An outstanding candidate for studio rigs, the Arturia Keylab Essential MK3 keyboard might be the most complete USB/MIDI production tool of all time. While the first two generations packed more than enough potency, this slightly tighter edition of the third-gen Arturia offering comes loaded with forty-nine keys, putting more than enough notes beneath your fingers while striking an optimal balance between size and potential. On top of that, you get the full control gambit: faders, encoders, performance pads, a complete master section and a set of pitch and modulation wheels. Basically, if you're looking for more hands-on control over your DAW, or need a DIN-MIDI-capable controller for your older rack modules, this is the ideal chunk of hardware
