Launchkey 25 or iRigKeys IO-25?
In my live gigs I use a Launchkey 49 with my iPad Pro 12.9, and I would like to use a 25-key with my iPad Air. I've used a Microkorg at times, but there are of course no controls on it.
The Launchkey 25 or Mini would be the obvious choice, with the Mini getting the edge due to being smaller, though I'm leery of its tiny micro-usb connection. I thought about the IO-25, which, while double the price, does have the audio hub part. (Currently I use an iRig Pro for my headset mic.)
Does anyone have experience with a) Launchkey 25 versus the Mini, and b) the IO-25 in general?
Many thanks!

I’ve got the Launchkey mini. It’s as the name suggests, very small. I know that some people who are used to larger keys find that an issue. However, that does make it very portable (which is exactly what I need it to be), and needs no ext power supply.
The control knobs on it feel a little bit cheap, but they seem to work pretty effectively. My one frustration with it (which isn't a huge thing) is the lack of mod/pitch wheels.
Regarding the micro-usb connection: it’s fine, so long as you get yourself a decent cable ( I managed to break the one that comes with within a week, but you can get ones made of sterner stuff on Amazon for the price of a pint).
I’ve not really had much of a play on the 25, but I think that’d be the better investment of the two, if you’re looking to use it for live performances.
