Arturia Customer Service is great. Amazon sent me a used keyboard though...urgh.
Color: White Size: 61 Key
The keyboard is beautiful, however Amazon sent me a used keyboard for my birthday even though I paid for new thus I was kind of upset. The keyboard was already registered to someone else even though it was new. I ended up complaining because the user guide was also missing and keyboard was a bit dirty, box was a bit torn and retaped, was missing it's original coverings. There was nothing wrong with the keyboard they sent, and I was told the warranty would be honored. I was able to get it cleaned up, get a discount from Amazon and luckily Arturia unregistered it and reregistered for me quickly (fast customer service). The keyboard works beautifully and looks superb. I see it comes with a bunch of software, but I haven't downloaded it all yet. It easily hooked up to my MC Beats software as well. Workes well with my Mac computer. Overall, the product is superb. Arturia has excellent customer service. A bit Jaded with Amazon sending me a used one when I paid for new. ... show more

Absolutely love this keyboard so so much. Finally got my pc all set up and installed the software, and everything runs together flawlessly. You don’t have to fumble around trying to move files where they need to go, so it works with whatever DAW you’re using. Just works. AND I can hook it up to my iPad and use it as a midi controller on GarageBand for fun, ALSO just works flawlessly. I 110% could not recommend this keyboard more. It’s beautiful, and feels fantastic. Fantastic price for all you can get out of it. ... show more

It a good product just be aware of the keys weighte and the size
Color: White Size: 61 Key
It's a good midi controller it worth the money. The only thing is the keys are semi weighted despite they say it light touch in the details. Then the keys are very short and small related to a real piano it feel like a toy.

Great value, light key action
Color: White Size: 61 Key
I’ve been using the KeyLab Essential mk3 for about 2 months with no problems so far. Very happy it comes bundled with Analog Lab V, which adds great sounds right out of the box. For the price, it’s an excellent value. The keys are not heavily weighted though, so if you prefer a more sensitive, piano-like touch you may want to look at a fully weighted keyboard. ... show more
