I have a Novation LaunchKey Mini mk3. I like the size and the Ableton integration with the pads, but the keybed is just atrocious and I essentially never use it. Feels like spongy bendy plastic sticks (which is what it is). I had an Arturia MiniLab mk2 for a while and like the feel much more. (I ended up returning it because it didn't integrate with Reason well, which is what I was using at the time.) I also have a Novation LaunchPad Mini mk3 which I quite like for triggering clips and automation. I haven't tried using it for actual note playing. I've been interested in the XKey. Does it feel like playing an actual synth-action piano keyboard, or is it more like a piano-shaped Mac keyboard?
