Pocket Piano 2 keyboard - NAMM -Smallest desk footprint?

I tried it and didn't find the action to be very nice (the keys are like half height which is odd). Seems like they are marketing it more for the portability. Not sure if I would want to use it everyday in the studio.
 
Saw it, tried it, yes the keys are super-shallow and there's no PB+ModWheel, but it feels surprisingly decent. Also it has an internal sound engine with 6x sample sets from Ivory plus some pad sounds, so it's not just a controller. But for anyone who's accustomed to luxurious hammer-action keys, this ain't gonna satisfy. It does have a 5-hour battery though, so between that and the portability and the built-in sounds, looks pretty cool for buskers.

At $1,299 it's way more $$ than similar skinny controllers, but it is definitely the most low-profile, shallow, and absolutely minimalistic keyboard I've seen.
 
Lie, none of the parts of this piano hold in a pocket! :laugh:
However, the pianist is a killer (the bassist and the drummer also obviously).
 
As someone who travels a fair bit and is often stuck in a hotel, I spent ages looking around for something that would work for me.

In the end I bought a Yamaha CK61 and that has been pretty good choice for me. I'd definitely like to try one of these out though....

I am planning a new desk. And probably give that one a try. No need to build a second doepfer lmk desk. I like the footprint especially.
