Overall nice, except the hard touch.
PROs:
Design looks neat.
Sturdy.
Mod Wheel Pitch whee work fine.
No excessive 10 knobs that wastes my desk space. A keyboard and a keybaord only is what I want.
CONs:
The touch is rather hard. It is a common problem on low end full-weight MIDI keyboard. As a piano player, the touch is rather plastic and unfriendly to my hands. I will get sore after playing it for 30 mins. I will have to adapt my finger energy to play a more dynamic piece. It is difficult to get consistent soft touch.
At this price point, it is what it is. If I had more space in my room, I would go for the StudioLogic Studio/Grand.

For the price the best you can get
I've used this keyboard for over a year now and it was easy to translate from this to a 4k€+ Yamaha/Korg keyboard. The keys feel very good and in my opinion are the closest you'll get before stepping up to hammer keys.
Specs are basic but the device is very compact, sturdy and for the price I won't bother. I still enjoy it every day I play, it was worth for what I need it: as compact, cheap and playable as possible.
Also Nektars support was very helpful as I got a defective device the first time.

Build quality second to none, but misses a MIDI port
This is a very well made and solid built midi controller. I prefer keys that are enclosed like piano keys, as they have a better descending movement than the ones that stop mid air when you press them.
Another thing I liked about it is the fact that you can set any fixed velocity you wish from 1 to 127, which most models won't allow.
The only thing missing from it is a tradition MIDI port, which makes it impossible to use it as a master controller of other keyboards. So this one is restricted to being used with computers via the USB port...

Solid midi controller
This is a great budget midi controller. For the price keys are very good, pitch shifter and modulation buttons are sturdy. The keyboard works as plug and play, no installations needed. The only flaw for me would be that it doesn't have a midi out, as you have to connect it to a pc via usb cable.

Such a nice MIDI keyboard
This keyboard is a great solution for home producing and an easy way to handle your MIDI libraries, providing multiple features and abilities. The only thing that I wanted was a better velocity, but I don't think that it is a major problem for such a price like that! Overall, it is a great keyboard with many abilities, that will perfectly fit on your practice, your studio (and home studio of course) or your musical demands and even on small gigs.

All-round good keyboard for when you need extra keys without any extras like pads etc, for the price it's a very good unit.
