I've not tried the action, but I assume it's a bouncy 'synth' action (with springs rather than weights). I'm probably going to buy something today just to have on my desk and carry round with me, and the 25 key version is on my list, as is the LPK25 wireless, but I ideally wanted something with semi-weighted keys, but cant find anything that remains truly portable - perhaps the Alesis vi25 or the Arturia keylab 25, but they seem a bit too big to be lugging around along with laptop and live.

But I'm not entirely sure what the target audience is for the 41+ key sizes as they seem too big to sling in a rucksack, so I would have thought by that point you might as well be looking at getting a keyboard with proper full size keys. The 25 version is also maybe a bit too big for a truly portable design (especially compared to the LPK25 or mini mpd 2).
Might get the 25 key korg regardless, it seems well made. The akai ones seem like the usual Akai garbage - look neat but apparently the keys suck, no control over velocity curve and USB ports break really easily. Then again it's nice to have something truly portable to carry around, even if build quality sucks.
BTW bluetooth will kill the keyboard batteries pretty quickly (AA batteries so could get pricey). Is it something you would actually use in preference to a single USB connection (not sure how long the Live battery will last if it's also powering a keyboard though).
