Start with the keys and desk footprint

The list spans 25 mini-key layouts through 49 full-size or semi-weighted designs, so playing range and available desk width should be decided together. [2] [5] [8] [11] [14] [17] [20] [23] [26] [29]

Choose the controls you will actually use

Pads, encoders, faders, chord modes, arpeggiators, and transport controls vary widely. More controls are useful only when they match the intended DAW or hardware workflow. [1] [4] [7] [10] [13] [16] [19] [22] [25] [28]

Check the entire connection path

USB is common, while 5-pin MIDI, pedal, CV/Gate, adapter, driver, and DAW-integration requirements differ. Verify the exact computer and external gear before choosing. [3] [6] [9] [12] [15] [18] [21] [24] [27] [30]
