Take Your Music Making Mobile With the MX Keys mini key Fob

The MX Keys Mini will allow users to compose music on the go. The keyboard, which is tenkeys-less, was created in response to requests for a smaller version of the popular MX Keys.

It has three functions to assist in working remotely during the Covid-19 Pandemic - the dictation button, the muted keys and an emoji keyboard.

Size

There are a variety of different sizes of keys found on synths and keyboards. There are "mini" and "slim" keys and also full-size keys. Each one has a distinct shape and feel, but what's most important is the total package - not just the number of keys and if they're mini key replacement or full size.

Casio SA51, for example has 100 sounds and 50 rhythms however, it is smaller than other models. It's therefore easy to carry around and is an ideal practice instrument. In the same way, the MicroKorg XL has smaller arrow keys but larger space, the right shift and enter buttons. It all depends on your needs and how important portability is to you.

In this category, our favorite is the iRig Keys Mini. It's an excellent choice for musicians on the go or anyone looking to practice at home, in the office, or anywhere else you want to work. The keyboard is portable and light and utilizes Bluetooth wireless technology to connect to your mobile device.

This model comes with more than 500 professional-quality onboard sound effects and loop mix to create your own songs, or make it an instrument controller for other hardware synths or DAW software. The keyboard is designed to be simple in its functions for beginners.

It comes with a USB keyboard that connects to your laptop, computer or tablet. It allows you to plug any keyboard compatible into the receiver to control your DAW directly.

Functions

The MX Keys Mini is a compact keyboard that comes with a lot of features. It comes with dual keys for Mac and Windows so you don't need to be concerned if you switch between laptops at work and home (a usual practice when the coronavirus epidemic was in full swing).

This keyboard also has numerous other useful features, including the system mute button which is available across all your apps and conferencing software. It also comes with a dedicated keyboard for dictation and an emoji keyboard to allow hands-free transcription.

The layout of the MX Keys Mini is still impressive, despite that it has been reduced in keys to make room for its 65%-sized. The cursor jets are squished into the shape of a laptop double stack and the function row has been narrowed in order to accommodate the delete button. The only real drawbacks are the lack of a Touch ID fingerprint scanner and the Back button which turns on the backlight, which can be distracting while typing in dark.

Portability

If you're planning to carry the keyboard and compose music, you require a compact keyboard that is light enough to comfortably fit into your bag for gigs or backpacks. It should also have useful features that can help you capture music while you travel.

If your mini-keyboard has been exposed to water, remove the battery right away and clean it with a paper towel. After drying completely you can replace the battery. If the key fob does not work following this procedure, it could have been reprogrammed and require an original replacement mini keys key to reset the device.
