 For $50, it is reasonable Jun 21, 2006
By William G. Scott
The main drawback of this is its main asset: It is tiny. It fits nicely under my 17" iMac, and allows me to play with GarageBand, which is all I really wanted. For about $100 you can get a proper, full-size, midi/usb keyboard, which if I were at all serious would be the thing to get. But as a toy (for an adult or child), this is acceptable. Beware that the keys are so small that they are narrower than my fingers (which are not that fat) in diameter! It is a child-size keyboard really. I ordered this on Sunday evening and had standard shipping and it arrived 10am Wednesday. It works on Apple without external software; for PCs it comes with a CD. It seems to work fine.
Please note that this is not a stand-alone keyboard. To use it, you need the computer, and the sounds produced are synthesized by the computer software (such as GarageBand).

 This is a toy, not an instrument... Sep 27, 2007
By C. Converse
This is a perfectly functional MIDI controller. It's not velocity sensitive, but for many applications this doesn't matter. There is also no built-in capability to shift octaves, but depending what you're using it for this might not be a huge issue either.
The problem with this keyboard is that it's just too small. Yes, the description describes them as "mini keys." But I've used other keyboards that claim "mini keys" that were significantly larger than these. I found it nearly impossible on this keyboard to hit a single key; the keys are just barely as wide as my fingers.
I knew when I saw the box that I had made a horrible mistake. This item is obviously intended almost solely for children. It's actually perfect for children; but the description doesn't make this particularly clear.
If you're looking for a quasi-functional MIDI controller on the cheap for adult use, look elsewhere. This might work for playing simple beats, but for actually playing melodies you'll just find yourself frustrated.

Great for what i use it for Oct 06, 2006
By K. Litchholt
Im not a professional keyboard player. I bought this keyboard to have something to play around in with reason and Guitar Pro. It suits those needs great. Its detects right away and withing minutes you will be playing.
The keyboard itself is extremly small reminds me of a kids toy keyboard. If your looking for something more professional you will probably have to fork out the $100 bucks and get the bigger model.

Delayed note Mar 28, 2008
By Deborah R. Pine
"DROP"
My son ordered this to add to his music program. He is 12. He was disappointed that the key board keys were too small and that there was a significant delay before you could hear the note. Overall, the quality of the keyboard did not match the description for which my son based his order.

Okay for a basic unit Jan 27, 2008
By Anonymouse
I was disappointed that this keyboard does not register key velocity. Other than that, it is fine for what it is. IF all you need to do is trigger sounds, then this is a good travel keyboard.
