Feature:
This is a very basic keyboard controller. It have two octaves, a pitch bend, a modulator, keys to move the octaves up and down and a switch to turn your keys into CC event senders. You can edit their functions with an editor. The keys are like laptop keys but velocity sensitive. Just what it is required for a very portable solution.

Quality:
It´s a Korg. With normal care it will last years. Just keep in mind that this is not a weighted piano-like keyboard...it is a portable midi controller of $49!! If you can set your mind on the purpose it is meant to be, you will find that the quality is quite enough for the purpose it has been designed.

Value:
I don´t think that there is another product like this one in this price range. It fits my purposes and I´m satisfied of what I get from what I paid for it

Desirability:
For me it was so cool to have the Black version. It looks great! Also the size of it called my attention. This is the most portable midi controller I found.

Sound:
This is a midi controller so it doesn´t have any sound by itself. Nevertheless, it comes with a coupon to license the software version of the Korg M1, which an exact version of the M1. The sounds are cool and very useful (even for a sound engine made for the late 80´s) I enjoy playing the M1 with the Nanokey and I can carry it wherever I go with my laptop!

Ease of Use:
As I mentioned in the "Features" section, this device is very basic. You won´t get loss using it.

Support:
I have never contacted Korg support before. I own also an M3 and some other accesories.

Overall:
As I said before, I own an M3 but unfortunatelly I´m not able to carry it everywhere anytime I want. With this tiny keyboard, I can go everywhere and I just need my laptop (with the M1 Le) and headphones to enjoy the music! I´m a music addict and with this device I can play the keyboard almost everywhere! If you doubt if this keyboard can be useful for something, just check the videos from Jordan Rudess rocking with it!

Feature:
WOW! It has pitch/mod controls. no plug for sustain pedal 1/8 would bee nice.

Quality:
indures a lot, the keys velocity sensitive (I actually used it in a gig)

Value:
Good price, would be nice to have a package deal with the other Nano Kontrols

Desirability:
I have it (must be good it keeps selling out)

Sound:
No sound, USB controller

Ease of Use:
Smaller than normal keys but easy to use

Support:
Don't need it

Overall:
Does exactly what I bought it for, small light and portable. I can carry it in my sling bag with my laptop (studio on the go-welcome to the 21 century), hop on my motorcyle and keep going!!!!

Feature:
Pitch bend is included, as is a mod button. Octave shift, I think, brings this instrument out of the toy category because you can be working over a full 88 keys in a form factor smaller than a wireless computer keyboard.

Quality:
I have to disagree with the existing review. I've had my nanoKEY for about a month. I turn the volume down on the PC and beat the heck out of the keys for maximum expressiveness - did I mention the velocity sensitive keys? They do feel exactly like laptop keys, so the action is more like tapping than pressing, but durability does not seem an issue. Works well for my electronic production style and drum programming.

Value:
Next above this in size, you have the smallest Axiom. If you don't mind paying $180 and carrying an additional laptop bag sized parcel with you, it's the vastly superior controller. Mixers, faders, pads, stop and record controls. But in order to toss a KORG controller IN my laptop bag and have 88 keys of velocity sensitive control, I was delighted to shell out $50.

Desirability:
I knew the thing would have a chintzy construction when I sought it out. It's so small and sleek, very minimalist. The KORG name lights up and the LEDS in various colors look pretty sharp too.

Sound:
The nanoKEY is a MIDI controller, so it obviously doesn't have sounds. But when controlling Reason 4.0 on my laptop, the program's sounds have no latency being controlled from this keyboard. So that's good.

Ease of Use:
Took a small bit of tinkering to get it to work properly with my setup. About what was expected. There is a "CC Mode" button immediately below the lowest key. I do not know what the button does because I have not needed it in set up or normal use. However, when accidentally pressed, my MIDI signal cuts off and the button must be unswitched. Don't know why it's happening but it's irritating.

Support:
I've never had to contact KORG with any problems with my Triton after all these years. I carry my nanoKEY in a neoprene wine bottle pouch by Built NY. If you can find one of these online, it's the perfect carrier because its padding is very protective. WARNING: The frame of the nanoKEY is thin plastic. It is meant for desktop use only or extremely careful carriage. Could not support even a small amount of weight, I'm sure.

Overall:
The nanoKEY has surpassed my expectations in pretty much every possible way. It's smaller than I thought. The keys, though they take a little getting used to, are satisfyingly sensitive and durable. Though I cannot speak for the quality of the rest of the nano series, I do fully understand and appreciate what KORG set out to do: create a miniature control environment that takes up very little room in a tight space and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. For $150, you can have a virtual desktop studio. I highly recommend this keyboard to anyone as a backup, highly portable alternative to an at-home keyboard, or an inexpensive first controller.

Feature:
Came with a usb cable which is all you need

Quality:
Well it's not great for a standalone controller. It's cool when u want something portable when you sit on the bed or are in a car or even sitting under a tree. Prepare for the most annoying sound ever which is the clicking of the keys that are designed like computer keyboard keys. It gets the job done.

Value:
The price is right for what it is.

Sound:
No sound (it's midi controller)

Ease of Use:
Plug and Play (easy)

Support:
It's Korg..You'll never need it.

Overall:
You won't be Jan Hammer with it but you can input notes and augment them later. Very nice aftertouch and pitch bend buttons. No delay. Plug and Play easy. No need to install any software. Not the end all be ll but purchasing for portability is 100%

Feature:
Good features, pitch bend, modulation, CC control.

Quality:
You get what you pay for: read some reviews on youtube. The keys will pop out, and it seems the keys have the same feel as a laptop qwerty keyboard.

Value:
This should be a lot cheaper.

Desirability:
Not sexy looking at all.

Sound:
This is a midi controller, so it doesn't have any sounds.

Ease of Use:
Very portable and easy to use.

Overall:
Maybe Korg will improve the unit. But for now, this a flimsy unit made of plastic.
