What keyboard (61 keys) would you recommend for a budget of 150€/100GBP?

Apologies, I was thinking of a 49-keys. Anyway, you'd have recommended me the Oxygen-49, wouldn't you? Would be right, it seems very close to what I'm looking for.
I never heard of flexible keyboards before. What's the point of these things?

I'd say stay away from the Oxygen series. They're okay, but have really bad velocity response (mine does anyway) and are physically pretty poorly made.
Edirol makes some that are smaller and feel better, to me.
CME makes some nice ones, but they're pricey.

subframe speaks truth...
my oxygen8 v1 is soon to be replaced by a Novation Remote SL if the taxman dun bleed me dry.
I think that may be out of your budget tho

I have an old Oxygen 8 too and it's not so nice. Good for traveling but lacking in most areas. I've had good luck with Edirol's.
Miro, didn't know you were into production?

Talking about the
ReMOTE LE x49 for instance?
The Edirol PCR-M50's a bunch of sliders, otherwise they have pretty much the same features. They're the same price...
What would you people pick?

M-audio Axiom is not bad, and has aftertouch which is good. A little bit light if you're expecting piano-like action, but signigicantly cheaper than where you'd actually expect that.
If you're into Roland-style quick responsive keys, then the Axioms are not bad at all, and you get 61 keys for not-so-much.

Looks pretty good but it's a bit over my budget.
