I'm looking to give the Novation as a gift. What is the difference between the 49 and the 61 key boards? Should I spend the extra money for the 61?

As far as I can tell the only real difference is the number of keys. If this is your primary control I'd get 61, if not its up to you.

Not much difference at all. the G510 has a little more control over the color of the lights for the keys, and conrtol over the sound system including mute. In my opinion either board you select you will have as good ad there is on the market. ps Logitech didn't pay me a nickle for this testimony and I mean every word of it!

The original keyboard was 58221; that's the P/N on the bottom one I still have in service, which I bought maybe 20 years ago. They haven't been manufactured in a long time, and I was unable to find a used one on the internet. The entire board layout was larger than the MS replacement I also use. The ten keys between the letter keys and the number pad were, in the first model, laid our more intuitively. But any MS ergonomic keyboard is vastly easier to use than any rectangular model. And if it feels a little strange at first, after a couple of days it won't. And it's far less stressful on hands and arms.

I was ready to purchase the 165, but before doing so, I downloaded the 40-some page booklet from the Casio site. It covers the LK-160, LK-165 and LK-240. The LK-240 has touch ... like an acoustic piano, you can vary the volume depending how hard you hit the keys. Also, the LK-240 does not have BUT gives the option of purchasing a sustain pedal ($20-30) ... the 165 doesn't have that option. I got the 240, purchased a sustain pedal, and think it's a better deal for really not that much more money. -Jon Strand P.S. the 175 I know nothing about.

I think that touch & feel is awfully subjective and dependent on personal preference. But I'd say the keys on this board are relatively "tall" and distinct. In fact, this stands out for me because I'm on the heavy handed side and prefer this board's configuration to something like the Zagg tablet board that I'm typing this note on. Hope that helps.

Eric, Thanks for a well thought out review. It's nice to hear from someone with playing experience who has lived with one of these keyboards over time.I have to ask, what did you think of the Korg? How did it compare with the other two?

probably off the sharkoon website or just get some third party keys. BTW, is this keyboard good? i just wanted to know because im starting to build my pc and i want a cheap, but good keyboard. Will this basically fit the standard needs of a regular keyboard and a keyboard to play some light games like minecraft, steam games, ect.? thanks i would love to know.

Key cap quality is very good. Have had no problems over the year. The best part of the board is the removable keypad. If you switch between your mouse and 10 key, it seems mor natural to have the 10 key to the right of your mouse.

they're actually all the same. it's just the matter of what types of switch (blue,brown, black for cherry). If you don't mind the noise, then blue is the loudest. In my opinion all are the same, so look at your budget and just buy the cheapest in the ones you list. They're all good keyboards.Or you can buy the Razer Blackwidow for $80. It's pretty good deal for a mechanical keyboard and it's pretty new, came out in September or October i forget.

I agree. I bough the black model and the keyboard is great! Plenty of size. In fact I'm typing this post off of my nb205-210 right now. I prefer the look of this computer over the more expensive -310 version. This model is a no brainer if you don't need wifi. That is why I got this model. You will be happy with this keyboard, works great!

I would check with a Klisch rep on this one. The 62 is a nice speaker but I think the heresy is such a nice speaker that you might want to move up the line if you can afford to. Ordering here is convenient and return policy is great! So try one if you don't want it return it.

Yeah, I can see where a sinking keyboard would be a bit of a turnoff. I didn't experience that with a unit I borrowed, but it might be a quality control issue. I found the shift key placement to be largely a non-issue for me and found myself more annoyed with the MSI Wind's mini-period and mini-comma keys. Drove me crazy.I do like the Samsung Netbook. I may just wait for the post-Xmas Desperation Sale to buy it either here or at Newegg.

Hi,David. The only difference between both models its that the essential version has no Green LED backlit keys and the Expert version its fully illuminated with the green backlit keys. If you like the design and the Chiclet style keys go for the Expert version.In my opinion this is a very good keyboard. Maybe at the begining it take some days to get used to it but soon or later you wont regret.This is very good keyboard for the price.

I would assume the Rev. 3.0 boards are the more advanced ones in their line(more worth a purchase), but I have no clue. I did some Googling, had trouble finding much info on it. :<

in short the answer is....it doesnt matter. the keyboard is junk. pass it up and find something better for the money.

Hi, Mine only fits a 61-key, I dont think your keyboard would fit in my model. My case can only fit a max of 41-inch length keyboard. Please make sure youre getting the right model. Also please note that this model keyboard case can be lumpy, the whole thing stays on the floor FLAT; I had to modify mine to firm up the frame and it cost me an extra $24 and some innovative work. So you might wanna ask another critical question: "does it stay flat and lumpy?"

I don't understand the question. What chart? As far as I know, there is only one Special 20- the Marine Band-branded one, as you describe. If you check the Hohner site, that's all you'll find under Special 20, in the various keys. I've been playing them for thirty years- they've never varied, far as I know. If you got something other than the MB Sp. 20 as pictured, you've gotten something weird, maybe not genuine Hohner. Is it maybe country-tuned, or some other odd tuning? Is it from some overseas outlet? I'd be interested in seeing a picture of a progressive Sp.20.
