Summary: M-Audio Keystation 61es
Comment: For the money, I think this is a fair deal; although it didn't completely meet my needs. After I bought I decided that I should have gone with the 61-note Axiom model instead. The things I needed that I don't get are 1) spilt-zoned keyboard and 2) a volume pedal jack (for swell in organ and live volume control with everything else, additional controllers (drum pads etc.). Hey, I bought it, so the lack of these features did not detract from the rating which I gave it; i.e., I didn't use the lack of these features to count against it.
I can only give this keyboard 3 stars and here is why. It's mediocre. Does what it does... no more no less. The keyboard feel is not especially great, but not too bad either. It 'gives' too much and the resistance is not at all like that of many Roland/Yamaha/Kurzweil instruments I've played, but it's not bad either.
Again, you get what you pay for and I suppose this would be a great keyboard for some other folks. I think that all-in-all, it's a fair price. 3 stars.... if you need more, pony up for the axiom 61 also sold here on amazon. I wish I had done so... I will soon.

Summary: Great value, Amazon delivery was SLOW.
Comment: Keyboard is a really nice and a great value. Delivery was promised in 5-9 days and was backordered for 30 days. I would have ordered from another vendor had I known.
Customer Rating:
Summary: No frills, job done
Comment: Yup, it feels a little cheap and plastic-ee. Yes sometimes the keys make an odd noise when they are pressed. Yes, Garage Band identified it immediately and I was able to throw down a quick bass and organ track to make loops I can practice to. I won't get to Carnegie on it but then I wasn't trying to. Perfect for what it is.

Summary: Good Midi Keyboard
Comment: Nothing bad to say about this product. The key action is good and it has some nice programmable features. Works great with Session.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very nice for the price
Comment: Easy to install.
Great for an Audio-Midi home studio.
Keys do not feel like a real piano, but better than most MIDI keyboards.
It is perfect for chords, and easy runs with a MIDI sequencer.
Worked just fine with my MS Vista 32 O.S.
It would have gotten five stars if the Keys were not so "springy".
