    • Solid peripheral
I bought this separately from Rock Band 3 because I wasn't sure if I wanted yet another plastic instrument. The pro mode intrigued me enough to pick it up later. About the controller: It's built pretty solid. I think MadCatz have redeemed themselves with the Rock Band controllers from the days of their crappy gamepads. The keyboard has a two octave range, standard Xbox 360 buttons on top, a big button on the 'neck' for Overdrive, and a little pad that you touch to do effects for long chords which is pretty cool. It also has MIDI out if you are so inclined to use it as a real instrument. There's also a strap if you want to use it as a keytar, but I prefer it on a table or on my lap. The keys respond well and have an OK weight. I would prefer them a little heavier as I am used to that more from piano and sometimes sliding my fingers to feel for the next key I would accidentally hit another key. There are also a couple raised notches on the side of a couple of keys to help guide you on your finger positioning, but I haven't gotten used to using them at all. Overall it works as it should and doesn't feel cheap. About the gameplay: Having played Rock Band since 1 and Guitar Hero before that, regular keys mode is a breeze. None of it pose a real challenge on expert except a few fast paced songs with a lot of chords (hand gets tired :(). Pro keys is where it's at and it's really hard. I play a little piano and still find it difficult reading the falling keys on screen and judging where I am on the keyboard. I find a lot of the times I just get lost on where my hand is. It takes some practice and for expert mode you basically have to learn the song, which isn't a bad thing. The keys you play are the actual keys used in the real song, albeit only the right hand in most cases. One gripe is the game doesn't seem to have a freeplay mode for keys like it does for drums. Would have been a nice option to just mess around with if people don't have a piano or other keyboard at home. Only about 60 something songs out of the 80 something have keys support in Rock Band 3. And none of the DLC and imported tracks prior will have keys support. If you already have a keyboard with MIDI out you can get an adapter to use in Rock Band 3 instead of this, though depending on how much trouble it would be to set it up and tear it down, this keytar may be more convenient. I recommend getting this if you are looking for a new challenge in Rock Band and interested in learning some basic keys. However if you are someone that plays on Easy/Normal and very casually, the standard guitar will work with standard keys mode and you don't need to get this. ... show more

    • Tough Learning Curve, but Still Fun
I've had Rock Band 3 for a few months and decided to pick up one of these keyboards to try out the "Pro Keys" feature, and see just how fun the pro modes are. I've never played a piano/keyboard with any amount of attention that I could really learn anything so I'm completely new at playing keys. The normal "Keys" is very straight forward and simple, easy to grasp, and no where near as complicated as pro. Anyone can have fun with this mode, even new comers will find this easy enough. The new ones also come with an arm strap so you can hold it like a keytaur, but when I wore it the keyboard sat up to high and I couldn't hold it comfortably. "Pro Keys" However is a massive leap to a whole new level. Luckily enough there is a "Learn an Instrument" Mode that will roughly teach you some basics, but I found it failed to even give you the correct way to place your hands. And it seems like out of nowhere you're expected to hit 3 and four note chords. After you get accustomed to the very very basic of things you can move on to the learn a song mode (Only available for songs from Harmonix not RBN) this will give you the most repeated parts of the song and your goal is to get 100% on each section. So it doesn't really teach you anything you just got to figure it out as you go. Once you've got that down and start actually playing for points is when things get a bit difficult. Even on Easy I found things pretty hard, and I've only passed a handful on Expert. This however does not distract from the amount of fun I had playing though. Overall I believe in time I will come to enjoy this very much. It does a great job of note placement (Looked up a few online) and the keyboard itself is very nice. But it does lack a lot in the department of teaching you how to play the instrument. So don't expect to be playing Impossible level songs on Expert (Or hard for that matter...) a week after picking it up if you're brand new to it like me. It's fun and everything but don't think it will replace a traditional piano lesson. ... show more

    • Not exactly a "new" experience, but renewed fun
Playing the keyboard, at first, feels much like playing one of the guitar peripherals. You're pressing buttons, now you can use any finger, and both hands, and don't have to strum, but the experience is much the same as on the guitar. Each song uses only a set number of keys (a span of ten white keys) - as the song starts, you can see which keys you'll be using. Very quickly, you'll move to higher difficulties, where you start playing chords on the keyboard. At that point, it becomes significantly more fun, and starts feeling like you're doing something different. When you're comfortable there, the "hard" and "expert" difficulties, it moves which keys you're playing on, so you need to use a larger span of the keyboard. At this point playing the keyboard feels quite significantly different to playing the guitar. I should mention that the Rockband 3 songs let you play the keyboard in either "normal mode" (five colours) or "pro keys mode" (proper keyboard notes, with black and white keys) mode. I expect people would be playing in pro keys mode, otherwise it's just a replacement for the plastic guitars, and not much else. On any older songs imported from other games, you can still use this keyboard, but you need to play the guitar or bass parts, using only five keys. Even then, I tend to sometimes use the keyboard, usually to give my hands a break when they start to cramp from the guitars. When playing imported songs I have more difficulty playing expert mode on the keyboard than the guitar, due to the fast notes & chords being structured for a guitar. When playing Rockband 3 songs set up for a keyboard, I don't have this difficulty. Of course, the learning curve of playing pro keys is a lot higher than playing the five-button peripherals. This is good, it keeps the game interesting for longer, and lets you learn to play the keyboard. Win-win! ... show more
