Akai MPK Mini MK4 – First look & Unboxing

I unbox the newly released Akai MPK Mini MK4 and compare it directly to my long-used MPK Mini MK2 to answer one key question: is the MK4 actually worth upgrading to?
I skipped the MK3, but the MK4 finally adds changes that made me switch — including USB-C, transport controls, encoder knobs, traditional pitch/mod wheels, and a new OLED display.

🔍 What This Video Covers
I walk through everything included in the box, take a close look at the build quality, keys, pads, knobs, and ports, and show a side-by-side size and layout comparison with the MPK Mini MK2.
I also break down what’s new, what stayed the same, and which upgrades actually improve everyday workflow for music production, beat making, and home studio use.

🎧 Who This Is For
If you’re currently using an MPK Mini MK2, deciding between the MK4 vs MK2, or wondering if the MK4 finally fixes long-standing MPK Mini pain points like legacy USB connections and limited controls, this video will help you decide before you buy.
