Instead of using a big GM Keyboard at a side or under a computer keyboard that I use to have, Creative managed to merged the two together with Prodikeys. I use it in FL Studio and it's simply awesome. The response time is under 40ms where as GM keyboards with a MIDI or USB cable can barely go under 100ms. It also comes with a plastic cover for the music keyboard for normal computer typing.

I bought it because being fed up with slow response time from a GM keyboard and because of the bulky size of one. The things that are bad about Prodikeys is the sensitive touch cannot be turned off, the velocity accuracy of the keys when playing is about 80%; sometimes you'll hit a key and it doesn't play the note or plays it too soft. Also, Prodikeys is not Vista or x64 compatible.

The PC Keys are laptop style, flat and big. The entire product is thick but takes up the same amount of desk space as a normal PC keyboard with a palm rest. It has function keys like all high-end PC keyboards, except the scroller on the left side is volume control, not window scroll.

I recommend this to anyone and everyone who wants to play a keyboard without buying a big GM one.
