Rock Band 3 Wireless Keyboard for Wii and WiiU

Works great with the Wii. Best part is that it doesnt require a wii remote to be plugged in to connect to the game.

I pre-ordered this, and was really excited for it, but after a night of playing, Im less than thrilled. If you want to play it like a keyboard rather than sling it over your shoulder like a keytar, its hard to find a surface to play it that wont make your hand hurt after a couple of songs. (Maybe the Mad Catz stand would help? I wanted to try the keyboard out before deciding whether to get the stand, and based on my experience so far, I doubt I will be playing it enough to make the stand worthwhile.) There were no real instructions that I could find, in-game or in the accompanying documentation. It didnt take long to figure out through trial and error, but failing the first few bars of a song while you figure out what buttons do what is not a great user experience. The interface is not very intuitive (like the rest of the over-shell in RB3), and some basic I see youve plugged in a keyboard for the first time. Do you want a quick tutorial? in-game would have been very welcome. I play a little piano, so I expected to have a head start on pro mode. To some extent that was true, in terms of knowing my way around the keyboard without having to look at my fingers, but the way the notes are represented in pro mode was really frustrating. Theres an on-screen track for every single note, and I found it really difficult to tell which notes it wanted me to play. If RB3 had an option to switch to standard sheet music, I would have taken it-- had I spent the same amount of time at my piano with the sheet music to Imagine as I spent trying to figure out which notes Rock Band wanted me to hit in that stupid bridge, I would be able to play the song from memory today. The regular non-pro mode seemed a little silly: since you must play it one-handed, it does not have the same level of involvement as guitar, bass or drums. I went through three of the pro-keyboard lessons, but the software kept glitching to the point that it was unplayable and I had to reset the console. Not impressed. And, although you couldnt call it a surprise, if you have imported your RB2 tracks or have a lot of DLC, there are just not that many songs that have keyboard parts to play to begin with. On tracks without a keyboard part, it gives you the option of playing guitar or bass parts on the keys, which I tried, but found that I would rather be playing the guitar part on the guitar. In short, I am not really eager to rush home to a second night with that keyboard-- which is a shame, because Id been counting down the days until it was delivered. Oh well. I still love my drums best!

It was a great product. Works amazing for Rock Band 3.

Added the batteries, plugged it in and kids were playing rock band 3 with it on wii u within minutes. Good product

My child plays this more than I do and she loves it! Great for kids and adults of all ages!

Came new in box with dongle, fast shipping and works perfectly. Nothing better to ask for!

Its been a year and the thing is still going strong

the keyboard is great, it just did not come with all the accessories for it. i dint remember is it said that online or not

The keyboard has a good quality feel to it. The MIDI features are useful, I suppose, but I doubt Ill ever use them.

This game is fun to play but the music selection is limited unless you go online and buy more. Just to get all the equipment is costly let alone buying more music. It is also hard to get the WII set up online unless you have cable online access. The good thing about this accessory is you can play keyboard, bass or guitar.
