M-Audio Keystation 49 MK3
Updated recommendation
The original item was M-Audio Keystation 49es MIDI Controller, but we are showing you the latest up-to-date version of this gear.
A great no-frills MIDI keyboard with 49 synth action keys, a small footprint, and light weight. You may want to pass on it if you need knobs sliders and pads, but for a simple MIDI keyboard this is a solid choice with a very reasonable price tag.
