    Yeah, usually that genre stays within the 5 adjacent keys, so you still have 20 redundant keys!:rofl:

    I would skip the Akai. Their budget controllers have gotten some pretty terrible reviews about the build quality. Arturia are usually pretty durable. The others, are probably all pretty close. Most are probably all made at the same factory in China anyway. Based on personal experience, I would get the M-Audio. They have been making controllers for decades, and you will frequently see people with them 10+ years old and still working close to perfect.

    Any of them will work for data entry. If you actually want to play it like a real keyboard or synth; I'd skip most of the ones mentioned in the first few posts.
