M Audio KeyRig 49 49 Key USB Keyboard Controller customer reviews:

Good for the price!
It was a little tricky to install, but once done, it proved to be a nice keyboard. Since it uses USB 2.0, its even more responsive than regular midi cables. Works flawlessly with Cakewalk Sonar.
Make sure your XP or Vista Pc has the usb audio update from Microsoft.
Maybe a great keyboard, but only for one computer!
We wanted a simple keyboard to plug into our Xp laptops, and use to practice our choral work regardless of where we might travel. We needed to use the keyboard on multiple computers for different members of our family. Further, we were looking for something "compact" (portable) hence the purchase of a 49 key keyboard with adjustable octaves for bass, alto, soprano singing parts. This is truly a full size keyboard - the same size keys as a grand piano. Hence, even though it is only 49 keys, it is huge! The biggest drawback for us is that this maufacturer has elected to go the "Microsoft" route - to incorporate the simple Xp drivers with their proprietary music software, and to allow the package to ONLY be installed on ONE computer, using a unique key number that has to be "certified" on their website (similar to Microsoft's operating system licenses). So, you are not really purchasing a keyboard, you are purchasing a single use SOFTWARE license! Thought buyers might find this information useful. We have had to return this product. This is only the second time We have ever had to place a return to Amazon. We were VERY disappointed. I would guess that the same condition prevails for all M-Audio products, but I cannot be sure. We will avoid their products in the future. Wish someone like Yamaha would make a keyboard that plays like a piano, without all the MIDI instrument, rhythm variations or similar options, and make it small enough to be portable!
not a stand alone keyboard - no speakers
It doesn't matter so much to me, but it's important you know that the keyboard has no speakers to play by itself. It can only be played through your computer. But for GarageBand on Mac, you just plug it in and it works. Great for producing/arranging music.
Works well for Finale with my Mac
I purchased this keyboard for use with Finale 2010 on my Mac. It works as I expected and I have had no problems so far. As others have noted, the keys are not weighted, but for note entry it works as I would like. I also like that it is a half size keyboard so it is easy to store. I didn't need any extra functions and this keyboard is simple. I only use it for note entry.
Good midi keyboard
This is definitely for someone who has a computer that does everything for them, which is how mine is set up. All my effects and everything are on the computer side, this is just a keyboard for input, I use mine for production. Unit is somewhat flimsy, but doesn't matter if it's just sitting on a desk. Not a performance keyboard, but great for basic use. I would recommend it for a beginner or someone who just wants to use a keyboard with their computer. Remember though this has NO SPEAKERS, solely for use with a computer.
