ReviewsFeature: Actually a pretty good controller. I'm really wishing for a different product though. I want a few more keys, they don't have to be full size, or full travel, but I want at least another octave. And I want it to fit comforatbly in a laptop bag (along with the laptop), because this is what I practice on when staying in hotels, travelling for work. I carry my Oxygen-8 in my garmet bag, not in my laptop bag. So I still find myself "packing around it" as opposed to it being something I can easily carry with me.
Quality: Well, I abuse it, so this might not be fair, but sometimes some of the keys get sticky. I wiggle them a bit, and it's all better. I expect to destroy this little keyboard within a year or so.
Value: It was the only serious choice for the price range.
Desirability: I refuse to comment in this category.
Sound: It's not a sound device, it's a midi controller. That said, at least the key action is silent.
Support: I love this company.
Overall: Well, I wouldn't buy it again, but that's because I'm holding out for something that travels better. If I can carry an extra bag when travelling, I might as well have an anvil case with a 61 key synth :-)
