    What is your favorite type of keypad for a controller? I have a Nektar LX49 That I bought in a jam several years ago when my old keyboard broke. It’s OK, but the keys are about as cheap and basic as it gets. A lot of what I’m doing these days is more piano oriented, and while I don’t want to spend a fortune to buy a weighted controller that mimics an actual piano.

    Went to a store yesterday to compare the Komplete Kontrol 49 and the Arturia Keylab Essential 49. Both are in my price range.

    I already have all the Arturia software but not using much of it these days. I only have a Spitfire Audio Native Instruments plugin and don’t use anything else they make.

    The Arturia keys feel a little cheap and wobbly. The Kontakt keys felt nice and solid. Leaning towards that but wondering what you guys think. Who makes the best keys in a 49 key controller in the $200-$250 price range?
