi parts in the sequencer. For myself personally, I also concluded that 49 keys are not enough for my tasks, at least an octave is not enough .
Cons
  • On the third day, the limiter of one of the keys (plastic) broke, the key pulled up. I fixed it myself, nothing complicated, though I had to unscrew more than a dozen screws ((

delivery was promised from 18 to 23. brought about 0.00. We went to return, the store employees, when examining the goods, found some scratches and traces from the alleged opening of the tool. sent for technical examination. perhaps it will be possible to return due to marriage - a non-working slider. I began to doubt the decency of the store. I'll probably go to a different store next time.

Pros
  • Compact tool, quite convenient, looks beautiful.
Cons
  • Slider not working

Best thing I have ever used, highly recommended!

Very good quality and reasonable price. I don’t play myself, I bought the keyboard for a teenager, I don’t see any reason to take it more expensive! But I don’t advise cheaper either, because I watched very weak midiclaves there, so everything is optimal here! It works well, tested with different programs, everything is ok, the keyboard is detected without problems.

Pros
  • Affordable cost. Quality build, looks like a serious midi keyboard! I liked the keys!
Cons
  • No. All good

There are deviations, in general it is tolerable.

Great as a home instrument for DAW - does not take up much space, inexpensive, strong. In my case, the keyboard successfully survived about a dozen falls from a height of a meter and a half and the sabotage of a nephew armed with super-glue (a thin file saved the keys from natural sticking). For such a price, of course, it is impossible to buy, but there are really not enough faders. I would not dare to go on stage with such a device, so for performances I have already chosen a more…

Pros
  • low price, light weight, compactness, indestructibility
Cons
  • not the best key mechanics, problems with black keys - when pressed, they give maximum volume

I expected more from buying, but not the worst option.

I'm not a professional pianist, but in terms of pressing I liked this keyboard, I usually play calmly and still edit Velocity manually. She lived for about 3 years and retired. At first, the keys stopped working and the joystick was very buggy, the keyboard itself sent midi commands and registered the pitch band, turned off the joystick by disassembling the keyboard - it didn’t help and it got even worse. As a result, my nerves could not stand it and I just threw it away. I also bought it when…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • 1. The joystick is the most important drawback, was the reason that I simply threw it away. The plastic headpiece broke within a month.

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

I bought it for myself, I don’t pretend to be a professional level, so I need this Claudia for my eyes. It is convenient to write tracks, the software determines it calmly, also when buying there was info that you can connect to Linux, maybe this info will come in handy for someone. It is convenient that everything can be placed on the table, laptop and keyboard. Device is awesome.

Pros
  • Pleasant keyboard, does not seem like a child's craft, the quality is quite felt. The weight is not light, it feels quite good in the hands and stands confidently on the table. I liked the keys.
Cons
  • No

I have been using it for 3 years, I bought it for 4500 more. Now I would not buy it for such a price, because 7000 is very expensive. It is convenient to write music in Cubase. In the third year of service, the key limiter to the center of the keyboard broke (the key protruded). Moreover, I don’t even know when it happened, certainly not during the game. I just sat down at the table one morning - I look - it sticks out))) I took it apart myself and glued it in place. The repair was very easy. I

Pros
  • + Comfortable + Compact + Multifunctional + Design + Price
Cons
  • - The keys are not all comfortable (there is no heaviness effect, like a real piano) - Black keys are too hard - Sometimes you need to fix it

There are deviations, generally tolerable.

Received for my birthday from friends. Looked like it. I looked at the characteristics: I liked it even more. Began to connect, does not want to work anywhere. I've read the forums, I'm not the only one. Drove under warranty, changed the central board. After that, it finally worked. The drivers are stupid, I’ll say right away, but in principle they become. Advantages. For those who understand that this is a Chinese midi keyboard, the keystroke is quite pleasant and adequate. It also works fine…

Pros
  • Good look, comfortable keys, adequate price, two pedals
Cons
  • Flimsy key holders, joystick instead of standard pitchers, defective (came back from repair, changed the main board)

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

At the first connection, it began to stink of burning, it became scary, disconnected. I read in the instructions that it cannot be connected to the USB hub and that the ports are kapets. I decided to connect directly, the light blinked, but the device also did not work, it started to stink again. Here I already thought that I burned the ports of the laptop. I went to test it on my computer, it started to stink even more. As a result, the cable looks unreliable, and in fact, a piece of Chinese…

Pros
  • Price 4 octaves pressure sensitivity
Cons
  • Unreliable usb cable included. When plugged in, it started smelling burnt.
