Novation Launchkey 88 MK4 DAW Controller Keyboard

Launchkey MK4 is Novation's current DAW controller keyboard line, spanning seven sizes from a Mini 25 up to a full 88-key build. Every size shares the same semi-weighted, waterfall-style keys, 16 RGB-backlit pads built on Novation's force-sensitive-resistor (FSR) technology for consistent velocity response and polyphonic aftertouch in supported DAWs, and a new OLED screen that shows chord names, scale info, and key parameters instead of a blank LCD.

The 49, 61, and 88-key models add eight continuous encoders and nine faders for full mixer control, along with keybed split and layer modes for playing two instruments at once; the compact 25/37 and Mini sizes carry the same pad grid and encoder set in a smaller footprint. Two of the mid sizes (61 and 49) and the Mini 37 are also available in a white finish alongside the standard black. All sizes connect class-compliant over USB and work with Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason, FL Studio, and other major DAWs.
