So, rather than guess at the answer to your question, I just checked the M-Audio website. Their description says that the Keystation 49 MK3 has a synth action. That type of action, typically, is a lighter spring feel than the semi-weighted feel. I actually liked the feel,of the 88 II. I owned two of them. One lasted four years. The second unit only one and a half years. I take particularly good care of my equipment. And don’t pound on the keys. However, they both failed far too soon, in my opinion. I have switched to the Nektar brand. Only time will tell about their durability. Good luck with your choice. **Q: does the midi software (velvet, xpand, and mini grand) work as plugins with Ableton 9? As a vst? or are they stand alone?** A: They should work both ways **Q: Anybody having issues with sticking keys?** A: Hi, M-Audio support here! The keybed featured on our Keystation 61 MK3 provides a natural feel that captures every subtle nuance of your performance. **Q: Will this work with Mainstage?** A: Hi, M-Audio support here! Yes, Keystation 61 MK3 is compatible with Mainstage! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by ビ***ン on April 30, 2025* DTMの打ち込みとちょっとしたピアノ練習用に購入しました。 ピアノタッチではないですが、重みのある鍵盤です。 価格も安いですし、自分の用途としては充分満足です。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***B on February 6, 2026* ミニサイズを買いましたが、普通に弾けなくてお蔵入りになりそうです。 鍵盤は通常サイズを買うべきと学びました。 ちなみに商品自体は高品質でしっかりとDAW（cubase14）にも接続できました。鍵タッチも軽すぎず、ほど良い感じです。ですがこれが小さい鍵盤のため、小さい鍵盤に少し力を入れなくてはならない、というのが演奏を難しくしてしまっている気がします。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by 丸***ね on December 24, 2025* 使いやすいです。ベロシティ対応なのがいいです。一年程使用していますが未だに健在です。 ＊たまにボタンが押しっぱなし状態になりますが、許容範囲の不良です。 ## Frequently Bought Together - M-Audio Keystation 49 MK3 - Synth Action 49 Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller with Assignable Controls, Pitch and Mod Wheels, and Software Included - M-Audio SP-2 - Universal Sustain Pedal with Piano Style Action For MIDI Keyboards, Digital Pianos & More - Ancable 6-Feet USB B MIDI Cable for Instruments, USB 2.1 Type A to Type B Printer Cable Cord Compatible with Piano, Midi Controller, Midi Keyboard, Audio Interface Recording, USB Microphone and More --- ## 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/735896870-m-audio-usb-midi-keyboard-velocity-support-49-keys-daw](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/735896870-m-audio-usb-midi-keyboard-velocity-support-49-keys-daw) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-29*
