Midiplus X6 mini

I bought this keyboard for the minimalist features, the size of the keys and especially for the MIDI out 5-pin socket, not a lot of sub €100 keyboards would have a MIDI out socket so Im very pleased with that feature. the touch sensitive sliders on the side are nice but I would have preferred if they were mod wheels as they would have been more accurate for doing slow pitch rises/falls, the touch strip for pitch isnt very accurate when tryin to do slow rises/falls. The frame is solid metal so VERY sturdy, the keys feel good, not super cheap, they dont spring back too much like a lot of cheaper keyboards and the key spacing is good for smaller hands like mine, I can stretch octaves on this keyboard where as I would struggle to do that on a full size keyboard. ultimately, it fulfills what I wanted - small keys, MIDI out socket, extended range (5 octaves). Perfect for what I need.

wanted a mini key keyboard due to space restrictions.. Had the korg 49 microkey non air version first of all.. but the korg control app didn't work on my mac mini and neither did the other models in the showroom.. so this meant i couldn't transpose or change velocity. The microkey key bed was pretty good and i generally liked it. Anyway, i traded it for the midiplus x6 mini and i couldn't be happier. Very solidly and sleekly built piece of kit with slightly larger than the the korg microkey keys which was a nice surprise.. As others have mentioned, the black keys are a bit stiffer the nearer you get to the pivot end but I'm already used to it. I absolutely recommend it!
