"All good, except the pitch bend."

Overall:

(see rating details)

This is a great keyboard for space savers and composers on the go. it works with my iPhone as well as it does not require much bus power. I could not believe how small it is and was surprised by how many function Nektar have managed to pack in such a small enclosure. The keys feel good and are a velocity-sensitive. My only disappointment is the pitch bend, which leaves a lot to be desired. So disappointing that I almost thought about sending this controller back. But for the money, and for my very basic need, this is a great keyboard to have. I am planning to buy a bigger controller anyway so this will be a good addition for something to move around with while leaving the other on my desk.
