Aluminum Housing
Made of an ultra-durable, 2mm thick, die-cast aluminum alloy shell that's 0.39" (23mm) tall, Mini 2 is more compact than ever and ready to withstand the rigors of the road.
Backlit Buttons
See all critical controls on the darkest stage or backstage. No glow tape necessary. With MIDI clock from your DAW, the "PLAY" button can also blink in time with your music!
Tactile Feedback
Beneath each soft-to-touch silicone button on Mini 2, you'll find a satisfying, reliable switch so you'll know you've hit the "PLAY" button, cued the artist in, or fired that sample!
USB-C Native
Oakboard Mini 2 comes standard with USB-C, allowing you to connect directly to your playback computer so you can leave your dongles and adapters at home.

Road Ready
Mini 2 is small enough to throw into your backpack (or pocket!) and rugged enough to withstand years of tour.
It's purpose built and engineered for reliability to make sure nothing interrupts your live show flow state.
Works with Live
Mini 2 integrates perfectly with Ableton Live-compatible cue-launching software such as Taz, AbleSet, and Setlist. Every Mini 2 includes a license to Taz Lite, our cue-launching plugin for Ableton Live.
Besides out-of-the-box compatibility with Ableton Live, many of our customers use their Oakboards with QLab, Logic, and various other workstations. This is thanks to Mini 2's compatibility with any software that allows MIDI controller mapping.
Is your production relying on a MIDI Controller that's:
Made of plastic?
Designed for programming beats?
Prone to misfiring?
Covered in marked masking tape?
Making you guess if you pressed it?
Making you guess if you pressed it twice?
Dependable tech is paramount
Dependable tech is paramount
Mini 2 was designed first and foremost with reliable cue launching in mind – so you can be more confident stewarding the magic on stage.

This thing is fantastic. Great weight and doesn’t fall off my keyboard. The “click” on the buttons is a game changer over other midi controllers. To know I actually I actually successfully started a track or muted a track seems so simple, but it’s a big deal.
Would love an expansion “companion” unit with more buttons and faders for other functions.
Crushing the game, guys!
Thanks for the kind words and 5-star review, Keith!

As you can see in the picture I was already a very happy user of the Oakboard Mini, it's the toughest and easiest control surface for your shows; I'm touring the world with it for 2 years now and it's never had one single issue.
The new Mini 2 it's even better, the new tactile feel of the buttons and the new thinnest height are adding up to something that was already perfect!
Thank you Jeff!!

Great MIDI controller. Fantastically simple design and very easy to set up and use.
Also gotta mention the amazing customer service. Had a question about firmware and Jeff responded in less than 24 hours with easy to follow, step-by-step instructions.
Pick one up. You won't regret it.

lI tasto PLAY che lampeggia a tempo del bpm mi fa impazzire!
Thanks for the review! I think that's a good thing, haha! If you need to disable the PLAY button blink for any reason, you can turn off the MIDI Clock SYNC IN on your digital audio workstation.
Tech Failures are Unprofessional
At Oaktone, we know professionalism is a critical part of your job and that means you need gear you can rely on. The problem is, most playback computers are still being controlled by flimsy, plastic, ad hoc solutions which can hinder your ability to do the job well and can undermine your showtime confidence. We believe running playback should never interrupt your live show flow state. We understand firsthand the stress and excitement of live music, which is why we created the most durable series of MIDI controllers ever made specifically for playback.
Pick up an Oakboard before it's sold out. And in the meantime, get in touch if you have any questions so you can stop worrying about your gear and get back in the flow.
