Thinking of getting a mechanical keybaors but like none of them have media features except the xxxtreme edition gaming ones, and I'd like something more compact. so I ' m thinking of getting something like this

the most awesome thing about Propellerhead Reason when it first came out was that it even simulated wiring up your patch bank, turning knobs, and everything
