Oh, and with an average of one hour of use per day, the batteries allow approximately one month of operation. And best of all, the microKEY Air runs on just two AA batteries! Connect wirelessly to iPad, iPhone, Mac, or Windows The microKEY Air supports Bluetooth Smart “Apple Bluetooth Low Energy MIDI”. You can easily connect wirelessly to iPad/iPhone music apps such as KORG Gadget, KORG Module, and GarageBand, as well as any MIDI-capable music production software on your Mac or Windows. Painstaking tuning of the Bluetooth capabilities means high stability and low latency, no strings – or wires – attached.

The 37, 49, and 61-key models provide pitch bend and modulation wheels. Bluetooth MIDI Connect for Mac The dedicated utility "Bluetooth MIDI Connect for Mac" allows fast and simple wireless connection between your Mac and KORG Bluetooth enabled keyboard (such as the nanoSTUDIO series and microKEY Air). Bluetooth MIDI Connect for iOS "Bluetooth MIDI Connect" allows you to wirelessly connect your iPhone/iPad and KORG Bluetooth enabled keyboard (such as the nanoSTUDIO series and microKEY Air) even when using an app that does not support Bluetooth MIDI. This enables wireless connection for any app that supports Core MIDI. Technical Specifications Review: Well-Built and awesome! - This micro key air is the best-built, feature-filled portable controller I've ever used! It's a little bigger than I was expecting, but the keys have good action, it's built solid, and the joystick is nicer than the one on my workstation! The main selling point for me was the Bluetooth capability. I needed a portable keyboard to use with my Korg Gadget software (running on my iPhone) and this pairs instantly and there's almost zero latency. Unexpectedly, the micro key air also comes with a usb cord and can be used as a portable keyboard for my laptop DAW. I'd definitely recommend this, and am considering buying a few more for Christmas gifts. Pros: Great responsive keys Well-built joystick More sturdy build than many other options Connects to Bluetooth quickly Can be used as a tethered usb controller Cons: Slightly bigger than expected; is an inch too wide for my laptop bag (when also carrying my laptop and charger). Review: Amazing little keyboard!!! - It’s perfect for travel, it’s very lightweight and fits perfectly in my backpack. I use it mostly to write scores on my iPad using Dórico. For that type of use, the two octave size is enough. If you want to use for recordings and want to play with both hands I suggest a larger version with 3 or 4 octaves. But if you are recording a single line with one hand and want something more portable it works great. The key size is small and narrow but it’s just wide enough to fit my big hands without pressing two notes at the same time. The weight of the keys is good. They don’t feel flimsy like other portable keyboards and are silent when pressed and released (unless of course you slam your fingers on them) but under normal circumstances they are silent. With the Bluetooth MIDI Connect app by Korg connecting the keyboard to my iPad and MacBook Pro is a breeze, just open the app turn on the micro key air and select it on the app. After you’ve done that the first time you don’t even have to open the app you just turn on the keyboard and automatically connects. You do have to download the app to connect it, because the midi keyboard won’t appear under the normal Bluetooth settings. In terms of latency, I haven’t noticed any. Considering the good build quality and portability, I find it to be a good value for the money and I highly recommend it. ## Features - Bus-powered 25-key USB/Bluetooth Keyboard Controller with Mod/Pitch Joystick - Class-compliant ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B018ATKGAG | | Additional Features | Compact, Keyboard Controller | | Best Sellers Rank | #14,834 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #62 in Computer Recording MIDI Controllers | | Brand | KORG | | Brand Name | KORG | | Color | MultiColored | | Compatible Devices | Smartphone, Tablet | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connector Type | USB | | Control Method | App | | Control Type | High-level software controls | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,193 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04959112145948 | | Hardware Interface | USB 2.0 | | Hardware Platform | PC/Mac | | Human Interface Input | Keyboard | | Instrument | Keyboard | | Instrument Key | C | | Item Type Name | Midi Controller | | Item Weight | 0.77 Kilograms | | Keyboard Description | Ergonomic | | Manufacturer | Korg | | Manufacturer Part Number | MKEYAIR25 | | Model Number | MKEYAIR25 | | Model Year | 2015 | | Noise Control | None | | Number of Keys | 25 | | Platform | Mac, Windows | | Product Style | microKEY air 25 | | Special Feature | Compact, Keyboard Controller | | Supported Software | Propellerhead's Reason | | Total USB 2.0 Ports | 1 | | Total USB Ports | 1 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KORG - **Color:** MultiColored - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Number of Keys:** 25 - **Special Feature:** Compact, Keyboard Controller ## Images ![MicroKEY Air 25 - Key Bluetooth & USB MIDI Controller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MTbQs+rYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well-Built and awesome! *by A***E on December 21, 2024* This micro key air is the best-built, feature-filled portable controller I've ever used!

The keys are smartly compressed to fit 3 octaves (37), and the touch is smooth and precise in registering velocity values. They are not weighted, which is preferable when programming midi (unlike when playing classical piano) - some confuse this for being cheap feeling, but its actually pretty good for non-weighted keys. The Big Problem is that the bluetooth driver is not compatible with current Windows 10/11 updates (instant disconnect, and a range of only a few inches on my two Windows PCs, while other bluetooth devices work fine). I tested on two different MicroKey Air 37s to confirm this. Windows does not include native midi-over-bluetooth support, and it is up to manufacturers to support it via custom drivers. Korg has not bothered to fix drivers when OS updates break them. On the MicroKey Air page, Korg states that the bluetooth driver is compatible with Windows 8.1 and above, but this is simply not the case (and is also problematic with Apple updates, as I have read). I would suggest getting the MicroKey2 instead of the Air - it's the exact same keyboard, but without bluetooth, and a lot cheaper. The reality is that midi bluetooth simply does not work reliably on any OS (for very long), and Korg does not seem to show the dedication required to maintain bluetooth driver compatibility in a timely fashion. ## Frequently Bought Together - Korg, 25-Key Midi Controller (MKEYAIR25) - Mellbree MIDI Cable, 2-Pack 1-Feet Male to Male 5-Pin MIDI Cable Compatible with MIDI Keyboard, Keyboard Synth, Rack Synth, Sampler, External Sound Card, Sound Source and Other Music Gear - Cable Matters 2-Pack 5 Pin DIN MIDI Cable, 5 Pin MIDI Cable - 6 Feet --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/24079172-microkey-air-25-key-bluetooth-and-usb-midi-controller](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/24079172-microkey-air-25-key-bluetooth-and-usb-midi-controller) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
