Review: Omgerd - This thing is really awesome probably the best keyboard for the price point. I'm hooking it up to FL studio and using the sliders to control omnisphere. It's really really awesome. The keys feel wonderful I came from $100 Yamaha so these are really nice I don't like the heavy keys because I can't play fast techno sounds so this is perfect. There's so much to it that I haven't learned yet but all I wanted was a simple MIDI controller with 88 keys so I can play some dynamic songs... I currently have it hooked up to my laptop which is on the wall eventually I'm going to get some good speakers to output some sound to and I can make it portable.
Review: BAD PURCHASING EXPERIENCE - HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! WAS DEFECTIVE ON ARRIVAL. WAS NOT PLAYING KEYS CORRECTLY. WAS PACKED IN A FLIMSY BOX THAT WAS COMING APART. HAD TO FIND MY OWN BOX TO RETURN IT AND SPENT AN HOUR REPACKING IT.

### ⭐⭐ Need for it to play without computer.
*by S***R on June 7, 2025*

Doesn't explain that you need a computer to play it. Spent hours trying to figure out. Called support, she didn't know either.
