Nektar Impact GX49 USB 49-Key MIDI Keyboard Controller - Fresh Stock Dated February 2026

Description

One hardware issue
: I've found occasional spurious MIDI messages from the pitch bend wheel's especially sensitive potentiometer. (For example, the wheel sits idle at the "64" position, but would occasionally send MIDI values like "62" or "67" without being touched.) I contacted Nektar about this, and they were kind enough to send a replacement for the physical part that comprised the pitch and mod wheels. I installed this, but eventually the same issue recurred – either I was especially unlucky or the issue affects this part routinely. Ultimately I disconnected the wheels so that neither of them send any MIDI messages. The keyboard is easy to open using a small screwdriver; if you want to use the wheels, you could reconnect them or even call Nektar and ask whether they'll replace them again.
In all other respects, the working and cosmetic condition are good.  I suspect the appropriate buyer for this item doesn't care about the pitch and mod wheels, and just wants a small, light, MIDI keyboard at a good price, and that's why I'm listing it. As you can see, I'm not asking much for it, though I hope you'll understand the use of calculated shipping to transport the larger item.
