Take Your Music Making Mobile With the MX Keys Mini

The MX Keys Mini will allow you to make music while on the move. This tenkeyless keyboard was designed in response to requests for a smaller version of the renowned MX Keys.

It is equipped with three functions to allow remote work during the Covid-19 pandemic more efficient with dictation keys as well as a mute button, and an emoji key.

Size

There are a variety of different sizes of keys found on synths and keyboards. There are "mini" and "slim" key sizes and also full-size keys. Each of these keys has a unique shape and feel. But what's important is the total package, not just the number of keys available or whether they are full-size or mini key fobs.

For instance, there's the Casio SA 51, which boasts 100 sounds and 50 rhythms, but is smaller than alternative models. This makes it easier to carry around and makes for an ideal instrument for practice. The MicroKorg XL also has smaller arrows, but more space as well as right-shift and enter buttons. It all depends on your requirements and how important portability is to you.
