Feature:
Loads of buttons, knobs, features, presets, etc. Works MIDI and USB.

Quality:
Mine broke after 4 months. D and G# keys stopped working through USB, and when plugged in via MIDI the controllers would not record in ProTools.

Value:
As long as you don't have problems with it I suppose your fine. But if you have to ship it in, get ready for shipping charges at very least and if it does go out of warranty after 12 months...you then get hit with labor charges.

Desirability:
I'm pretty sure based on my experience with support I won't buy any more M-Audio equipment. 4-month old equipment shouldn't have problems and an owner shouldn't have to pay for shipping or labor to have it repaired if it does break.

Sound:
Works fine for controlling other MIDI units. Touch response is decent. The extra control knobs, faders, and pads are nice.

Ease of Use:
Works out of the box, but to get the most out of it you should spend some time on the website and forums to get presets and other nice functionality.

Support:
Miserable excuse for support. When you submit a problem, they rattle off items from the Knowledge Base as if we can't look those up and perform them ourselves. And then when those have been exhausted, it's a 4-week turnaround for repair and the owner (YOU) have to pay for shipment both ways. Buy crap, get crappy service.

Overall:
All in all, if it works and you don't have problems it's a good piece of equipment to have in the studio...but keep your fingers crossed because the support people at M-Audio don't have it.

Overall:
I've been pounding on this fella for two years and haven't had a thing go wrong with it. It is simple to use and easy to control. LOVE IT.

Feature:
This product has great features and gives me excellent control. I like how it's powered via USB.

Quality:
It's okay... nothing too bad. As far as I've used it, it's pretty dependable.

Value:
Great price.

Desirability:
The features all appealed to me and made me want to get it. As far as aesthetics go, the Axiom is fairly good looking with cool rubber pads on the sides as walls.

Sound:
does not have sound

Ease of Use:
Once you get going with it, the Axiom is really quite simple.

Support:
none needed

Overall:
Great price; however, the keys stick once in a while. The touch is kind of awkward.

Feature:
9x Sliders, 8x 360 degree nobs, 8x drum pads, came with a usb cable.

Quality:
Unreal quality - it's the best build at this price you will ever find. It's got a solid feel.

Value:
The Axiom 61 could have easily been priced higher. Way more features and quality than other manufacturers that are at higher prices.

Desirability:
It's awesome for your home studio, but it doesn't have any sex appeal. I wouldn't flaunt it's looks at a live performance. But the sides are made of these rounded rubber pads with "M-Audio" carved in them - looks cool.

Sound:
Aftertouche, you can set velocity, tons of controllers, nice feel to the pitch and mod wheels. Good control over your midi sounds.

Ease of Use:
Fairly easy setup with Enigma software (download free from M-Audio)

Support:
There are known problems with the driver (which you don't really need since the Axiom is class compliant--plug and play). But M-Audio typically is fairly helpful on the phone.

Overall:
This keyboard will always have a place in my mini studio, but I will probably buy another small controller without semi-weighted keys.

Feature:
plenty of nobs for progamming

Quality:
could have been more solid

Value:
best thing for your money in my opinion

Desirability:
could look better not bad

Sound:
lots of programming to curve sound to work the wat you want with your music application

Ease of Use:
fairly eay to use and program considering all that can be done with programming keys

Support:
no need for it yet

Overall:
good product for the money definitly

Feature:
a ton of features for midi control

Quality:
the keyboard sucks really badley , spongy feel , not the slightest bit weighted but there again that is the same for most m-audio keyboards , only slightly better than the average korg synth keyboard.

Value:
features are good let down by a cheap nasty keyboard , too bad i'd rather see it priced $100 more and a better keyboard ( READ: novation)

Desirability:
no i dont

Sound:
it doesnt have sound , therefore i wont comment

Ease of Use:
fairly self explanitory if you have basic knowledge of midi controllers. good documantation

Support:
no experience here

Overall:
read above as per value
