Rated 5/5

a lovely small keyboard with only a few small caveats that might or not might matter to you.

What I like:
It's tiny, but responsive, and in addition to the scale, there's several small switches that really add to versatility, like octave and pitch, sustain and mod.
-
What I didn't like:
I thought the keys would be rubbery like their pad controller.
They are not. They're smooth plastic that I found too slippery and 'cold.'
-
The USB port is a USB MICRO B, which seems like rather a large port for a device of this size, and I really really wish there were a bluetooth option for this controller.
That and more friendly surfaces for the keyboard would make this the perfect controller.

NanoKey2

I bought this keyboard to use as a keyswitcher to compliment my MODX 7 and my Kontrol MkII 61 keyboards. it works great!
Rated 5/5

Pro Or Amateur,The nanoKEY2 Is For You

Compact,tough,reliable. I thought the keys would be lifeless with no nuance, just a cheap finger pad-style on and off, but there's some playability included at this price. BTW, also works great as a finger-pad for entering beats. Use the Korg Kontrol software to set it up with all your stand-alone synths or DAW VSTi's. I use a nanoKEY2 and a nanoKONTROL2 for my mobile rig. Both, used together, cover a lot of ground as far as control within my DAW, and they take up very little room on the road. A lot of value in a quality controller from Korg, a steal at this price. The included software is worth the price of the nanoKEY2, so this is a win-win investment.

Great keyboard for travelling!

I used to own one of the original nanoKey keyboard controllers but it had eventually died from all the travelling with it that i did. So after having tried some other small keyboard controllers I decided to try this second-generation nanoKey2 and I love it. It has all the functionality of the first generation, but the key construction is much more rugged so it travels better. I use it for entering music into my notation programs (I primarily use Sibelius but I also have Finale, MuseScore and the new Dorico) and this is ideal. I don't play the music into the programs in real time -- I step-enter it and this is great for that purpose. It works well with DAWs also. It fits into whatever briefcase or backpack I am carrying my computer in. It's not a performance oriented keyboard, although with some practice it would be fine for playing single-line music much like a melodica. I find it's the best product on the market for the purposes I need it for.
