A MIDI keyboard always contains piano-like keys and is primarily focused on playing notes and creating melodies. A MIDI controller is a broader term that includes devices without a keyboard, such as pads, MIDI mixers, or tape controllers for parametric control or event triggers. MIDI keyboards can also include additional controls (pads, faders, encoders) and are hybrid MIDI controllers.
