- Launchkey Mini [MK3] 25-Mini-Key MIDI Keyboard

Great midi keyboard for the price. Syncs so well with ableton and keys and buttons and knobs are really good and feel easy to play.

So I'm gonna keep it short and simple. This is a great product with multiple features specifically designed to be integrated with ableton. I haven't got a chance to use it with any other daw. So, if you're an ableton user and looking to buy a MIDI keyboard on a fairly priced budget, then not going for this one is a no-brainer. For all other daw users, I'm sure it will work fine but you might miss out on some features like session control, direct play and record buttons etc. But as all things have a downside, this one is no exception. The pitch and modulation feature is decent at best. It doesn't have a traditional knob or a slider but rather a sort of touch pad wich you can use to control the sound via moving your finger up and down on it. Kind of like a trackpad on a laptop. The bends are very unreliable and I'm sure there are other keyboards out there that are better in this aspect. So if that's a deal-breaker for you than you should skip out on this one. The keys feel quite good and premium but if you're a pianist then you might feel that the strokes are a bit soft. (Didn't feel it too much, just a bit). The connecting cable is not a regular Type C to Type C. Rather, it's an old type A cable to a type C. Since it comes with a cable, that's not too much of an issue but good luck if you need a new one. All in all I give this product a Solid 8.5. Would have been a 9 if not for the pitch and modulation feature. TL;DR- If you use ableton, BUY THIS KEYBOARD. It's worth every penny. If you use any other daw then explore all options before settling on this.

If you are using Ableton or planning to move to using Ableton this is the midi controller for you Launchkey mini MK3 is very well integrated with Ableton and Live Looping can be done with ease Also Came in good condition and once you register your product on Novation's website you'll be able to get a ton of cool plugins and samples

Best Budget 25-Key MIDI Keyboard – Totally Worth It! Got this beast for only ₹4.6k during Amazon Prime Sale 🤑 — honestly, a steal for what it offers! I’ve always been a huge fan of Novation products, and the Launchkey Mini MK3 just proved why again. The build quality is solid for the price. The keys do feel a little springy — not like premium synth-action keys — but they’re perfectly playable and responsive. Where it really shines is the pads and knobs. The pads are super sensitive and feel amazing to play on, and the knobs have a premium feel that you don’t usually get at this price range. Integration with Ableton Live is next-level. Everything just syncs up smoothly — from clip launching to controlling macros — it genuinely speeds up my workflow. It almost feels like an extension of Ableton itself. And let’s not forget the free software bundle — it includes Ableton Live Lite, AAS Session Bundle, Softube Time & Tone, Spitfire Audio LABS, XLN Addictive Keys, and even Massive X, which itself costs more than 5x the price of the keyboard. That alone makes it one of the best deals out there for beginners and pros alike. If you're a bedroom producer or just getting into music production, this is hands-down the best budget MIDI controller you can get. 🔥

Keys are very loose. Not recommended for key programming. Good for rhythm. In same price & size range arturia is better. But Novation Launchkey 61 keys midi is very nice. You can buy that blindly no question on that.

Started learning production. Best product for beginners. Comes with free ableton live access. The drum pads are rigid and sometimes play twice on slight touch and the keys feel a bit plasticky. But great price for money. Overall good product. 5 stars

Don't buy if you use Logic Pro on M1 Macbook (Big Sur). It is not compatible. The alternate mapping also doesn't work. Customer care doesn't respond. :(

Disclaimer: I'm not a keyboard/piano player Was really easy to get started with. The learning curve is very small. The keys, pads and knobs are of good quality. The other buttons (record, play etc) could have been better. Over all, it does not feel like a budget midi keyboard, it feels pretty professional. Plus, all the freebees that come with it are amazing.
