Take Your Music Making Mobile With the MX Keys Mini
The MX Keys Mini will allow you to create music on the go. 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 make working remotely easier during the Covid-19 Pandemic a dictation button, muted keys and an emoji keyboard.
Size
There are many different sizes of keys that can be found on synths and keyboards. There are "mini" and "slim" key sizes, as well as full-size keys. Each of these has a distinct shape and feel, but what's most important is the total package - not just how many keys are there and whether they are mini or full size.
For instance, there's the Casio SA 51, which comes with 100 sounds and 50 rhythms but is smaller than alternative models. This makes it easy to transport and makes an ideal instrument for practice. The MicroKorg XL also has smaller arrows, but larger space, right-shift and enter buttons. It depends on what you need and how important portability is to you.

The layout of the MX Keys Mini is still excellent, despite the fact that it has lost a lot of keys to fit into its 65% space. The cursor jets have been squeezed together to form two stacks, similar to laptops. the function row has been reduced to make room for a Delete button.
