Perfect for music-making when traveling. Small, thin, sturdy.

When combined with the Launchkey Mini Mk3 you can stay off the mouse quite well. Its not touch sensitive. The pads are super bright and let you know where you are at a glance. The 8x8 grid speeds up work flow. Tiny and well built like the Launchkey. Keep up the great work Novation and B&H!
