If that's the MacMice keyboard: It's ****.


I'm one of several musicians who work at the Mac store, and we've all independently reached the same conclusion within fifteen seconds of laying hands on the thing.

if this was done by a company with higher quality, I'd be all over it. The risers to fit a keyboard under, and the minimalist design is great.

The M-Audio stuff is fine.

This POS GarageKey has a REALLY nasty-feeling keyboard, NO controllers - not even a pitch bend - , no interfacing possibilities beyond the single USB port, and the octave-shift buttons (the only buttons on the thing) are on the back.

Add to that MacMice's reputation for quality hardware (one in three might possibly work), and you know why we have them lying around at the back of the store. None of us has sold one so far, and probably none of us will, even if a customer wants one.
