I had this eKeys 37 keyboard since 2005, when I was running XP. I recently upgraded to Mac OSX and it was plug and play in garage band. I expected to have all sorts of driver issues cause it was so old, but it worked with no problems. Quality and price is reasonable. I believe I paid $40 for it from Muscians Friend. It's been used on/off for making sound effects in apps and dabbing in music (not a heavy duty user). Does its job and has lasted the test of time through 3 machines. Manufacturers always emailed me back with driver downloads when lost the drivers in 2007.

Evolution eKeys Keyboard Customer Review

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars

Does the job OK. Will probably keep it as is.
Sound
Sound produced is dependant on computer hardware and quality of speakers etc.
Manufacturer Support
Sound Studio is a complex piece of software to install and use. Had to solve installation and running problems (Windows XP) by trial and error. Evolution totally unhelpful in this respect.
The Wow Factor
Just a fairly useful addition to my set up.
