I was pleasantly surprised by the overall feel of this. It looks great, and although it's made of plastic it doesn't feel cheap. The keys have a synth action so don't expect semi-weighted quality but they feel good enough for the money. The sliders and endless encoders have a pleasing amount of resistance. One negative about the encoders is that on the default curve it takes almost 3 full turns to bring a parameter from 0 to 127, and when you adjust it to the fast setting it steps in increments of 4 so you lose very fine control. For this reason I prefer to use the sliders. The lit buttons are very bright. The octave buttons will flash constantly when you set the keyboard to a different octave, which I personally find quite annoying and distracting, and there's no way to turn them off. The drum pads don't have much travel but I like this, it makes finger drumming easier. In terms of DAW compatibility it's pretty good, but if you use FL Studio be prepared to fiddle around with the MIDI settings because by default the transport buttons will not work. If you use Ableton, Logic, Cubase etc you'll be fine. Overall it's a decent controller which I like using but because of the aforementioned quirks I give it 4/5.

I spent a lot of time researching 49 key controller keyboards and it was super difficult to pick one. In the end, the Arturia KeyLab 49 Essential came out as my choice and the price from Anderton's (with next day delivery) swung it. So far so good with the keyboard!
