Best MIDI Keyboard for Joint Issues (Easy to Press, but Great Velocity Control)

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a MIDI keyboard that’s easy on my fingers. I have long fingers. My last two fingers (pinky and ring) aren’t very strong or stable, they don't keep their position when I press keys using them so I need:

  1. Light, easy-to-press keys (low resistance, short travel).
  2. Great velocity sensitivity for subtle dynamic control.

What I’m Using It For:

  • EDM production as a hobby: I made tracks 10 years ago and want to dive back in.
  • Evening jams: Playing Analog Lab synths in Logic Pro, just for fun, need a good velicity control.
  • Improving hand positioning: Learning better technique to improve improvisation.

Keyboards I’m Considering:

Native Instruments S49 Mk2 250$ used

Arturia KeyLab Mk3/Mk2 (non-essential)

Keystep 32/37

Novation Launchkey Mk4 (not Mini)

Minilab

I currently have the Native Instruments M32, which is easy to press but feels a bit spongy. I also bought the KeyLab Essential, but reviews say it’s hard to press, so I’m thinking of returning it.

Unfortunately, I can’t try any keyboards in my city, so I’d love feedback from those who’ve used these models.

Thanks in advance!
