CME XKEY AIR 25 Electronic Keyboard

Really like this. Fits in my laptop bag. Bluetooth works a treat. Velocity-sensitive keys, which was a surprise! Just works with GarageBand and Logic Pro X. Fab :)

Not so great for typing emails to you Nan, but perfect for a bit of music composition on the go!

[edit] The latency and connectivity issues have now been resolved so I've upgraded the rating from 1 to 3 stars. There are different instructions on the manufacturers website to those supplied with the product for connecting up. Under the forum section check out the post titled 'The Xkey Air connects to Mac OS and iOS via native Bluetooth'---------------I chose the 'air' over the cabled version for convenience. Before buying I did my research on whether latency would be an issue and all the reviews were favourable so I went ahead. I followed the instructions and paired the keyboard with my iPad Pro and received a warning from garage band that there may be some latency. My god I just couldn't believe it. Now I'm no Richard Clayderman but anybody who says they don't notice the latency (lag I call it) is deluded. It's totally unplayable. Next up I tried pairing it with my MacBook Pro via bluetooth but it just won't connect. So here I have it, connected with the supplied USB charging cable, in effect being a wired unit but almost double the cost. Not only that but annoying constantly flashing LED's notifying me it can't connect via bluetooth (how do I turn this off?).Aside from the latency and connectivity issues, it's a horrible little unit, certainly to play with minimal travel and no dampening. It's pretty much like typing on a mechanical computer keyboard - very loud. What an awful experience. I'm considering sending it back.AVOID like the plague.

These are great to play, with their velocity and aftertouch and all that. However, already owning the older non-bluetooth version of this device I can declare this updated version cannot compare in the reliability stakes. With my non-bluetooth version, I usb wire it to my Mac and it works (just as any complient MIDI device should). The Bluetooth version has added so much complexity. It needs to be charged. It needs to be turned on and off. The Bluetooth connection is great, with no latency (when it works), but on a number of occasions it would drop or simply refuse to connect. Of course it does have the wired usb connection option to fall back on, but I had similar experiences with this. A very hit and miss affair. My Mac would see it but my DAW might not, or vice versa. So, basically the manufacturers have taken something that was beautifully Plug and Play and upgraded it to something quite the opposite and in doing so making it a device you could never dare to use live. I sent it back.

Did not live up to expectations and definitely not as good as the reviewers say! Disappointed with functionality so returned it!

be aware that if you have a Windows laptop you are going to have to spend another fifty quid on a Widi Bud bluetooth adapter.
