Hey i did some research when i got my last controller but been busy of late ,I had a edirol pcr for like 3 years but now like half of the keys stopped working ,i took it to get fixed but if they want too much im thinking i may just get a new one but different brand ,which controller would you guys recommend that wont break or stop working in a few months?

if you really want it to last, get a yamaha keyboard of some kind. they're built like tanks. infact, indiana jones was going to hide inside one to escape the nuclear bomb, but the fridge was closer.

Mi mate,

My Edirol PCR had the same problem. Pretty much overnight, half the keys stopped working. I ended up buying a new keyboard but I'd love to know how you get on with getting yours fixed and how much it cost. I still have mine boxed up and would be happy to start using it again if it can be fixed.

i got an x-board 25 and it works fine for two yrs by now... if your a keys player i would recommend you the x-board 49 its not that expensive and does the job...

I'm wondering the same thing actually, I'm really after something to do my DJ sets with more than keys, but I'm looking at the Novation remote SL series... I notice they haven't been mentioned here, does anyone have an opinion on these at all?
I'm a little worried about the fader length, since its no where near 60mm and I can't find specs saying exactly what it is:nervous:
But I hear novation keyboards have great feeling keys so if thats what your after, maybe you should look into it.
