Amazing MIDI keyboard

I bought this MIDI controller as my first one, and it has been amazing! I love the feel of the keys and the fantastic software package that comes with it. The knobs and faders feel great, and connecting it to my DAW has been a breeze. The build quality is impressive; although it is made of plastic, it feels premium with no rattling or shaking. You can enjoy a lot of functionality from all three ports, which include USB-C, a 6.33mm jack for a sustain pedal, and MIDI Out. My only complaint is that the drum pads are quite stiff; you need to hit them harder to get a decent sound out of them and use the transport controls..

Edit: The Minilab has held up for the past few months, while from time to time, there are Sync and control issues. It could be fixed easily by either updating the firmware of your DAW or the Minilab 3. I would still recommend you to purchase the Minilab 3 among other popular Options due to its software package, value for money, and general usability and connectivity.
