### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good for it's price.
*by Q***E on 5 August 2021*

This is quite good for the price you are paying for it, it functions like a regular keyboard (which I would hope for considering that's what it's meant to be), and it is quite easy to use with only 1 USB wire being required for full usage. It is very slim which helps with portability when making music on the move, and it fits nicely with my pc setup. Talking about setups, it is really easy to set up, because of the one wire system I mentioned before. It also has a modulation controller for if you want to effect the sound played in certain ways easily. The only concern I have is that the keys feel a bit cheap. Not a bad type of cheap but you can tell it is a bit cheap. All in all, a very good product. Will be buying again in the future.
