It looks lovely and feels nice, but it's too fragile
It's clearly designed after the apple bluetooth keyboard, down to the feel and finish. The keys have the exactly same distance as on your casual keyboard but are smaller themselves to facilitate for the frame. It feels slightly odd at first but you can easily adjust to it.
Bluetooth connectivity feels like magic. You press a button on the keyboard and then select it in your OS'es MIDI settings – or an iPhone – and then it just works. Instant boost to on-the-go creativity.
The pitch/mod controls done as buttons are tricky and you really need to get used to those. I'd be happier if the keyboard was just a notch narrower myself.
Now onto the sad part. It's VERY fragile. I got the official case and had it in my backpack twice (and the backpack wasn't even full – just the notebook and the keyboard). Somehow that was enough for the keys to start falling off and once they are off it's really non-trivial to clip them back on (and they feel more wobbly afterwards).
It's super slim, nice looking, and neat. Go for it if you want a stylish keyboard of your cramped desk but it's not fit for travels.

Looks nice, but not so useful.
I've bought it for doing music if I'm traveling with my macbook air.
Nice style that associated with apple brand. But the mostly for me was bluetooth connection, that (!) isn't work with Apple Macbook M1.
The 2-rd is velocity. It didn't work properly. I have 2 other keys, that I can use as controller for drums, synths (Moog and Korg) - and these are have a very nice velocity touch. If I use CME Air 25 the velocity works very strange - almost 100%. If you need play softly or with relative touch - you need to do "a preferences on your fingers".
At all - very good idea but not useful at all )

I like the keyboard - it is good for composing on the road - but CME didn't mention the fact that MIDI via Bluetooth is not supported by Windows and by majority of music software. I was very disappointed and returned it. I have bought CME Xkey 25 instead.
