Our take
I've been using the MPK Mini MkII for a few weeks now, and it's a solid little controller for its size. The keys are mini but playable, the pads are responsive, and the built-in arpeggiator is a nice touch. However, the build feels a bit plasticky, and I wish the knobs had more resistance. For under $90, it's a good entry-level option, but if you need more keys or sturdier construction, you might want to look elsewhere.
