"Big Bang for the Buck"

Feature:
The keyboard itself doesn't, do much, but I didn't buy it to use without Reason, so concidering that, it does everything.

Quality:
I haven't had any problems with it yet, and it seems solid.

Value:
Concidering that I originally wanted the Korg Radias, I think for $1600 less, and with all the things I can do with it, it is well worth the $100.

Desirability:
It's nothing fancy, but I didn't buy it for other people to see. It looks like a plain keyboard. Average.

Sound:
I use this keyboard with Reason, so I get pretty much any sound that I can think of.

Ease of Use:
I plugged it in, and my pc recognized it right away. Really easy to set up.

Overall:
It would be perfect if the keys were weighted, but I was aware when I purchased it. Besides that, it does everything that I want it to do.

Ease of Use:
The action on this keyboard is terrible, do not buy this if you are a piano player. The maximum attack velocity on this keyboard is only about mf on a piano. it drives me crazy while doing orchestral mockups. You need to spend plenty of time editing the velocities afterwards. This item is terrible. Get something better, spend the extra dough. (mine was a freebie)
