At first there were a couple of issues with my software when I tried installing the midi driver. After a computer system restore, the problem cleared up and got me right to the keyboard. I really like the keyboard it has a bit if a squishy feel to the keys almost like a plastic underlay but it's something I got use to quickly and it actually feels kind of posh. The key size was my next concern (being a micro keyboard) but this was not an issue either, the keys are responsive and appropriate sized for smaller keys. I have a yamaha pss 270 from back in the 80s and the keys are definitely larger and more workable than the yamaha's. The only thing I would warn against is using it for performance, i wouldn't recommend it, it is good but not quite that good. The octave buttons are easy to use and understand and the pitch and modulation wheels work great with a good resistance feel to them. For music creation it is great very portable,light and to the point without being complicated yet effective! Review: Perfect keyboard for beginners - I'm rookie in writing music, and just wanted a simple keyboard to improvise with GarageBand on my iPad. This one swiftly caught my eye as it was simple, compact, didn't have all the bells and whistles which I wouldn't know how to use anyway. Besides, in addition to being compact it was available in 3-octave variant, which was the most optimal for me in order not to take too much space and have enough range to not switch too often. The only issue I worried about was potential problems with registering key hits and build quality. But it was on big sale, so I decided to take a risk. It definitely payed off! Build quality is great, and all the keys are very sensitive and register everything from the lightest touch to heavy strokes just fine. The only disadvantage for some people might be shrunk down key size, but it's another side of being compact. With just a little practice you'll get use to it and won't have any discomfort. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a simple and reliable instrument! ## Features - Bus-powered 61-key USB Keyboard Controller with Mod Wheel - Damper Pedal Input - Class-compliant - Pitch Wheel ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B017VS0W88 | | Best Sellers Rank | #20,832 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #38 in Synthesizer & Workstation Keyboards | | Color Name | Black | | Compatible Devices | Tablet | | Connector Type | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (823) | | Date First Available | August 18, 2015 | | Hardware Interface | USB 2.0 | | Hardware Platform | PC/Mac, iOS | | Instrument Key | Any | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 3.76 pounds | | Item model number | MICROKEY261 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Musical Style | Electronic | | Number of Keyboard Keys | 61 | | Product Dimensions | 37.2 x 7.28 x 3.22 inches | | Size | 61-Key | | Supported Software | IOS | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KORG - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Number of Keys:** 61 - **Size:** 61-Key - **Special Feature:** Compact, Keyboard Controller ## Images ![Keyboard Amplifier, 61-Key (MICROKEY261),Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Me7Ird7mL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this product compatible with programs like Finale and Sibelius?** A: Yes. It is a standard MIDI keyboard. I use it with Finale and Garage Band. **Q: do you need an external speakers for sound output?** A: Of course. This is a USB keyboard, which generally works with laptops/desktops. If you're going to be writing digital music, it is expected that you have headphones or speakers to work with already for your laptop/desktop. **Q: Is this compatible with fl studios?** A: Yes. It's compatible with all major DAWs **Q: I need a small keyboard for travel. I love Korg but my concern is the key size. Are the keys on the micro 25 close to real size?** A: Thank you for your question, Joe. I don't have a piano but I have a harpsichord so I measured the Korg keys against the harpsichord. The harpsichord keys are 3/4" wide and the Korg keys are 1/2" wide. I hope this helps answer your question.

Otherwise, lightweight with diminutive keys - smaller than I thought. ## Frequently Bought Together - Korg Keyboard Amplifier, 61-Key (MICROKEY261),Black - Korg microKEY 25 USB MIDI Keyboard --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/20585721-keyboard-amplifier-61-key-microkey261-black](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/20585721-keyboard-amplifier-61-key-microkey261-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
