I looked at a Nanokey, or at one or two similar controllers with Chiclet-type keys, and determined that I had much more trouble identifying the pitches at first glance than on a controller with traditional black and white piano style keys.
Also, I had three reasons for buying the little Akai LPK25 rather than a larger 4-octave full-sized controller: Much less desk-space than the full-sized four-octave jobs. Easy to throw in bag with lap-top. I was used to mid-sized keys from that Casio (and, from the GREATEST INVENTION EVER, FOR A WHILE - the Creative Labs Prodikeys combo computer and midi keyboard - it had a built-in mid-sized 2 1/2 octave midi keyboard at the bottom of the ascii keyboard - it was SO CONVENIENT until Finale stopped supporting it. I am typing on it now, AAMOF). But anyway, I like mid-sized keys - I am not a great keyboard player, don't play in real time much, but I can reach as much as a twelfth on them - great for putting big chords in one part and exploding them later. Only inconvenience is switching octaves for input, and the signal light makes it easy to keep track of that.
