    For someone just wanting to connect to iOS and not desiring a lot of normal midi features I think it’ll do. I’ve looked at a bunch of other keyboards and there are other that have way more features but this one just seems very simple which is what’s most appealing

    Looks like a fun keyboard that sits somewhere in the between the Komplete Kontrol M32 and Komplete Kontrol A49.

    Thanks for the review! I like you reviews because you always talk about key bed. And you do it from the pianist perspective. Nobody else talk about key bed nowadays :) all they need are encoders and buttons. I have iRig Keys Pro (the 1st one, original). And I like it a lot because key bed are not stiff. I wonder is it worth upgrading to this. The lack of audio jack on iPhones I counter with Puck+.

      Well from a pianist perspective I guess it's actually should be better to get more stiff keys, cause they would feel more similar to real piano keys than this synthesizer types one.

    Liked before even watching! Your videos are so very valuable! Not only mentioning the specs but also talking about the keybed from a pianist's perspective.
    I ordered the Novation Launchkey 61 after your review of the 49 key version. I was originally looking at the Komplete Kontrol a61 but changed my mind after your review. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!

    Have you reviewed the iRig Keys I/O or have any experiance with it that you can share? I really like your reviews. I have seen maybe one honest review on the I/0 but nothing comparing it to other midi keyboards. You have already reviewed a few other controllers I have been interested in and I would like to see how it stacks up. The key bed and portability of the 49 key version seems to be the best option at that price point, but what do I know lol. I bought the irig keys 2 Pro, and like you, feel like I need 49 keys to be able to play it the way I want to. I currently own a Yamaha GDX670 which I love but its definitely not portable so I am looking for something portable to play with. I wish more manufactures would put the pitch and mod wheel above the keys to cut down on the overall lengths of the keyboards. The I/0 49 is only about 3 inches longer than the keys 2 pro which is perfect in my opinion. I wonder if they will come out with a new "I/O 2" version and go usb-c, effectively ditching the proprietary cable that everyone is annoyed with. Honestly that is the only thing that has me on the fence about buying it I also got the keys 2 pro for only $100 so I am hesitant about returning it because it is a nice option at that price for sure.

    Great review, John! Just picked one up on the strength of your review - just what I'm looking for - and I have a tip; if you have the Apple camera connection kit you can connect the iRig to the iPad using the supplied mini-USB cable, with the CCK, and power your iPad at the same time.

      It’s pretty cool…the main thing that sets this apart is the fact that it has a built in audio interface…so you don’t need any extra way to get sound out of your device…personally I would go with something with a few more keys like an m-audio oxygen

    Hi John, thx for a great review! I was looking at the specs and input/outputs of the device and I was wondering about the following: As far as I understand, the iRig Keys 2 Pro gets the power from the connected iPad/iPhone. How would you then prevent that iPad/iPhone from running out of battery in a live situation? Can you somehow connect an external power source? Thx, Harry

    If you are not using it for IOS like ipad or iphone DO NOT buy!! has no transport keys, it does not stay connected (have to unplugg and replugg the small android cable tip which are very well known to loosen over time or just effin break. For around mid 135 there's way more options. I guess they thought since it uses with apple they can jack the price for something made so bad. One thing I would give is that it does feel premium.
