Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Great concept, poor execution.
For the price, I was happy with the quality of construction.

No where in the product specifications does Creative claim that it'll work with Windows Vista or MacOS X, and it certainly doesn't work with either; but it's almost 2009! They need to get their act together and write drivers for modern operating systems. (Most PC manufacturers aren't even shipping computers with XP anymore!)

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome Little Tool
Just what it says it is, great little midi keyboard and excellent typing keyboard. Well worth the money.
