Review: WAY better than I thought (and for me better than the AKAI MPK mini) - OK kids. I liked this WAY WAY WAY better than I thought I would. I wanted something portable with full size keys and didn't need extra sliders knobs and other rarely used extras. I am a serious electronic music producer and things like after touch are a must for my world. In my main studio I have full size equipment, and I bought this to use when setting up temporary studio on the road. I appreciate the compact size. After unboxing, it took about 2 mins to get it bluetooth connected. The bluetooth is very low latency and the included USB cable can be used to connect to the computer as well. Feel and velocity are definitely different with this style of keyboard, but it is an easy trade off when compared to other controllers with mini keys -- i.e. I prefer the full size keys with less travel than mini keys with full travel. Velocity sensitivity works very well, as does the polyphonic after touch. The xkey software is SUPER impressive for setting up the keyboard. You don't have to have it but I strongly suggest downloading it - you will get the sense of how well this whole solution is thought through and implemented. You can set velocity sensitivity and curves and lock in great responsiveness to how you play. I also liked being able to set the auto-off timing for what suits me - it came set for 15 mins and that was too short for me, so I set it to 1 hour. Could be never if I wanted. I also appreciated being able to check for firmware updates and impressed that they even have firmware updates. This is way more of a robust solution than I had realized shopping for this online. The keyboard is well built and sturdy, and the configuration software is robust. Overall, I am more impressed than I thought I would be and thrilled with my choice. BTW - as an aside, I also bought the Akai MPK Mini MK3 25 key controller. I found it too difficult to play with the mini keys that are pretty stiff so it is going back.
Review: This is a fantastic keyboard. I HIGHLY recommend if you're looking for a travel/small footprint keyboard. - This is a fantastic compact keyboard! I'll get into my gripes (not really any) about the keyboard further down, but for the cost, this has been a fantastic purchase, and I can totally recommend the Xkey 37! Xkey 37 vs Xkey 25 Initially, I was going to purchase the 25 key model, but to do the type of music that I like (piano accompaniment), the 37 key model was much more useful. Let me say that I'm not a musician by any stretch of the imagination, but I do enjoy learning music (chords and chord progressions and how the music is put together). I use a Mac with GarageBand, and the Xkey really fits the bill. So let me get into what I really like about the keyboard: 1. It's very low-profile. While it's not as convenient as the 25 key model, it's still very thin. I wanted something with full-size keys since I have big fingers, so that ruled out mini-keys. 2. The free software/driver that comes with it (it needs to be downloaded) has some great features. Namely, the ability to assign keys to a lower register. For example, a song I'm trying to learn has wide range. I can compensate by dropping down an octave, but even still, I need to re-assign keys. The driver software allows me to use the bottom 11 keys (or however many I want/need) and assign them to a certain register. I think you could even do something crazy like assign a C key to a G or whatever. 3. The setup was plug and play (at least on the Mac). The driver software has been extremely stable. I've not had any oddities or strangeness when running it. The other Xkey software (which provides the instrument sounds) is limited to only a few different instruments, but you can start playing music without any additional purchases. Get GarageBand (free on the Mac), and you have a huge selection of instruments available. OK, here are my gripes, and they're minor. 1. Really the only gripe is that there is not a lot of "range" on the keys. They don't provide the feedback/weight that a normal piano/keyboard has, but I knew that going in. The keys do a good job with attack, you just need to get used to the feel of the keys. I would think that going between real piano keys and this Xkey would be a bit strange, but the Xkey is my only keyboard, and I'm used to it. 2. I would really like the ability to store multiple keyboard configurations (key settings), but currently there is only a single setting. Luckily that has worked for me so far, but I can foresee a situation where I would either need to reset the keyboard to its defaults, and redo my current configuration. Being able to create/store/recall multiple configs would be awesome. That's really just a feature, and not a gripe, but it would be cool to have. That's it. No real gripes. The other big plus in my mind is that when I sent an email to Xkey Tech Support for the feature request I listed above, I got an email back from a real person. Even though I didn't get a timeframe, I did get an email from a person who took my request, and got back to me in a very timely manner. I like that! Feel free to post questions, and I'll do my best to answer them. I understand that I'm probably not the exact demographic that buys this type of keyboard (not a student, musician, or composer), but for a portable keyboard, I'm extremely happy with the purchase.

### ⭐ 2 defective in a row. Not allowed a 3rd
*by T***1 on May 31, 2020*

I got one, the low A key wouldn’t press down. So I got a replacement. The high F key on the replacement got stuck down every time I pressed it. The bottom line is that it is so cool and convenient that I’m actually going to try one more time, and because I got a Bluetooth 4.0 adapter just for this purpose. I know that if 2 in a row are defective that you probably should cut your losses, but then again wouldn’t that make the odds of getting another defective one significantly less likely? The worst part about this is that I get sent a defective item twice in a row with the same item, and now I have to wait a week after they receive my return before they refund me so I can order the 3rd one. It feels as if I am being punished for them sending me 2 defective items.
