Good Midi Controller Keyboard? (Nuendo, SX)

[OSX86]

I don't want to spend too much.

Need enough keys to map out something like DigiStrike or EWQLSO Plat, would like weighted or semi, a 16 velocity PAD would be helpful (drums) and somewhat of a mixer map to control SX and Nuendo (or LE depending on what happens in the next few weeks (grin).

I suppose I could do with less keys if it meant less money.

Don't need a mixer, have semi-high end pre's, but would like a controller and keyboard. Have a Oxygen 8, had a yamaha but it was more of a synth and could not control mixer movements (can not remember the model...RS8?) and sometimes the 61 keys where not enough. But I can make due I think as long as I can play a piano part (chords/melody) and control vst instruments, mixer, and if possible drum pads!

Thank you very much!

Looks cool, can you use it as a controller for mixing?

Looking too though for a semi weighted for more realistic piano performance though. Still, I might check it out.

Thanks
