Tiny USB MIDI keyboard

Eide · 23rd March 2008

How small can an USB midi keyboard get? I'm looking for a really tiny one to sit next to my laptop when I'm on the go. Even just one octave would be totally fine...

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I've got an M-Audio Axiom 25, 2 octaves, finger triggers, everything I need and good quality for under $2oo.

A friend uses one of these. Its USB and fits in his laptop bag when rolled up.

Those old Yamaha QY-series tone module/sequencers had a really tiny keyboard on them. It's really just a "sketchpad" type of thing, though.

The unit is about the size of a VHS tape, a little thicker but not quite as wide:

M-audio O2 is really tiny.

Bigger than the others mentioned but just FYI Korg has a couple small synths, about the size of a really large computer keyboard. The MicroKorg and the MicroX.
