Well Korg has done it again. Another flimsy piece of shit.
It took about two extra minutes of playing after the video from last week was taken before 2 keys popped out.
As you can see, I’m not exactly bashing the keys, and still the keyboard couldn’t take it.
I guess the difference between my Nano and Jordan Rudess’ is that he can pull out another one out of his drawer.
Fortunately the Nano in my video was borrowed. I’m still looking for a tiny, no frills keyboard to plug in to my laptop. There’s something in the pipeline. Will let you know next week.
Until then here’s another deceiving video of the Nano’s durability.
Jordan over to you.

Dammit, this is just what I was worried about with the NanoKey...ever since seeing the official product images where you can see that the keys aren't aligned perfectly...
Do the keys easily pop back into place at least, or is it a catastrophic failure?
I want the black set of these Nano controllers so bad I'll probably get them all anyway and just not use the keyboard one much...how dumb is that?
Also why in the hell didn't they put a USB port on each of these and include short little cables so they could be daisy-chained? They would eat up all the USB ports on a laptop and having them running off an external hub seems to defeat the whole aesthetic of the cool little controllers, to me at least...
I'm very curious to learn what's in the pipeline since I'm actually in the market right now too... do you know of anything coming to market fairly soon?
Actually, I am a huge fan of Korg's Nanokeys, and can't quite understand the complaints above. As a composer who often travels, this is a wonderful and portable way to enter notes. It is tiny and light, and has a slick lights mechanism to let you know which octave you're in. It has given me no trouble at all. I have been waiting for years for someone to make one of these. Thank you, Korg.
ahaaaaaaa that was mental!
