Korg microKEY25 USB Keyboard Controller
MPN's:
Does what it does
This is a great product for the price. I use it as a MIDI keyboard and it works great for what I use it for. Velocity isn't as sensitive as a full sized keyboard, but it isn't too bad. The arpeggiator and mod/pitch wheel is what gives this product the edge over other portable MIDI devices, such as the Korg Nano and Akai LPK25. I have worked with all of these in the past, but the Korg microKEY25 beats the others, because of the mod/pitch wheel. It may be a bit bigger than the Korg Nano or Akai LPK25, but it is still portable and not too big.

Works well with computer programs
The Korg microKEY25 is a well made small USB MIDI keyboard. The keys have a good feel, are slightly narrower than a standard keyboard, but are easy to adjust to (if you are accustomed to playing a regular size keyboard). I use it primarily to play and try out virtual organ programs on my computer. It works equally well on Mac or PC. I like using the transpose buttons, which are conveniently located to the left of the keys.
