Customer reviews about Korg microKEY 25

A

Gets the job done.

Anonymous 26.10.2014

I bought this as a small desktop keyboard for inserting simple synth lines into demo tracks and for that it does the job admirably. Obviously it takes a bit of getting used to as the keys are smaller, but it's surprisingly playable once you adjust. It's class-compliant so you don't need to install anything, just plug in and away you go.

The velocity sensitivity is a bit flaky I find - it does work, but it's tricky to control. The joystick is a novel alternative to the usual wheels - it has a small range of movement which means it's not as easy to use, but, as it can control two parameters at once you can do some cool effects with it that would be difficult to do with two wheels. The arpeggiator is a nice feature too.

The bundled software was a disappointment though. It's all severely stripped down versions basically, and not worth the needlessly complicated online process you have to go through to get it.

Good portable MIDI Keyboard

Graziano P 04.05.2020

The Korg MicroKEY25 USB MIDI keyboard is a good "portable" tool due to its small size. It is USB powered and equipped with a joystick for modulation/pitch bend, a key to activate the arpeggiator (which is tempo-synced), a key for sustain, and of course the keys for changing octaves.
The keys are semi-balanced ("Natural Touch") and give a good feeling.
Compatible with Windows, Mac OS X (as well as iPad), I tested it with FL Studio without any problems.
Recommended, especially considering the price.

Just what I needed

Ill.y 12.06.2021

Exactly what I, personally, needed.
If youre a proffessional keyboard/piano player, it might not be just your thing, but for me, after having a 64 midi controller that I barely touched, this little thing suits me just fine.

keys are soft, the sustain control is very handy, and due to its small size it sits perfect on my desk and obviously very mobile.

it doesnt make any sound by itself so that cant be judged, So all in all, I feel like its the right tool to make me a better keyboard player

Best buy ever

Dave T-Bone 14.03.2024

I travel a lot for work, and this was bought as an on the road companion. We’ve been across the Atlantic a couple of times, and made music virtually anywhere you can think of. Fits in my backpack, works on USB 5V. Awesome!!

Great Keyboard for travelling

Bobby Reviews 03.07.2025

I was looking to get something to bring along with me in a laptop bag. The quality of the keys are okay for the price and feel really nice to play. It's compact and fitted great into my laptop bag (MacBook 13'' sized). Would highly recommend. It's easy to setup and get working with Logic. The keyboard also comes with a key for some free Korg sounds which can be fun to check out!

Would highly recommend for anyone looking to get a responsive small midi keyboard!

It's very convenient device

busymusic 30.10.2019

If you looking for a very compact bus powered keyboard with octave shift function, cc64 (sustain pedal) controll button, pitchwheel-modulation joystick and arpeggiator, this keyboard is a must have device. It seems for this price it does not have an alternative.

Compact powerhouse controller for creative producers

Nervez 27.10.2025

The Korg microKEY 25 is a perfect compact MIDI keyboard for electronic music production. Despite its small size, the keys feel responsive and expressive — great for programming synth lines, bass or melodic leads. The joystick gives precise control for pitch bend and modulation, and the octave buttons make it easy to cover a full range.

It connects instantly via USB without any drivers, making it super portable and reliable. Ideal for producers who need a solid and travel-friendly controller without sacrificing playability.

Wonderfully small but feature packed!

getepicerror 15.04.2019

Fits perfectly into my drawers. 1 key too small to play Whiter Shade of Pale without transposing, though...

Fine, nothing special but a handy portable tool.

GodotWaits 06.06.2022

Mod joystick lacks durability and feels like the cheapest of plastics but for the price and what it's designed for, it works just fine.
