I'm hooking it up to FL studio and using the sliders to control omnisphere. It's really really awesome. The keys feel wonderful I came from $100 Yamaha so these are really nice I don't like the heavy keys because I can't play fast techno sounds so this is perfect.There's so much to it that I haven't learned yet but all I wanted was a simple MIDI controller with 88 keys so I can play some dynamic songs...I currently have it hooked up to my laptop which is on the wall eventually I'm going to get some good speakers to output some sound to and I can make it portable. ### ⭐ BAD PURCHASING EXPERIENCE *by on Reviewed in the United States May 23, 2026* HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! WAS DEFECTIVE ON ARRIVAL. WAS NOT PLAYING KEYS CORRECTLY. WAS PACKED IN A FLIMSY BOX THAT WAS COMING APART. HAD TO FIND MY OWN BOX TO RETURN IT AND SPENT AN HOUR REPACKING IT. ### ⭐⭐ Need for it to play without computer. *by on Reviewed in the United States June 7, 2025* Doesn't explain that you need a computer to play it. Spent hours trying to figure out. Called support, she didn't know either. ## Frequently Bought Together - Arturia KeyLab Essential 88 mk3 — 88 key USB MIDI Controller Keyboard with Analog Lab V Software Included, Black - M-Audio SP-2 - Universal Sustain Pedal with Piano Style Action For MIDI Keyboards, Digital Pianos & More - RockJam Xfinity Heavy-Duty, Double-X, Pre-Assembled, Infinitely Adjustable Piano Keyboard Stand with Locking Straps, Black --- ## 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/616244427-arturia-keylab-essential-88-mk3-88-key-usb-midi-controller](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/616244427-arturia-keylab-essential-88-mk3-88-key-usb-midi-controller) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-07-12*
