The only missing feature for some maybe Pads. But for me playing those with keys also work. As my primary importance was for velocity sensitivity of the keys.

An OLED Display, Tag-Based Preset Browsing, Touch-Sensitive MIDI Controls and Smart Play Chord functionality make it one of the best MIDI Keyboards in its price range.
