which controller keyboard?

[_brian_]

Hey lads I need a little help. Originally I was wanting an upright piano but it is going to be almost impossable to get one into my flat, so I'm stuck with the synthetics.

I only have around £200 to spend at the moment so I was going to try and get the best 88 key fully weighted hammer-action controller keyboard for that. I have a decent virtual piano so thought this was probably the best way to go about it.

I tried a fully weighted fatar controller a while back and was impressed but I can't remember the model number and to be honest the whole controller keyboard market has accererated passed me. So if you can help with any suggestions, I really just am after the closest as I can get to the weight & feel of a real piano, I don't care about any other features like pitch wheels or buttons or more ins & outs.

I am realistic however and know that £200 give or take wont fool me into thinking I'm sitting at a real piano, but like I said - as close as possible!!

Cheers again everyone

Studiologic is the closest in that price range for me.

any opinions from anyone? model numbers etc?

is there any reason to increase my budget or will an extra £50 or £100 not make any real difference in this price range?

thanks

I am using a Novation Remote SL 25 and its great! It has heaps of sliders, buttons, and knobs to assign to whatever you like, depending on what software you're running. Its only a 2octave synth so if you are performing wider stuff than that might not be for you, though its fine for programming.
