What small 25 key controller? Qunexus?

I fancy a tiny controller for the desk (I've got 61 key 'proper' controller) and came across the Qunexus.  It looks like fun, although I've read some reports of quality issues.  Any users or recommendations for alternatives?

    You could have a look at any of the ones on offer from Arturia, specifically the Minilab MkII or the Keystep if you don't mind a few extra keys.

    Well, don't buy a Qunexus.  The velociy response is completely uneven across the playing surface making it unplayable. 

    Fun, and and interesting - but not remotely usable.

    CME XKey 37 just landed (I know I said 25 key....)

    Completely different beast to the shit toy Qunexus - superbly built, actually quite nice to play (the 'keys' are full size) and still has the polyphonic aftertouch.

    Pitch bend and modulation buttons are pressure sensitive too for more expression.

    Exactly what I wanted.

    I seriously considered one, but mini keys are the work of the devil.

    I had a korg nanokey and novation launchkey mini mk1. I currently use the arturia minilab mk2 together with my 61 key controller. 

    the form of the nanokey is really similar to the qunexus, but I've never tried the latter. the nanokey is tiny and very portable but ultimately didn't do quite enough (doesnt take sustain pedal!). I quite like my current minilab, it works really well with arturia software, has decent pads and loads of knobs if you need them.
