Question About Keylab Essentials MK3 88 Height

Hi all,

I currently own an Arturia Keylab Mk2 61 but am considering switching to a Keylab Essentials MK3 88. The main reason is that I prefer the improved keybed for piano playing and seldom use the controls and buttons of the Mk2. However, I have a very limited amount of space, and the keyboard needs to fit beneath my desk.

The Mk2 61 fits with a tight margin, and its height is stated (and measured) to be 71mm. The Essentials MK3 88 is listed as 68mm in height on Arturia’s site, but I suspect that might be without including the knobs. This seems lower than expected, especially since other websites (Thomann) mention the height as 88mm, which feels more reasonable tbh.

Does anyone own the Essentials MK3 88 and could measure the actual height, including the knobs? I’d really appreciate the help!

Thanks in advance,
Petter

I measure about 83-85 mm from the base to the tops of the knobs.
