Any MIDI keyboard will work as long as you have a MIDI interface that
works. Trickiness comes into play with USB/MIDI keyboards. Those are
essentially USB/MIDI interfaces tucked into a keyboard. As
previously-discussed here, USB/MIDI devices may or may not work with
Linux. Roland/Edirol and Korg are two brands known to work.
When ALSA isn't fighting over which sound card to load in which order on
my system, the E-MU Xmidi1x1 works just fine. It only needs the
snd-usb-audio driver on my system.
But that's just the USB<>MIDI interface, can't give advice about
professional keyboards.
