Great for the price

01.02.2017

I use this controller as a mixer and midi trigger for my daw, triggering multiple synths and also adjusting various parameters with it.

this little keyboard is great for th eprice and also the easy and quick integration with your daw (no drivers required )
me personally using ableton live

being lightweight it is very easy to carry around and usually fits within your average bag

overall would not change it with anything for my day to day daw needs !

Amazing

20.02.2017

I use the APC Keys 25 with Ableton Live (the device being designed for use with Ableton); everything is programed to work straight away though you can tweak everything you want.
The layout is cleverly designed, offers you the possibility to control Ableton without relying so much on the computer keyboard and mouse. The keyboard sensitivity could be better, but after a while you get used to it.
Considering the very low price tag, I would say it's one of the best things around, especially if you work with Ableton Live.
