Technically, keyboard controllers are devices that have that kind of piano organ or synthetic style keyboard, as well as some knobs, buttons, and sliders. All these can be used to transfer MIDI data to external sound sources (synthesizers), computer software synthesizers and sequencers. Most keyboard controls have no internal sound source system, but almost all keyboard synthesizers / workstations can play the role of controlling the sound and parameters of other devices.

The benefits of keyboard controllers are rich features and portability. It is worth noting that the MIDI control keyboard can not only control almost all modern music hardware, but also control virtual instruments running in your beloved laptop. And these are only packed in the package you travel with.
