I do not know a lot about keyboards, but when I searched around the website, this keyboard was the perfect choice for me. When it arrived 24 hours later in the quickest delivery I have ever experienced (and by the way, thank you to dolphin music for it!!), it was better than I had expected, quick and easy to use, no problems what so ever!! I would recommend this keyboard to anyone with little or advanced experience in MIDI keyboards!!
Thank you M-Audio and Dolphin Music!!

Well, obviously you only buy this product to use to trigger synths etc, so really I can only review this on 2 levels - does it work, and is the extra £60 spent on getting the semi-weighted version worth it?
Well, it definitely works, and having used the unweighted version I would say to anyone who wants to use it as a keyboard and not just as a trigger to save your pennies and get this one. The weighting of the keyboard is quite simply excellent, and I'm so glad I took the risk - the overall feel is a mile away from the plasticy unweighted version - it really allows you to communicate with the lines you are playing so much better, which makes it a lot more fun.
It's arguably a lot of money for such a "simple" device, but combined with Reason or the likes, is the equivalent of many £1000s worth of keyboards - so £60 extra on the interface you use when it's this good is an easy decision to make in my eyes.
