Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The keys feel nice and weighted. They aren't weighted but don't feel flimsy like a $20 radioshack keyboard.

Price is nice. The casing is strong and the keyboard came well packed. Included a user manual (printed) and a copy of bitwig studio.

Easy to use keyboard with transpose & octave * for lazy musicians. Great velocity with a little key stiffness. Some say it is hard some say its soft. Like drum pads.

Nektar is simple and streamlined. It has zero latency (well 14ms but that's normal for my daw) pairs easily with ipad, making for huge versatility. If you need a controller that will recognize most daws then this is the one for you.

Cons

The keybed frame is also bowed. Im sure it works fine vis a vis the computer, but the action is just terrible. The key sensitivity is awful.

Price

I paid 3000 for my old kurzweil in the 90s so this is amazing for the price

The action on the keys are amazing for 100

Conclusionall in all this keyboard controller is a great budget item

I honestly don’t think you’ll find a better midi keyboard sub 100

Shipping

Competitiveness

I tried reaper second which was equally as good

Highly recommended i might just have to stick with nektar as my brand of choice now

Certainly a lot of other keyboards out there in the price range are not any better and are actually worse in my opinion

I am not able to compare it to any other keyboards or pianos
