AKAI Professional MPK261 Performance Keyboard Controller- 61-keys

Akai MPK261

The feel is really great, which is why I went with this keyboard. It's my first MIDI controller, so I can't compare it against any others, but I have been playing piano my whole life, so feel is paramount. This gets the job done. It has tons of knobs and sliders and being able to configure them to whatever you want is amazing. I haven't gotten there yet as it will take some research to wrap my brain around how it all works, but I can see the potential and I'm sure it will perform.
Speaking of perform, I wish it had a 1/4" output, and I'm also having a little bit of a hard time finding a suitable power supply (thus 4 stars). I think it should come with a power supply. Their website doesnt really offer one that's specific to this keyboard. There are products out there that can work, but for now I am just using my MBP to power it, and it sucks up a lot of battery compared to when it's not connected. These are my only complaints and I'm sure that with a little more research I'll find what is needed, and I wouldn't let it stop you from buying it.
Product came on time in the condition it was advertised.
Very Satisfied!Read full review

Great keyboard

I bought this for my daughter. She just graduated high school and wanted something she could take to college to continue her piano playing.
Excellent product, not only for playing, but also for composing. 61 keys, for her, is the sweet spot; large enough to play what she wants but not so large that the portability factor is gone. Highly recommend!!Read full review

Excellent

Purchased for home recording and just now getting started, reached my goal, added an expression pedal for a pretty convincing B3 sound, and Green Eyed Lady sound in Garageband.
