This new mini OLED is much more responsive. On the S Series MK1, the LCD screens had a lot of delay between when your finger would hit a button and when the display would actually change to what it was supposed to display. The small screen is very quick and responsive. And while scrolling through presets, you can hear real-time audio previews. Instruments can be loaded right from the hardware. And integration with Komplete Kontrol's app or VST plugin is great. This means that using it with Ableton is a treat – I can control either session or arrangement view easily. Same DAW integration (Ableton, Logic, GarageBand, Maschine). The top half is exactly the same as an A Series keyboard. I might have to get a slightly bigger bag to carry this around in, but it's much more portable than the 25-key controllers NI has made.

The buttons are clicky, and the whole unit is very light while still giving the impression of durability.

Even though the keys are mini sized, they feel a lot nicer than a lot of similar sized controllers I've tried (such as the Akai LPK25). I like that's it's portable, I love the DAW control, but I hate that certain things from the S Series MK1 are missing that I was not expecting (like the big browser window and the speed of scrolling).
