Smallest USB Keyboard?
Hey everyone!
It's been wonderful to watch the forum grow in the last while and to see that it remains an online oasis of civility and good vibes! Johnny Goodyear, man, you remain one of my favourite and funny writers on the whole internet....
Any road, here's my question: I'm a big fan of the M- Audio Keystation Mini32 and I love the fact that I can take it to a cafe or pub and not look like too much of a posing fool when I play with it.
Thing is, though, it's still a bit big for my man bag and I have to wedge it in with great difficulty when going on my Saturday afternoon escapades. Is there anything smaller out there that forum members have tried and tested?

The only one I can think of that's in the ball park is the CME Xkey 25

Keith McMillen K board is nice and tiny
I have a Korg NanoKey2 and a Keith McMcMillen QuNexus. Prefer the former for keyboard playing, the latter for drum pad playing. When I need a a real pitch bend wheel (and not just a button like on the NanoKey and QuNexus), I bring along my little-bit bigger MidiPlus AKM322.
Korg microkey, I have the bluetooth one but there's a usb one available too (although i'm not sure why that might be a preference), very pleased with it , use it on trains and stuff.
I use:
Qunexus
Nanokey
Xkey25
M-audio mini32
I use different ones for different reasons, often the travel context
QuNexus (or K Board) is pretty nigh indestuctible for slinging around ina backback. An about as skinny and tiny as one can get.
CME xkey by far!
I second the Keith McMillen K board. can actually run 2 of them off bus power via a usb hub to get
proper 4 octave action.
Qunexus user here, it's great.
I use a Novation Launchkey mini (25 keys). - it's a tiny, lightweight thing but works well on iOS, especially with the Launchpad app. Lots of knobs and buttons, but there is no mod wheel. The 16 drum pads work very well on other apps like DrumJam, and it works well on my Win7 PC, which for me is a huge bonus (damn Windows...grumble...).
+1
I prefer the QuNexus overall, but do also love the CME Xkey for more standard playing. To me, both of these are at the top of the heap.
