RockJam 25-Key Rechargeable USB MIDI Keyboard Controller – Mini Piano Keyboard with Velocity-Sensitive Pads, Synth Controller, Bluetooth/Wired MIDI, Arpeggiator, DAW Compatible

Can't fault the price for starters but it's a solid little keyboard and will work with just about any midi capable app or DAW... I'm using Android equipment only at the moment and this wee keyboard was a very welcome addition! Initially I thought it was no good, due to it dropping the MIDI connection over Bluetooth very often... The manual is perhaps not the best but it does state it somewhere in there. My "D'oh" moment came and went and no issues since, once I remembered to switch on GPS (Location) on my phones & tablet when using it over Bluetooth! On the other hand I found that once I attached a separately purchased small OTG USB to USB-C adapter to the supplied USB cable, I can both charge and use the USB cable for Hardwired MIDI without any issues! Again, that extra bit of kit wouldn't be necessary unless you use stuff like DAWs etc. on Android based hardware... So I'm a very happy camper!

Yes there are better controllers but the keyboard works well enough and is not rattlely or spongey. I've not tried using it to control parameters but then that's not my thing.

Bought this as a bit of an experiment to run with my Akai force. As soon as I switched it on it displayed as a bluetooth device, and I could connect right away! Starting with limitations - the manual is very brief and doesn't appear to cover syncing to an external midi clock over bluetooth, despite my Akai Force sending this no problems over wired connections. the toggle is highly sensitive, and the endless encoders not sensitive enough. Unfortunately after mapping drums to the pads, I found these cannot be looped on-board either. I would have also liked it to take an expression pedal as well of or rather than sustain. The midi out being a 3.5mm jack means I also need to figure that out rather than sticking with the more user friendly 5-pin. That being said, this thing is an absolute asset to my setup for the price. Fully portable, the touch sensitive keys have natural volume, the on-board arpeggiator with octaves is greate for adding layers (assuming I can set the correct BPM first) and standalone, the on-board loop function is a very nice touch and very intuitive. Coding the pads was simple, as was resetting them back to their original values. I will certainly have some fun with this device!

I bought this keyboard to replace my AKAI mini with Bluetooth, since I use my ports and I don't want a crazy dongle. It's functionally the same as the AKAI providing you don't want a load of free software and nobody uses the arpeggiator do they? Anyway the keys are better feeling, I didn't like the AKAI keys at all. SETUP I got caught out at first, DO NOT use the traditional Bluetooth hookup on Mac. Search in Logic Help for Bluetooth MIDI and follow the instructions. It's simple and straightforward. What can I say, other than it's exactly what I wanted and works a treat. Half the price of an AKAI without the nasty USB-B printer socket. This baby is USB-C rechargeable, plus the colour complements a space grey MacBook nicely.

Great bit of kit at the £22.xx that I paid. NOT worth the current £54. It is not a professional quality device but is a useful addition to my home setup. The keys are a bit too heavy and springy and the buttons and case are bit plastic-y. I've hardly used it so far. I bought 2 others for my grandkids. Loads of appegiator and octave etc features. Only seems to work on midi channel 1 so beware! Teams well with Behringer JT4000 mini synth.

Bought it to pair with a portable MPC workstation. Two bits of gear with totally no wires, using MIDI over Bluetooth, and both go in a backpack. Perfect

For the price this does exactly what I required it for, an inexpensive keyboard that I can hook up to my phone to pair up with Cubasis. Whilst Bluetooth functionality won't work with Cubasis mobile (not the fault of Rockjam I think, Bluetooth is just not supported) it works perfectly with a wired connection into the phone. Quality is okay, you shouldn't expect bleeding edge performance at this price point. It does what it says it does and I'm happy enough with that. Recommended for the budget conscious who just wants something unfussy that does the job.

We have given these a good testing and the sound from this little machine is good. It's not the best in the world but for the price it's more than you would expect. Keys are reponsive and you can use it mobile. The bt is good with no delay. All in all a good buy

I paid $45 for this Bluetooth 25 key midi keyboard. It feels cheap, the keybed is nothing special, typical spongy feeling, and the keys are closer to full sized compared to most of my other “mini key” keyboards (update: the keys are the same size as my Arturia Keystep’s (but don’t feel the same) so let’s call them “average mini keys” but larger than say a Roland JD-Xi keys). The TFT display is totally adequate. It connected via Bluetooth to my iPad without much trouble and I can hear virtually no latency. The joystick isn’t as bad as I thought it would be, it recenters itself. The knobs are endless encoders, and, yes, also adequate. I’ve felt better pads, but again, this was $45. It has a non-replaceable rechargeable battery, I heard that lasts 4 hours, which could be better, but…it’s the cheap aspect. It does everything it is supposed to do, no less, no more. I wanted maybe something a little smaller, as this is my travel midi keyboard, but there aren’t many keyboards out there that has Bluetooth at this price point. The RockJam is wider than my iPad, I wanted something about the same size as my iPad, which is just my preference. So…. 5 stars if you get this for $45. Maybe 4 stars if you had to pay more. I am suffering from the delusion that I want nice things, I just don’t want to pay for them. This is nice enough. You can get something better by spending twice as much. But should you?

Works well but it took me a while to find the third-party apps that allowed it to be seen by my Windows based DAW. It does not come with any drivers but is auto-detected via bluetooth as a regular audio headset (not a midi device) Both the "LoopMidi" and Microsoft store "BLE-MIDI Connect" apps are needed in order for your DAW to recognize it as a midi controller. Shame on the company for not providing a driver.
