Review: M-VAVE SMK-25 - I bought this because I wanted a battery powered wireless controller with bluetooth midi. Basically, something I can stuff in my backpack along with a few other battery powered synths/grooveboxes and have a nice small keyboard on the go. This was one of the few options I found and it is by far the smallest (unless you get into devices that don't have actual keybeds). Shockingly, it's also one of the lowest cost. It is pretty powerful right off the bat, connecting immediately to my other bluetooth midi devices (CME adapters) with no effort. It worked immediately. I got a bit frustrated at first because the manual is terrible and there was no obvious way to switch MIDI channels -- I was stuck on channel 1. Well, I did some research online and found that there is a companion software "MidiSuite." The M-VAVE website doesn't support SSL (in the year 2024) so it looks sketchy as hell, but it's fine. And it's powerful. You can reconfigure every single aspect of the entire device. Every pad, knob, and button can be reconfigured in any way you want, on any midi channel you want. You can then store these configurations in 8 presets on the device, or any number more on your computer. So there you can see there's a potential issue. You could use 8 presets and set up 8 different MIDI channels if you just assign them all to the same channel. But then the other 8 you can't do anything with (if you need to). Well, if this was a more expensive controller, I'd be more upset, but it's cheap. So it's fine. So basically, if you think the configuration options are lacking, download the companion software, it will unlock a lot more. This is at its heard a bluetooth midi controller and it connects, as I stated earlier, effortlessly to other class compliant bluetooth midi devices. But you may want to use this controller in other ways. You can connect the USB to the computer (it has a USB 1.0/2.0 USB-B connector type -- the old "printer" connectors -- instead of a more modern USB-C, but whatever). When connected to the computer, it will act as any other MIDI device and can be easily routed into your DAW. It also has a way to use the footswitch jack as MIDI out. I don't completely understand how that works because, again, the manual is terrible. But I'm guessing it's similar to the 3.5mm MIDI standard, just coming out of a 1/4" jack size. So that would mean you'd need a 1/4" to 3.5mm (1/8") adapter, which are easy to come by. Again, I'm just guessing, I haven't tried it yet. Also, in this mode you lose the footswitch, but it does allow MIDI out without having to use wireless or USB. Hardware wise, the keybed is alright. Not the best, not the worst. Just fine for the price. Velocity sensitive (and you can configure curves and upper/lower limits in the software). The pads feel great and have velocity and aftertouch. The touchpad pitch and mod "wheels" feel terrific. They are perfectly sensitive and accurate. They feel just as good as my Arturia and ASM keyboard touchpads. The knobs are endless encoders, so there is no "jump" when you switch patches. They have a nice resistance so feel very precise when turning them. They send single CC steps unlike some other controllers that step in 2 (ahem Korg ahem). The transport buttons by default support MCP (as well as the second layer of pads), which was a bit of a surprise feature. I don't really use MCP anywhere, but I know others that do. You can control many DAW transport functions by mapping those. I remapped them all to MIDI notes or CCs in pushbutton/toggle mode. The display is just a 3 digit 7-segment display, like you see in a lot of Roland gear these days. Very little information is presented, but it does tell you at a glance which preset you are on, the current CC value, etc. Again, this thing is cheap so I can't complain. All in all, this thing is a beast for the price and rivals much more expensive options in some ways. But, don't expect it to do *everything* a more expensive controller would do, it is a low cost option and probably will never have a software or firmware update ever and the company might disappear in a couple years (or not, M-VAVE has lasted longer than a lot of others so far). All in all, glad I bought it. One last thing, the desertcart listing is wrong, the company name is M-VAVE, not M-WAVE.
Review: A solid wireless keyboard! - I'm very pleased with this unit. The controls feel good, it's solidly built enough that I can carry it around in my laptop case, wireless connectivity is great, and the ability to customize the pad colors and input settings via app is nice (though I had to watch a YouTube tutorial to realize that the keyboard has to be plugged in to use the app). Not inexpensive, but well worth it in my opinion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A solid wireless keyboard!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ M-VAVE SMC-PAD
*by G***N on January 17, 2026*

This review may be labeled M-VAVE 25 Key Keyboard Controller, but it is for the SMC-PAD device. I have just received my SMC-PAD deviced, and have turned it on and connected it via Bluetooth to my iPad. As usual with my other M-VAVE devices, I paired it using the Cube Suite iPad app, and it was recognized and paired immediately with no difficulty. Some demo videos, and the manufacturer's web site seem to be directing users to some other app, called MIDI SUITE, which I tried, and it does not seem to work. Cube Suite seems to be the correct app to use for any of the M-VAVE devices. Other than this, no problems connecting and using the SMC-PAD gadget. My only complaint about any of the M-VAVE devices is poor documentation. Everything I've learned about these things has been through instructional videos or trial and error. But once you get the hang of them, they are GREAT MIDI controllers, and using the Cube Suite app, you can configure them to do just about anything you need, and work with any MIDI device or app.
