We built the GarageKey simply because we love to play with Apple's wonderful GarageBand software, and, because there has just not been a small, elegantly designed MIDI keyboard available that matches nicely with Apple's product styling, and is small enough to actually put somewhere on most desks.

But, they just don't match up to the real needs of most Mac users who decide to begin experimenting with GarageBand.
The GarageKey USB-MIDI keyboard is the only keyboard on the market designed exclusively for use by Apple computer users desiring to have a small, elegantly styled keyboard for experimenting with Apple's popular GarageBand software. The GarageKey has 37 full-size, professional quality, velocity sensitive keys. It has octave up and down buttons discretely placed on the rear panel. And, it is plug and play compliant with OS X USB-MIDI. Its clear acrylic over bright white styling, and its bright white keys, are made to precisely match Apple's desktop styling.
If you have other music software besides GarageBand, for sequencing, recording, or notation, you will be pleased to know that the GarageKey is a fully class compliant MIDI controller that will work with any application that supports a USB-MIDI keyboard input.
