cheapest way to get a midi controller?

[Jsn7821]

I was borrowing my friends controller for a long time, and he took it back

but i was just looking at ones to purchase, and it seems anything decent is upwards of $150.... im not that serious about it, i just played around with a version of reason that i got with my delta soundcard.

My question is - whats the cheapest midi controller I can get? Where should I look? Can I use my own computer keyboard for one?

Some programs allow you to use your computer keyboard but Reason is not one of them. If you're willing to drop $50, this will allow you to input midi into Reason via the USB port on your computer.
