Review: Perfect especially for the price - I had previously purchased an extremely cheap smaller keyboard thinking it would be good to teach myself to play. Turns out I was so very wrong, the small and awkwardly stiff keys and the simple lack of more keys wound up being extremely demotivating. Now I bought this Nektar 49 key and I immediately could tell this was the one. The build quality is pretty cheap feeling but not in a way that you'll notice while actually using it because the keys themselves feel great and theres no flexing or creeking! For being a fraction of the price for any other decent midi keyboard I cannot praise it enough, I liked it so much I bought the 61 key version which I found was the perfect size for most songs I want to play. Works great in Synthesia too as shown in the pictures!
Review: Great Keyboard! - Great Keyboard, bought this for practicing so far still holds up, I use it with my iPhone, my tablet and Mac computer and works great, integrates with any software literally!. works great with MainStage and keyscape. which it could bring a pedal, but you would have to buy one additional to your purchase, but it does what it says it does and is not heavy at all, you can bring it with you anywhere.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the total length of an individual key?**
A: 5 3/8
3 3/8

**Q: Curious about the size of the keys. Could someone who owns one of these measure the exact total width of the 61 keys (from lowest to highest)?**
A: 32 13/16

**Q: Does this work with Ableton?**
A: Not really

**Q: can you plug in headphones to this?**
A: It's a MIDI controller only- it doesn't generate sound on it's own, so no, it doesn't have a headphone jack.  It needs to be plugged into a synthesizer module or a PC running a synthesizer application via USB (either of which would require it's own headphone jack) .

Great Keyboard, bought this for practicing so far still holds up, I use it with my iPhone, my tablet and Mac computer and works great, integrates with any software literally!. works great with MainStage and keyscape. which it could bring a pedal, but you would have to buy one additional to your purchase, but it does what it says it does and is not heavy at all, you can bring it with you anywhere.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, almost great
*by M***1 on July 30, 2025*

I use this keyboard just for Speedy Entry with the music notation software Finale. I appreciate the effectiveness of the keyboard and the lightness of it, and the price was good, but the lowest key has never worked, and for about the first thirty seconds of use every time, it is not very responsive. Otherwise, I would give it a five-star rating.
