Hello.
I'm thinking about buying a 25 key keyboard to do some composition under
linux. Is there any list of recommended devices, known to work OK? I've
thought about the M-Audio Oxygen 8 v2 or the M-Audio Axiom 25. Anyone
uses them? Any other good suggestions?
I had an Oxygen 8 (v1). It worked fine, but two octaves gets
frustrating very quickly, and the keys felt kind of flimsy. A HOWTO
for use with Alsa is here:

I recently replaced it with an M-Audio Keystation 61. This has the
best keyboard feel I could find on a low budget, but it doesn't have
all the knobs.
