Melodic performance in the palm of your hand.
The Akai LPK25 Laptop Performance Keyboard is a USB-MIDI controller for musicians, producers, DJs and other music creators. The keyboard measures less than 13" across and weighs under a pound, so it fits easily into your laptop case, backpack, or messenger bag for extreme portability.

The Akai LPK25 Performance Keyboard contains an arpeggiator, which steps through chords automatically, assisting musicians with creating quick melodic ideas. Sustain, octave up and down, and tap tempo controls round out the Akai LPK25 keyboard controller's easy-to-learn layout.
The Akai LPDK25 offers plug-and-play with Mac and PC computers and requires no software driver installation or wall power for operation. The LPK25 Laptop Performance Keyboard has 4 memory banks for programming and recalling settings appropriate to the software programs you use.

I have used a lot of midi keyboards with all the bells and whistles. Anything from 16key to 81key. This one is great with the two octave rango. It has the arp, sustain for the arp, and octave up/down. Everything you need, nothing you don't. It's small, fits in my 13" Macbook Pro Messenger bag. It is SO light. For composing, on the road, this thing is great. However, for studio work and live, I would not recommend. The keys are SO small. Little licks, riffs, and solos are nearly impossible. I bought this along with Scarlett 2i2 for on-the-go writing and recording on a budget. I wish I could go back and buy a full size midi keyboard. If you're on a budget, this should suffice. If you have a little more coin, try going for Oxygen or something along those lines.

Comments about Akai Professional LPK25 Laptop Performance Keyboard:
I got this to use while traveling, and I've used it heavily about a month. It's a good size overall- easy to carry around in a backpack and perfect for playing chords and melodies while on the go.
With only 2 octaves there are limits to what you can do, but that's the tradeoff for the small size. While it's better than using a piano roll or computer keyboard to enter notes into a DAW on the go, I need more octaves for normal studio use. The keys are small but useable.
The keyboard has synth weighting and feels pretty good, and while being made of plastic it seems solid enough. If it were stolen or lost, I'd get another immediately.
Bottom line: A great product if you need extreme portability.

Comments about Akai Professional LPK25 Laptop Performance Keyboard:
This is a simple 2-octave keyboard. A true keyboardist would call this a "toy" but when on-site and you need to add pads or percussion or basic keys parts, this can be a life saver. Nicely made equipment even though plastic. And I've used it with 32-bit Windows (XP & Vista) as well as 64-bit Mac. To the best of my knowledge, I've had no problems whatsoever in any environment with this little dude.
Comments about Akai Professional LPK25 Laptop Performance Keyboard:
I use this Akai LPK25 with Reaper. The size is perfect, as it EASILY fits right between me and the computer keyboard. The mini-keys work well for me, as I am not Mozart. This unit does not have the feel of a grand piano, which is what one might expect. It works fine with my 32-bit Windows XP. You can take it anywhere you go with a laptop. No driver to install, just plug it in. This is great for the guitarist who just wants to add a little variety to their performance. I think it's a very nice product.
Comments about Akai Professional LPK25 Laptop Performance Keyboard:
I use this keyboard a lot and it is really fun to use. It feels really durable and will last a long time.
