I have Cubase Pro at home, but would like to compose ideas while traveling or playing poker at a casino in Vegas. My setup needs to be small, so Bluetooth and power considerations are essential.

Can anyone recommend a good micro keyboard? Bluetooth would be best for my iPad(A16), but I would already be using Airpods too, so hopefully it wouldn’t cause any latency.

My possibilities:

  • Akai MPK Mini 4:
  • Arturia MINILAB 3:
  • MVAVE SMK II:
  • Korg nanoKEY Studio MIDI Controller:

This is just a short list.

Thanks!

My vote goes to Novation LaunchKey 25 Mini Mk4…
…with the Cubasis’s built-in HUI support close to zero mapping is needed.

One thing to keep in mind (it’s even mentioned over at Novation support) is that assistive touch needs to be enabled if the on-screen keyboard needs to be used as the Mk4 controllers can also transmit key-strokes that can potentially hijack the iOS/iPadOS on-screen keyboard…
