Rating: - Very nice for a 25 keys midi controller!
It's very nice if you're looking for a 25 keys MIDI controller, you even don't need a MIDI cable cuz it does it all by included USB cable, the only thing is that it doesn't come with a printed manual and the setup it is not intuitive at all!!!
Rating: - Now if I only knew how to make music!
I love most things about this controller, and in time I'm sure I'll love it even more. The size, weight and feel of the controller are nice, its enjoyable to work with. The system behind it is daunting to someone with no experience with MIDI so the lack of a printed manual works against it; yes there is a PDF manual but when the applications I'm trying to use the controller with takes up the full screen keeping a PDF open for reference is a pain... and I prefer printed manuals. All the movable parts ... Read More

- Top notch
This controller is solidly built, and its small size and usb power make it ideal to carry around.I travel all over with it and the only problem I've had is the warped screen that I got from leaving it in direct sunlight inside my car on a hot summer day.The keys are thick, heavy and easy to play.The pads aren't great, but I don't use them much. In Reason 4, FL Studio 8 and Linux it works perfectly.In the unlikely event one of my Axioms breaks, I'll buy another.I've already got 2. :)
Rating: - Low-budget awesome controller
This keyboard works fine for me. I'm not a sound engineer, just a home studio hobbyist. I use Pro Tools LE to do most of my recordings. I also program MIDI parts on that software using the pencil (note by note!). So I decided to get a controller keyboard to facilitate the job. The semi weighted keys let you program different velocities when playing creating a more interesting and human effect (especially on cymbals)
Difficult to program? I don't think so. I downloaded the Enigma software ... Read More

Control buttons are difficult to assign and no printed manual. At this point I regret buying this product and will never recommend it.
