I recently bought the Alesis Q49 for $98 on Amazon (with free two-day shipping with my free Amazon Prime Student account), and it works great. I recommend it.

Windows 7 (64 bit, was a little worried) detected it and had it working almost immediately after plugging it in the USB socket. It works great with FL Studio 9, and it came with Ableton Live Lite version 8, which has some great sounds.

No cons with it so far!

I would just like to state that for actual playing on a keyboard, you'd want to get at least one octave more than what that one gives you.
But yes, if you're only going to use it for inputting sequences to some music program, it is indeed rather cheap.

Yes, I don't play piano very much so this works perfectly for me.
