The MX Keys Mini will allow you to make music while on the move. This keyboard with ten keys was designed in response to requests for smaller versions of the popular MX Keys.

Size
Keyboards and synthesizers come in a variety of key sizes. There are "mini" and "slim" key sizes and full-size keys. Each key has a unique design and feel. But what's crucial is the total package, not how many keys there are or if they're full-size or mini.
For instance, there's the Casio SA 51, which offers 100 sounds and 50 rhythms yet is smaller than other models. It's also portable and is a great practice instrument. In mini cooper keys , the MicroKorg XL has smaller arrow keys, but more space, keys for right shift and enter. It is all dependent on your needs and how important portability is to you.

The layout of the MX Keys Mini is still good, despite the fact that it has shed a lot of keys to fit in its 65% space. The cursor jets have been squished into a double stack laptop-style and the function row has been narrowed in order to accommodate the delete button. The only real downsides are the absence of a Touch ID finger print scanner and the Back button which is the one that turns on the backlight. This could be distracting when you're typing in the dark.
