Some comments from people who come to the forum about this model:

Comment:

This 49 key MIDI controller is a very great choice for the purchase price. Essentially all you need to do is to adjust the sensitivity that is key your DAW and afterward it works perfectly. I make use of this equally for all my instrument plug-ins and it will handle anything. Altough the final materials are a little weak I have to say that in my own little home studio this might be among the best purchase all time.
If you might be beginner in composing digital music this could be a great thing to start with. Simply purchase a few decent VST Instruments and you will record anything you want.
Comes with USB cable.

Comment:

this controller is amazing for my requirements, has rotary controls so i can modify automation in realtime and a fader to do the exact same, the keys feel nice to try out as well as the pitch fold and modulation wheel feel sturdy. I dropped this as soon as and the fader broke off but thats become anticipated in the event that device is fallen by me personally, nevertheless a somewhat sturdier fader would have been nice.
