It depend on your level of musicianship. If your a true pianist or even close, I would not recommend it. But if your like me and many others who kind of peck their way around until you get something that sound good this might suit your needs. Me, I couldn't care less about 88 full size weighted keys, spring action, programmable pedals, etc.
I don't play that well any way but some of the guys here can't live without that kind of stuff. Those guy wouldn't touch a Oxygen or Radium board either. A few of my friends have the older model and it works great for their needs and is a good space saver. My only gripe is that it does not have a mod wheel but they don't seem to miss it much. I don't have that particular model linked to by the OP, but I do have a Prodikeys DM. The QWERTY keys are too stiff, the midi keys are too small, there is no mod wheel, and the pitch and volume wheels are tiny.
As pointed out by someone else, the sustain is a button. If you just need a quick, handy, limited midi input device, then I'd say prodikeys is probably on the low end of choices. A better choice would be a small dedicated midi controller that you can stash next to the QWERTY. I don't think I'd ever buy another Prodikeys.
And yet, I have a strange fondness for it. As a sole dedicated MIDI controller, yeah, you're better off looking elsewhere. But as a secondary controller that is useful for auditioning sounds or adding small parts that require no special finesse it's actually kind of useful. And it sends it's data over a PS/2 port which means it doesn't use yet another USB port, which is what got me interested (I also got it cheap). Sometimes when I'm editing I don't want to turn on my Alesis if I'm only doing minimal MIDI input. However, keep in mind we are talking about Creative, and we all know how their drivers are. To get the Prodikeys driver on you have to install the whole stupid software package which I haven't even looked at but can't imagine is any good.
They recently released a new driver that allows for transposition of the keyboard via the buttons on the top. Great, the problem is that now the keyboard is constantly sending a stream of wobbly, minor pitchbend information to Sonar regardless of what MIDI channel is selected on the track. I've just turned it off in Sonar for now because I can't really be bothered to figure out how to filter it. At some point I'll either figure out how to filter it, or roll-back the driver, but at present I just have a rather ungainly QWERTY keyboard.

[edit]Construction Although some designs are based on a Pringles potato chip can, in reality this tube is too narrow to be practical.[2], however a cantenna can be made from various cans or tubes of an appropriate diameter.[3] Some designs include a pole mount to elevate the cantenna.[4] [edit]Usage While cantennas are useful for extending a wireless local area network (WLAN), the tiny design makes them ideal for mobile applications such as wardriving. The design of the cantenna is so simple that it is often the first antenna WiFi experimenters learn to build. Programma dlya nastrojki antenni 3g modema 2. It was a 50-ohm resistive load used by radio amateurs.[1] However, in the more casual vernacular of the Do-It-Yourself community, it has functionally become a portmanteau of can (e.g. An empty Pringles can, see below) and antenna, since they're used to broadcast (and receive) signals, and not just terminate them.
To get the Prodikeys driver on you have to install the whole stupid software package which I haven't even looked at but can't imagine is any good. When I installed my Prodikeys, I just dug through the huge package until I found the driver files: funkeydi.dll prod2kxp.cat PROD2KXP.INF ProdDrvr.sys ProdMidi.dll I saved them in their own folder, then pointed the Add New Hardware wizard to them. So I avoided all the useless Creative crap that they want to install. Mine worked perfect;y from the start, in all my DAW's, synths, everything.
Were there error messages? Did you set the programs to recognize them as MIDI devices? Were the drivers properly installed? I'm not a Creative lover myself, and I don't think Prodikeys compare for an instant with a professional keyboard, but for a handy device that has keys and takes as much space as a PC keyboard, it is not a bad choice for guitarists.:-) ORIGINAL: CAW I have never been able to get my Prodikeys to work with any PC in my studio, home or office. And, Creative's support is non-existent.
IMHO one should never buy anything from Creative. ORIGINAL: tok2burn What? Mine worked perfect;y from the start, in all my DAW's, synths, everything. Were there error messages?
Did you set the programs to recognize them as MIDI devices? Were the drivers properly installed? Oh man what a story. You are a lucky user. The Creative forum has a lithany of user complaints on this device. The error which comes up is 'Prodikeys hardware is not detected or is in use by another application'. There are work arounds posted all over the internet but none has every worked for me.
I bought this piece of junk from Musicians friend and when I tried to return it they said no can do because you're saying it doesn't work with your PC so it's your PC's problem. I then told them that it wouldn't work with 5 different PC's and they still said no. At that time I had purchased well over $25,000 worth of equipment from MF in an 18 month period. You wanna guess how much money I've spent with them since? I have since tried it on many more PC's and have never been able to get it to work at all as anything but a typing keyboard.
