They are cool!
But they're reminding me "Bontempi", musical-toys stuff famous here in Italy!

Yes, and I believe this is why we haven't had any updates or additions to the Korg Legacy Collection – the software team is working on this crap.

Kind regards.

Easy now...

Some people actually want this type of stuff. I've been reducing the footprint of my composer setup to fit around a laptop and this nanoKey thingy is perfect. I just want to enter notes into soft-synths without carrying a full-size keyboard. This looks like it would fit in a laptop bag with no problem.

Korg follows the money and these days, it's in mobile gear. Great job.

I think the Nano Keys would be a great addition to any desktop computer setup as well -- say, for keyswitching samples in Kontakt, or quick auditioning of sounds.

I'm not crazy about the colors, though, which does make them look less respectable than if they were "pro-standard" silver and black.

They would be excellent for mobile/portable usage with a laptop, as well as desktop usage for quick inputting with minimal footprint. I think Korg have got something here.

They'd easily fit into a laptop bag.

The Nano Pad has caught my eye.

However, is the Nano Key touch/velocity responsive?

Very nice. Korg should do very well with these.

I can see them being very popular.

I stand (or sit, more accurately) corrected. It's still not something I'd ever consider. Guitar heroes.

I've had enough of them to last a lifetime...

Nevertheless, thanks for the correction and clarification.

Kind regards.
