Color: White Style: MIDI Keyboard only
This is a fantastic controller for MIDI or CV capable synthesizers. The keybed has a light touch and is velocity sensitive. I find the MPC pads to be rather stiff, however. The pitch and mod wheels work perfectly. I've tested it with my Roland AIRA chord synth and I've also hooked it up to my PC and used it in FL Studio without any problems. The chord feature is fantastic and idiot-proof, and the menus are intuitive. This is definitely worth the extra money spent over the original 25-key version. I have a Stylophone on order that hasn't arrived yet, and this should also control that synth as well via CV, which is part of the reason I bought this. ... show more

  • Nice MIDI controller at a decent price.
Color: White Style: MIDI Keyboard only
Really nice MIDI controller. Comes with a USB-A cable to connect to a computer (no MIDI cables, which is normal for controllers, so not a surprise). Lots of good functions. The keys ARE small and feel kind of plasticky (they are, after all, plastic), but it's well made, and seems like it will last. Responsive pads for the percussion pads (rubberised -- 8 of them). Modulation wheel feels just right -- not too loose, not too stiff. The pitch bend wheel has a nice spring, and feels solid. Good set of keys and knobs. Some gate sync connections, a sustain pedal, and the 37 keys is a good size going up 3 full octaves -- I prefer it over the smaller 25 key formats. It's still small enough to be portable without being limited for use. The size of the keys makes playing full pieces a bit impossible, but it's a controller, and not meant for that. It's good for keying in the notes you want where you want them, and maybe doing a chord or two and a short run. Overall, I'm super pleased with this controller. ... show more

  • Excellent Mini Keyboard Controller
Color: Black Style: MIDI Keyboard only
The Akai Professional MPK Mini Plus - USB MIDI Keyboard Controller with 37 Mini Keys is excellent. Everything functions perfectly with my Windows 11 computer. Pad quality is good. It is easy to learn how to use. It is compatible with all my DAWs and VSTs. The control buttons are perfect. It's a great value for the money. Although I wear large size gloves, I can still play the mini keys without any problems. I highly recommend this MIDI controller. ... show more

  • Akai MPK Mini Plus - 37 keys feel decent. Pads are excellent. Sequencer is a plus
Color: Black Style: MIDI Keyboard only
Spoiler: Definitely my favorite "controller" as tested. DISCLAIMER: I did not test any bundled software. This review is primarily an "out of the box", plug-and-play test. The vast majority of the playing, looping and configuration was in Garageband for iPad and a little in Logic Pro X for iPad. I watched a lot of reviews on YT and decided to try them for myself. I wasn't sure which controller would work best for me. I am relatively new to the DAW/MIDI controller world. I have dabbled in piano and synth for decades, but am definitely not an expert. Below is my take on the Akai MPK Mini Plus. Devices tested (for comparison): ⦁ Arturia Minilab 3 ⦁ M-Audio Oxygen Pro Mini ⦁ Akai MPK Mini Plus - THE DEVICE BEING REVIEWED ⦁ Akai MPK Mini Play mk3 Things I liked about the Akai MPK Mini Plus: ⦁ Pads are best of breed. To me, they feel like they "should". Solid, not wobbly or sloppy. Easy to control precise strikes and velocity for beats. Akai pads are a big selling point for me. The MPK Mini Plus and Mini Play mk3 both have great pads. The Mini Plus are square and larger than Mini Play, but both are excellent. ⦁ MPK Mini Plus has 8 endless encoders. That's a good amount of controls to assign in your DAW. Without faders, 8 is probably a good idea. ⦁ Physical pitch and mod "wheels". They worked as expected. ⦁ Discreet transport controls, including sequencer play/stop. I like these on the Mini Plus. I definitely prefer discreet buttons to "shared" (especially if shared with pads). ⦁ 37 keys. Definitely my preference. 25 is very limiting, and 32 is an unnecessary middle ground. My opinion: go minimal (25) if space is extremely limited or go full 3 octaves (37). 32 keys doesn't make sense to me. ⦁ Sequencer: works well. Visuals are on the tiny OLED screen, but it works. ⦁ MIDI in AND out "plus". Only the Mini Plus has this many useful ports among the controllers I tested. Makes this more compatible and "future proof" as your needs/setup change. ⦁ Quite a lot of function labels on the face of the device. This makes it easier to use a "shift" keypress and the clearly labeled button/key to select a parameter. I find it easier to recall what function is where. Some may not like the "cluttered" labeling. Things I DISliked about the Akai MPK Mini Plus: ⦁ key feel was not bad, but not as good as Arturia. They were thinner, look and feel less like "real" keys. I was able to play smooth, melodic key parts pretty comfortably. I didn't adjust the velocity. Maybe that would have helped. ⦁ The preset for Garageband didn't map completely to iPad OS. None of the controllers I tested did, so this isn't really a dig on the Mini Play specifically. ⦁ No faders. Not sure that's a deal breaker for me, but might be for some. Overall build quality - Akai MPK Mini Plus: Excellent. Everything feels like quality. Pads are really, really good. Keys feel good, but not quite as good as Arturia. Encoder knobs feel really good. ... show more

  • Extra software.

Fantastic keyboard. Keys are premium and very responsive, and the package came with more software than advertised (as of April 2026). I was able to get all the instrument and drum kits for free.

  • Light and Portable!!
Color: White Style: MIDI Keyboard only
This little controller is bad ass. Even though it’s small, it has a feel too it. Love that it’s big enough for 2 handed playing, love the pitch bends and drum pads, but my fave is that it’s light and so easy to travel with. I’m on the road and write and orchestrate often from hotel rooms. This is my new jam! ... show more

  • Fantastic Controller

Two onboard sequencers 64 step, can’t beat it for the price, they even have swing. Plus it feels good and plays well. The pads are great and even have aftertouch. I like having the joystick and the wheels as well. 5 pin midi is great to see. It’s been a breeze to get setup and working, it’s basically plug and play. Excellent budget controller, hardware compatible. ... show more
