i have an oxygen 8 vs (as mentioned above) and i couldn't be happier with it, does everything you could need, i havn't come across a DAW it doesn't work with yet. what programs you looking at using it with, becuase there is a great yahoo group with all the configuration files you need for it to work with diferent programs.

thats the cheapest I've found it.
definatly recommend. although it depeneds on wether u want just a load of keys, or do you specifacaly want knobs/sliders and things to play about with, imo this is good coz it gives you both, for a very reasonable price.

you need to search for 'all terms' not 'any terms'.
i've got an M-Audio Oxygen 49 and while i don't have any fucking reason to own one it is as far as i can tell very nice
the er....buttons and knobs all work, and the keys make sounds. all in all an excellent keyboard.

I have the 25-key M-Audio Oxygen v8, it does the job, but don't expect to play full out piano on it, it's only 2 octaves. But it's good enough for banging out a melody and triggering samples/messing with your drums.
I got it from
http://www.zzounds.com/ they have very fast shipping.
