Which technical specifications motivated your choice?

Size, weight

Type of connections? (MIDI, pedals, etc.)?

Mini USB connector... It can be disconnected by mistake...

UTILIZATION

Does the keyboard feel comfortable? Does it fit your needs?

The playing feel reminds me a laptop keyboard with velocity. Not very pleasant...

- Is it easy to make settings?

Yes thanks to the downloadable software

Is it easy to select MIDI channels and patches?

Changing channels is only possible via the software. It's a pity...

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you been using it?

A few days

Which feature do you like the most / the least?

I like the size and the price!

I don't like the playing feel, the low manufacturing quality (I had to take some keys apart so that they work properly...)

Did you try any other models before buying it?

No real competitor product except a computer keyboard used as master keyboard with Ableton... Compared to that the NanoKey is much better. But it's not comparable to a real master keyboard. It was clearly conceived for people wanting to play anywhere with their laptop. It's sort of a music notepad.

How would you rate its value for money?

The quality is not excellent... Considering the price, I expected a better manufacturing quality.

Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?

Perhaps not... I plan to use it to trigger scenes in Ableton and maybe as songwriting tool when I travel. But if you plan to use it as a studio master keyboard, forget about it and spend more money to get a real master keyboard.
