Not bad
All good with this midi keyboard. One thing i don’t like in particular is the “feeling” of the keys (i.e. soft playing is not loud at all).

Great entry level Controller
I have been using it for a while and it works flawlessly, it's great if you don't have alot of extra space also.

Nice little starter keyboard
Good intro to midi keyboards, enough for me to plug in to Ableton and start music. Box feels a little plasticky, no real weight to it, but otherwise does the job well.
Keys and pads velocity works well. Supprised with the force required to register max velocity, I have no experience as to whether that's normal or not for these things. Pads and keys do respond well to subtle touches, so happy for normal playing. Jut have to really mash the pads/keys for it to register as a hard strike.
Software is a bit limited and dated, and single licence means I cant install simultaneously on my PC and mac.... However the voice library with the AKAI software is pretty comprehensive.
All in all, happy with the product.

great price-quality ratio, amazing and cheap
offers all the features needed from a midi keyboard while being cheapr by over 40% of competitors midi keyboards that provide the same features, i must admit that the buttons had a slight problem but it gets fixed when i unplug it and then plug it in again, the quality is as high as you can expect form such a cheap product but it still managed to amaze me.

Bang for buck
Decent MIDI keyboard for people wanting low budget boost to their production. For the price the build quality is really good; not a fan of the pitch bend joystick, but other than that all of the MPC pads, keys and knobs are feeling nice.
It comes with few VST plugins, which is a cool addition. The USB -cable included could be significantly longer though.
All-in-all, a great value for the money.

Super portability, keys are often failing
"I'm buying a new one soon because of its great features, but the keys keep failing. This is my third replacement in 5 years because some keys stop sending MIDI."

Jako dobra spravica za male novce. Izuzetna za kućni studio.

Good starter midi keyboard
It suits the needs I have for it, my one issue is that the drum pads seems a bit unresponsive. I have to hit it fairly hard to get a consistent sound out of it, and even then it often doubles the hit, making it hard to record any drum patterns with it.
I can only assume it’s a settings issue on my end, but it is a tad rough on the fingers.
Apart from that the programmable knobs are great for a lot of purposes, I use them to adjust virtual amp settings for the guitar, which is a bit easier than gripping the mouse while playing constantly.

Good mini keyboard if you can live with small keys
Good quality overall, but the keys are very small. I am not a keyboard player, bought the Akai to learn a bit of piano. Loved the pads and the knobs, hated the keys. Creating your own MIDI bindings in the AKAI editor software is a pain as you have to manually put in note numbers, AKAI mention a pull up menu for note names, but it's nowhere to be found at least not in the latest version of the software. I sold the piano after two months. I think M-Audio Oxygen 49 Mk4 is a much better offer if you're ready to shell out 20 euro more.

Sturdy, great for price
A small package that comes with everything you’d expect, feels solid not cheap, pads are surprisingly good and the knobs feel nice to turn. As of everything else it is a MIDI controller how you would expect it.
