With this creative multimedia Creative Prodikeys DM PC keyboard, you can enjoy more interesting internet life. You can easily convert the keyboard into a "Sampler" with the included customizable software. A Sampler is a piece of audio equipment, wherein you can mix multiple sounds together. It is generally used by music directors to make a rough sample of the background score. Samplers are generally very expensive - the good ones cost in lakhs. With its Prodikeys DM, Creative hopes to provide a cheaper alternative for aspiring music directors.
Creative Prodikeys DM is a standard PC keyboard and MIDI keyboard rolled into one device. The MIDI keys are perfectly concealed below the palm rest and only when you remove the palm rest, they become accessible. The keyboard does feel a little bit bulky, but is still compact enough to fit perfectly atop any desktop. You can switch between Standard Keyboard mode and Music Mode by the press of a music button, located on the left side of the keyboard. Just above the music button is a scroll-type volume button. The multimedia keys have been neatly placed above the function keys.
I had my doubts regarding the ergonomics of the keyboard - considering the bulkiness of the product. The Prodikeys DM is ergonomically designed for working comfortably. The palm rest has been designed very nicely. The keys are not so soft, when compared to products from Microsoft and Logitech. Another thing that surprised me is that the keyboard plugs into a PS2 port, and yet supports so many functions. You need to install the drivers and the software bundled along with it, in order to work. Also one has to make sure to remove the driver when you switch to another keyboard, or else the latter will refuse to work. The Creative Prodikeys DM is available in two colors; Black and Biege.
