Korg - NanoKey Slim-Line USB Keyboard - Black

the lab review

Now in black!

OVERVIEW
Korg's Nano series are the most compact USB-MIDI controllers on the market. These slim line controllers give you versatile control over your programs in the studio, at home, or on the road at a very affordable price. This is the highly functional keyboard version.

FEATURES
The nanoKey is a bus powered USB-MIDI controller featuring 25 velocity sensitive keys, CC Mode button, octave up/down buttons, and mod button all in an ultra compact frame about the width of most laptops (and slimmer too). Use the nanoKey for versatile control over your DAW, virtual instrument/effect or DJ software.

OUR OPINION
If you're looking for an extremely portable USB-MIDI keyboard at an affordable price, look no further. You cannot get much smaller than the nanoKey, and despite its small size, it has features that can hang with much bulkier and higher priced models. The only negative would be if you are accustomed to full size weighted keys.
