About this product
The Novation LaunchPad Mini MK2 is a compact USB MIDI controller designed for Ableton Live and DJ applications.

Priced at $65, it is an affordable entry into MIDI performance.
Our take
The LaunchPad Mini MK2 is a fantastic little controller for live looping and clip launching. With Ableton Live Lite included, it's a great value at $65. The pads are responsive and velocity-sensitive, though they're smaller than the full-size LaunchPad. I use it for triggering samples and effects while DJing. The USB power and data setup keeps things simple. However, it lacks faders or knobs, so you'll need additional controls for mixing. Overall, it's a portable, fun tool for beatmakers.
