7 Practical Tips For Making The Greatest Use Of Your Mini Replacement Key Fob
Take Your Music Making Mobile With the MX Keys Mini
If you're looking to carry your mobile music device with you, the MX Keys Mini is worth exploring. This tenkeyless keyboard was designed in response to requests for a smaller version of the popular MX Keys.
It is equipped with three functions to help you work remotely during the Covid-19 pandemic: a dictation button, muted keys and an emoji keyboard.
Size
There are a number of different sizes of keys that can be found on synths and keyboards. They include "mini" keys, a variety of "slim" keys, and full-size keys. Each one has a distinct shape and feel, but what's most important is the whole package - not only the number of keys and if they're mini or full size.
For example, there is the Casio SA 51, which has a total of 100 sounds and 50 rhythms but remains smaller in size than alternative models. It's also portable and is a great practice instrument. Similar to the MicroKorg XL has smaller arrow keys but larger space, enter and right shift buttons. So it depends on what you need from your keyboard and the degree to which portability is important.
Sound
Full-size keys. "Slim" keys. "Mini" keys. They all have distinct meanings, and this could have a significant effect on how the keyboard feels. To help you evaluate the different sizes of keyboards, we've created this handy chart that compares the size of keys.
In this category, our pick is the iRig Keys Mini. It's a great option for musicians who are on the move or anyone looking to practice at home, at work or wherever you want to work. The keyboard is light and portable, using Bluetooth wireless technology to connect to your mobile device. It also comes with a set of accessories that include an sustain pedal to provide more expression.
This model has 500 onboard sound effects of professional quality and a loop mixing function. You can use it for creating your own music as well as a controller software for other hardware synthesizers and DAWs. The keyboard is designed with simple functions for beginners.
It also comes with a USB keyboard receiver that connects to your computer or laptop, and allows you to plug in any compatible keyboard for hands-on control of your DAW with no latency. It comes with a range of essential music software including AAS Session Bundle and Softube Time & Tone. Also included is the exclusive Spitfire audio LABS Expression Strings instrument.
Functions
The MX Keys Mini is a compact keyboard that packs lots of features. It comes with dual keys for Mac and Windows so you don't need to be concerned if you switch between laptops at work and home (a usual practice when the coronavirus outbreak was in full force).
This keyboard also has a number of other handy features like an mute system button, which works across all your applications and software for conferencing. It also has a separate key for dictation as well as an emoji keyboard, which allows hands-free typing.
The layout of the MX Keys Mini is still great, despite the fact that it has shed a lot of keys to fit in its 65% space. The cursor jets are squished together to form the shape of a laptop double stack and the function row has been slightly reduced to make room for the Delete button. The only downsides are the absence of a Touch ID finger print scanner as well as the Back button which activates the backlight. This could be distracting when you're typing in the dark.
Portability
If you're looking for a mini keyboard that you can compose music on and carry around, choose one that is small enough to fit comfortably in your bag or backpack. It should also have some useful functions that can allow you to record your musical ideas when inspiration strikes you on the go.
If your mini-keyboard has been exposed to water, you must remove the battery immediately and clean it with a paper towel. After drying it completely then replace the battery. If the key fob doesn't work after this, it might have been reset and require an original replacement key to reset the device.

For instance, you could pair it with tablet, laptop or desktop PC to take notes, and then switch to another device, such as your smartphone to compose or editing, as well as posting to social media.
