MIDI keyboard Korg microKEY-25 25 keys USB Black

The Korg microKEY-25 is a compact MIDI keyboard with 25 velocity-sensitive keys and USB connectivity, designed for musicians and producers who need a portable input solution. Slim and lightweight, the microKEY-25 uses Korg's Natural Touch mini keyboard with adjusted key proportions for easier chording and fast phrase work. The keyboard is USB bus powered and includes a USB cable for immediate connection to compatible computers and mobile devices.

Advantages

The Natural Touch mini-keyboard transmits velocity and dynamics accurately to your software, while a waterfall-style key shape facilitates glissandos and smooth playing techniques. The 25-key model balances portability and playability, offering an arpeggiator button, a sustain/tap button and an assignable joystick for pitch bend, modulation or other MIDI control changes. No driver installation is required on supported operating systems; the keyboard works with the standard USB MIDI driver provided by Windows and macOS. The microKEY-25 is also compatible with iPad via a Camera Connection Kit and a USB cable for mobile music creation.
