These are what we consider to be the best budget MIDI keyboards.

Our aim is to help you find the best cheap MIDI keyboard for you.

If you arent yet familiar with Novation controllers, their Launchpad Launchkey range are very popular.

Included software: Ableton Live Lite, XLN Audio Addictive Keys, Novation Bass Station, and V Station virtual instruments and over 4GB of Loopmasters samples.

The Launchkey Mini feels well made for such a light controller.

I love that it has 16 pads but they could be more responsive at times.

It has 32 velocity sensitive keys and no drum pads, its a simple but effective controller.

You also get Xpand 2 from Air Music Tech which is a VST with some truly great sounds.

The buttons are freely assignable as is the master volume dial.

If you are more interested in keys than pads and other features then this is a good choice for you.

The quality of these sounds makes up for the lack of padsfeatures, a solid choice.

All of the buttonsknobspads illuminate to provide nice visual feedback.

This is something you dont tend to see in 25 key controllers.

Best Midi Keyboard Plus Have Managed

Midiplus have managed to add pitch bend and modulation wheels despite the compact size of the keyboard.

However, I do feel that the dedication to limited featuresfunctions should have provided higher quality.

Its not one of my top picks but still makes it into our best MIDI keyboard under 100 top 10.

It has 25 full-size keys, 8 velocity sensitive drum pads, assignable knobs, and a variety of transport buttons.

The LX25 also features very nice pitch bend and modulation wheels.

Bitwig 8-track is included which has 50 VSTs and effects along with a collection of loopssamples.

Nektar really has done a good job in not only including lots of functions but making sure they work well.

Slight improvements could be made with the keys and drum pads but Im nitpicking.
