Keys are flimsy and wobbly. They feel as though they'll come off pretty easily. Does not seem as though it would last long if used reguarly.

It would be wonderful if they included a disk with all the software, or at least some simple direct links to find it on their website. Only thing worthwile on this toy is it's size and the fact that if you want to use it as is (without editing anything), it functions by pretty much just plugging it in. As is it was unusable however to me, unless I wanted to just record some synth pads.

Could not get the editor to recognize the nanokey. Tried it on 2 computers, got some assistance on the korg forum until their rep gave up and left me hanging. The drivers and downloads that the instructions say need to be installed are incredibly hard to locate on their website. Nothing comes up when you search "nanokey". You have to somehow know to simply search "nano". Incredibly frustrating. Others on their forum had similar problems.
Sound

Irrevelvant.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
The sensitivity out of the box was pretty bad. You have to hit the keys fairly hard to get them to respond. Wanted to change the sensitivity with the "kontrol editor". That's when the real fun began.
