Subject:A great little 49 key controller that won't eat up your desk space
Quality: The controller itself seems to be of excellent quality for the price. The keys themselves are a little 'soft' for my particular liking, but at $99, they are just as good as some controllers out there at twice the price.
Features: The best feature is the compact size and no-nonsense straight-up key controller fit-for-purpose.
Ease of Use: Very easy to use.
Value: Excellent value, excellent price point for 49 full sized keys.
Appearance: Efficient and clean, the appearance is good.
Skill Level: Intermediate

Subject:Well worth the money
Overall:

QUALITY:
For a hundred bucks this thing is good to go. Plastic but it's help up for me so far for studio use.

FEATURES:
It's not full of crazy assignable pads or faders etc but you should be able to control that from your synth software.

EASE OF USE:
Very easy and the jog wheels work great.

VALUE:
It's a $100 keyboard with touch sensitive keys what else do you want?

SOUND:
Sounds as good as the software you use. I use Reason and it rocks.
