    keys a little hard but works and looks pretty cool

    ive had the keyboard for a couple of weeks and its built pretty solidly and funtions properly. the keys have to be pressed a little hard but not really a big deal. the software it comes with is mediocre because you cant record on it (as for as i can tell) but it has a lot of instruments that come with it

    Great value in my opinion

    Purchased as an open box special. Wanted a midi controller versus a regular keyboard due to a midi's versatility. I think, for the price, it is well-built with the features you would want in a keyboard midi controller. The included software is worth, by itself, about two-thirds the price of the Samson Carbon. I got the iPad adapter and it works flawlessly with my Samson Carbon and the iOS midi software. My pre-purchase research found the manufacturer's online support to be rather weak. This was confirmed by their response to my email asking for support in getting the included Native Instruments midi software to work with my Samson Carbon in Windows 8. I WAS able to get it to work via a web search into the problem (bottom line: it was, as suspected, a driver issue that was fixed by changing the driver to another one which was already included with Windows 8). In short, I am very pleased. I knew what I wanted after doing my research. My Samson Carbon fulfills my needs and it is a wonderful musical instrument.

    Good Value

    Good value, easy to use with easy instructions and free software online. The keys do stick a bit but otherwise worth it for the price!

    Awesome starter keyboard

    I upgraded to this from an Axiom 25 and I am impressed by the quality. Keys are very responsive I really have no complaints. The cable included is a little short and I had to use and extension but thats not a huge problem really. I would buy again!
