Product Information


Melodic performance in the palm of your hand.

The Akai LPK25 Laptop Performance Keyboard is a USB-MIDI controller for musicians, producers, DJs and other music creators. The keyboard measures less than 13" across and weighs less than a pound, so it fits easily into your laptop case, backpack, or messenger bag for extreme portability.

Keyboard players who want to work with software on their computer will find that the Akai LPK25 gives their laptop the keys they need to express themselves anywhere. The LPK25 is a scaled-down relative to the Akai MPK series of keyboard performance controllers. The diminutive keyboard is made up of 25 miniature, velocity-sensitive keyboard keys with synth action.

The Akai LPK25 Performance Keyboard contains an arpeggiator, which steps through chords automatically, assisting musicians with creating quick melodic ideas. Sustain, octave up and down, and tap tempo controls round out the Akai LPK25 keyboard controller's easy-to-learn layout.

The Akai LPDK25 offers plug-and-play with Mac and PC computers and requires no software driver installation or wall power for operation. The LPK25 Laptop Performance Keyboard has 4 memory banks for programming and recalling settings appropriate to the software programs you use.

Light... Portable... Konvenient

Keyboardists with tight workspaces, laptop musicians about town, your search is over. I felt compelled to write a comparison review because I have owned both the KORG nanokey, and AKAI LPK25. I bought the nano right when it came out, excited to have such a backpack friendly controller. For the price, I felt like I got my money's worth. It was inexpensive, tiny, easy to configure, and not without its dinky charm. It was, however, impossible to play like a keyboard. If you don't understand what I mean, imagine your laptop spacebar turned 90 degrees. Now tap it with any finger. This is the EXACT feel of the nanokey "buttons". They are in fact velocity sensitive, but the finger motion required to play them is more like tapping than anything else. Enter the LPK25, a few bucks more, a thousand times better. Sorry for the lengthy intro. You can't truly appreciate this product without understanding what AKAI's higher price gets you that KORG fails to deliver: a professional grade instrument. The keys are miniature without feeling "nano" tiny, and the action is indescribable. The keys do not wiggle; they do not click. They're springy yet spongy, and infinitely more playable than those of my former on-the-go controller. Regarding playability (the P does stand for performance after all), one of the sturdy rubber buttons is a sustain "pedal"! What a neat feature! Above that, AKAI has equipped a built in arpeggiator which is extremely powerful and easy to use on the fly. Octave shifting is a breeze. If this thing had one more octave or so of keys, I would use it as my exclusive keyboard controller and use the Axiom 49 for mixing and drum pads only - the keys on the LPK are just that good. Nevertheless, I do have a short wishlist. A modwheel and pitch bend or button (as on the nano) would have been nice. The ONLY other nanokey feature that I'll miss is the variable intensity on the octave shift LEDs. The down glows brighter the further down you shift, and vice versa, reminding you where you are in the full 88. If you know you want something LIKE this, stop shopping and know you have found it.

One word Solid.

The LPK25 is an essential for the producer on the go. i have only had this thing for a few hours and i can already tell that this is going to be in use at home and any where else i decide to go. Im sure alot of peoples main concern is the keys and i must say they fell nice. if you have ever play around with a micro korg and liked it then you will also love these keys. one of the nicer features of this slab is the sustain and arp buttons. check this thing out.
