+1 I purchased a Keylab 61 and I have forced myself to make it last. I hate this keyboard so much. The keys feel cheap and I have had to repair keys multiple times, the pads are horrible no matter how you try to adjust them. Finally a key won't sound on the keyboard any more and I am finally giving it my way out to a better keyboard.

I have wanted to get a Komplete 49 mk2 since I use so much of Komplete, but I have this feeling that they should be releasing an mk3 version any day now and I don't want to purchase the day before they release the new version.

I have an Akai MPK mini and I absolutely LOVE the feel of the pads on that thing. So I have been leaning to possibly going with an Akai and giving that a go.
