The IK Multimedia iRig Keys Pro impresses with its lightweight, portable design and versatility across iOS and desktop platforms, offering all necessary connectors. The full-size keys are surprisingly playable, and it only activates when needed, conserving battery life. However, the lack of an onboard display and short cable length can be inconvenient, and the price may be steep for some. Despite these drawbacks, it fills a crucial niche for musicians seeking a comprehensive mobile and desktop MIDI solution.

IK Multimedia's iRig Keys Pro offers full-size keys and multi-platform compatibility, making it a versatile choice for musicians on the go. Its lightweight design and bundled connection cables for iOS and computers add to its convenience. While the absence of an onboard display and the short cable lengths may irk some users, the keyboard's playability and included software enhance its appeal. Despite being priced slightly high, its functionality across devices justifies the cost, delivering a solid and portable MIDI solution.

Not so useful anymore

It used to be useful to connect directly to my iPad 2. Not all controllers were able to connect to an iPad. Nowadays, it's much easier to connect to an iPad with the camera connector. It can't connect to sound modules via Midi, just to iPad via proprietary cable or to a computer via USB. Today, would buy a Key Step instead.

The best for beginner

When I bought this keyboard in the end of 2016, I finally feel the power of logicprox!As a piano player, I can't make melody and chords with mouse and computer keyboard! So everything start after I bought this, it's really benefit for beginner, and it also have different connection types, for iPhone/ipad & Mac. I can take it out easily with my MacBook Pro 13.3,and producing everywhere:)

"I got iRig Keys Pro a while ago and it has been an invaluable road companion ever since. But, now IK Multimedia has taken the portable studio/keyboard to another level. The iRig Keys I/O is my new favorite keyboard to travel with. It's packed with so many useful features including a full 4-octave keyboard and input for voice or guitar ideal for writing and recording while on the road with stereo quarter inch outputs ideal for use on stage. iRig Keys I/O is an amazing piece of kit! Just plug in to your laptop and you have very your own mobile studio!"
