Good for the price!
If you don't need too much control, this might be the keyboard for you. The build is decent for the price, the keys feel nice, the additional features such as transpose are great to mess around with your setup. Control over MIDI channels etc. is also adequate. All in all, decent for the price.
The biggest con by far are the instructions. These do not explain properly how some of the features are activated .
(for example, in order to activate the MIDI out through the Din-5 port, you need to press "Advanced" > press "Midi Out" > and THEN press "Enter" when the lights are green)

Budget friendly MIDI keyboard
I bought the Keyboard a year ago and I have spend many hours in front of them making music.I have to say thats the M-Audio Keyastation 61 its a very good keyboard for the price range for one who need many octaves and dont have a big budget.
Pros
Plug n play
programmable buttons(record,start,stop,octave up/down)
good build quality
Cons
The keys doesnt feel very natural but its some comromises needed for the price

Great simple master usb/MIDI keyboard
Quite basic yet resistant master keyboard. Workhorse, solid, easily compatible and straightforward machine. Size & weight super convenient. USB completely fluid (same with MIDI). Very happy with this keyboard which I use as a 2nd master MIDI key to route to many machines. Not a piano-weighted keyboard, but for such an affordable price, it's a go-to keyboard.

Gets the job done
Nothing too fancy but enough to program some MIDI notes.
For better realism I would suggest fully weighted action

M-Audio Keystation 61 MK3
One of the best-in-class MIDI keyboards in terms of price and quality. Good build quality. Semi-weighted mechanics allow the player to better control the dynamics of the performed parts. Easy to operate, reliable in operation. The design is simple and concise, the quality of materials is good. The set of management functions is very sparse, but in most cases it is sufficient. It is not possible to adjust the keyboard sensitivity. When performing dynamic musical parts, the clicking of keys is slightly annoying, but not critical. Given the lack of additional controllers, it is more suitable for playing and creating arrangements than for controlling the parameters of virtual synthesizers and DAW functions. To solve such problems, you need to look for something else.

Good features
I used this for a simple two manual stack with my PC running hauptwerk, it worked fine the keys are a little 'clacky' not as good as my atelier but would expect that from a low priced keyboard compared with an organ costing over 20k. Was easy to sell on as they are in quite high demand.

perfect for what I wanted
I was looking for a reasonably priced USB MIDI keyboard, mostly just to play the piano with through my laptop. It was perfect for exactly that with no excessive functions or buttons.
