This incredibly inexpensive controller just works. The keys feel fine, and solid, the control are simple and useful, and they paired easily with Logic once I downloaded the nektar software package for Logic. No complaints at all. I'm please with this purchase. Not much of a risk, honestly, at this price.

This has served me well for over 4+ years. Recently had an issue with Studio One and my Mac Mini M1. Nektar support was awesome. They worked with me for quite few days until it was resolved.

They have setup files ready for all the major DAWs and OSs. The keys aren't weighted but this controller is light weight and not bulky. It also has great set of buttons and wheels. Record, play, stop, forward, backward, undo and more. Highly recommended!

The keyboard controller is super high quality and has what feels like semi weighted keys. It comes with software you get off the Nektar site that sets the unit up with your DAW as a controller, super easy! At this price it is hard to beat.

It feels better than a $ keyboard should, and is built well enough to survive my clumsiness.

Awesome midi keyboard for the price. Keys are not weighted but responsive. Feels exactly like a regular synth. Integrates very smoothly with DAW in this case Logic Pro X. Couldn't ask for a better MIDI solution at a super decent price.
