Cheers! (tested on ubuntu 20.04) It would be awesome if it can be lighter and slimmer for taking out. The USB port can be shaken slightly, a little worry its robustness. Considering to buy one more, but it has out-of-stock... Wonder know does this mean some successor model is going to come out?! If so, I'm looking forward to it! Review: Works Well! One Small Issue - The keyboard works as intended and it’s perfectly simple for my needs, but the D key on the upper octave doesn’t press and hold. The key will play when pressed, but the note will not continue if held (slightly frustrating but a minor issue) ## Features - MIDI keyboard controller ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005WKK3XM | | Best Sellers Rank | #31,824 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #193 in Portable & Arranger Keyboards | | Color Name | white | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Connector Type | USB | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (89) | | Date First Available | October 17, 2011 | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware Platform | PC/Mac | | Instrument Key | Any | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 2.07 pounds | | Item model number | ZM-10000520 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Musical Style | Electronic | | Number of Keyboard Keys | 37 | | Size | Einheitsgröße | | Supported Software | Magix Samplitude Silver 11 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Miditech - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Model Name:** Miditech Keyboard Garagekey Mini - **Number of Keys:** 37 ## Images ![Garagekey mini - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oChFCc7UL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is usb cable included?

One Small Issue *by K***Y on December 19, 2023* The keyboard works as intended and it’s perfectly simple for my needs, but the D key on the upper octave doesn’t press and hold. The key will play when pressed, but the note will not continue if held (slightly frustrating but a minor issue) ### ⭐⭐⭐ Quality fine, but no independent sound *by R***L on November 26, 2025* Quality is fine, keys are fine, it works with MIDI, but it does not produce sound by it's own. That's only reason I returned it. --- ## 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.za/products/16604584-garagekey-mini](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/16604584-garagekey-mini) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
