I thought I would look at other reviews of this piece of equipment before purchasing, it didn't take me long to make my mind up. There are four similar keyboards presently available and the Akai wins hands down! There is nothing better than getting the feeling that you know what sound you want and being able to take your laptop and this keyboard out and whether you use Fruity loops or Sibelius, you can get it from your head to the computer anywhere and that IS cool!. Of robust design and the velocity sensitivity is very accurate. Initially picking it up through DMS can be tricky but it carries its own usb and midi port information that its easy to find. For me its made making music so much fun, and as I live in a flat its not so easy to leave a large midi keyboard out for space reasons so this is perfect, its small and fits on the qwerty keyboard shelf on my computer desk so all I have to do is plug it in, and see if its connected by turning on the arpeggio button, oh yeah its got programmable arpeggio settings... fun in a small packet. Whether your into Chopin or like me Chicane, this is a great piece of kit. I can horoughly recommend buying it... If you doubt me, check it out on You Tube....

An absolutely perfect product.
Didn't really know what I was ordering as I am new to music production, and just wanted something simple and easy to use, and this is it. It plugs straight into your computer via USB - I use Garageband at the moment - and there was no installation, no set-up, it just worked.
The actual keyboard is lightweight, smooth, the keys feel great when playing.
What's more, I was taken by surprise by its' arrival - it came 2 days earlier than expected! I would recommend this 100%.

Akai lpk25 keyboard
This has rave reviews on many sites. It's a two octave keyboard with keys about 2/3 normal size. The keys have a normal layout unlike the korg nanokey. Read more

Good little keyboard for on the spot and out the house composing!
I do think this is quite a good idea for those composers who are out and about and find random inspiration from what they see and hear and translate this into music... Read more
