I'm enjoying GarageBand, but trying to do the "musical typing" thing is making me crazy! Can anyone recommend an affordable piano-style keyboard that would plug into my Mac Mini? Many thanks...

I did a little research and found this page of information:

And this keyboard as recommended:

Hopefully, someone with experience can give you some input here.

Hello Radiance!

I have heard that the 49 Keystation Keyboard is a hit or miss. Some people have problems with the keys just dying. I have the 61es Keystation by the same company. It works great with Garage Band. People have better luck with this one than the 49. I hope that helps.
