LEKATO 25-Key MIDI Keyboard - Portable USB/Bluetooth Controller for Music Production

This is edited review, because I bought another one of these MIDI controllers, since I wanted to have a separate keyboard for the Bass Cleft (Left hand notes). That way I could have the next best thing to a portable 4 octave MIDI controller only much smaller. Unfortunately the second item I was sent was defective. The enclosure's bottom was warped and the MIDI controller was rocking back and forth whenever I tried to play it. So I originally reduced my review down to two stars. I was about to return it, which was rather frustrating, because I don't have a printer, and I needed to go first to the East End of the city to print the labels, then to the West end of the city to hand in the package as I don't have the UPS return depot near where I live. However, having seen my review, the Lekato people (very promptly) reached me via e-mail directly and offered me a full refund, which was then processed in under 24 hours. Separately, they also e-mailed me the page with downloadable software for Windows. I didn't expect this at all, and I'm pretty happy about it because it saved me a great deal of my time. So I'll probably take a risk and grab another one of these, or better yet, - wait until Lekato releases a "full version" of the same keyboard (with pads and potentiometers), and just grab that one instead. Hopefully it will have the same great keybed as this one. Speaking of great keybeds - my original review is below.If you are a traditional piano player. - you should definitely grab one. Or two. I'm not sure how to even describe the experience, but when I started playing it, - I became possessed by it for days. Imagine a real analog grand piano keybed only shrank about 2.5 times. I'm sure these are definitely not full weight keys or anything of that nature, - but it feels like one when you're playing it. It allows for unprecedented level of manual dexterity and control for a portable MIDI controller, it's possible for me to play very fast melodies with my right hand, almost as though it were a tiny flute. I'm thinking of getting a second one for Bass Cleft notes, to play with my left hand. I've tried them all - Novation, AKAI MPK Mini, M-Audio, even Arturia, - none of the brand names have a comparably nice keybed which allows this level of dexterity and expressiveness. One that I found hits really close is Monoprice's "Stageright" which is also (oddly enough) a very cheap offbrand product but it's a very large, 3-octave MIDI controller which doesn't have the same portability as Lekato. I didn't even have to change its velocity settings, right out of the box - it appears to have a superb velocity algorithm. Of course stuff like that is in the Eye of Beholder, but still, I have to note that every single portable MIDI keyboard I tried before - I had to change the velocity algorithm till it resembled that of the analog piano. Not this one. Note that other than impossibly nice keys - it doesn't have anything else going for it, all the other features are fairly standard, and one drawback for me was the fact that you cannot connect it to MIDI TRS and to Sustain pedal at the same time. It's "either or" - the same 3.5mm stereo A-type TRS port is used for both. It has no pads and only one encoder so it can't compete in functionality with other similar keyboards, but with how nice its keybed is - it's definitely worth the price and rather unique. I only hope it lasts.
