Small headaches, Big Reward
I bought the Axiom 25 for use primarily with Garageband (3). What sold me on the Axiom (above other similarly priced controllers), was the combination of the pads and the transport controls. In all honesty I would have gone with Korg's padKontrol if the Axiom didn't have these features.
So with great anticipation I tried to install the driver software, after a little frustration and reading I found there was no need, I should be able to fire up GB and start playing around. While this was the case, the playing around didn't do all the things I had dreamed.
Primarily, the transport controls didn't seem to work. So I had to set off to the internet, and not M-Audio's website, which held little useful information, to try to determine if the problem could be solved. Fortunately another person had gone through the same thing and posted a PDF how-to on their site explaining how to make the transport controls work. In short you'll need an additional (free) piece of software called GarageRemote. After a little playing around with this utility I was up and running.
The features on this keyboard are fantastic, I especially like the aftertouch controls which didn't make much sense to me until I started using them. The drum pads are a little insensetive, and I would like the keys to be more sensetive as well, but I believe I can control that with software.
Overall this keyboard (or any in its family) are a pretty good value and are loaded with useful features, even if setup isn't necessarily as smooth as one would like.

Love at First Sight
Wow, this midi controller is the best. I just got a few hours ago and I am instantly in love with it. I am a beginner producer and this midi controller has taken my production skills to a whole new level. It works the best with Frutiy Loops studio which is the best, easiest and versatile production software in the universe. For all people just starting in the production game all you need is this midi controller and fruity loops studio and your set. The only thing after these two items is a full feature studio.
What I love about the product is the inclusion drum pads and the feel of it and also the feel of the keys. I love the size of the product and love the ease of snycing the product with Fruity Loops Studio and I gotta say I love the price tag. It's worth it. Please get it ASAP.

Awesome Keys, Crappy Encoders
The best feature (in my oppinion) is the action of the keys themselves. They really feel good when you're playing. The worst feature would have to be the rotary encoders (the twist knobs). If you need to record any kind of precise parameter changes than this is not the controller for you. If that's the case, I would highly reccomend an M-Audio Oxygen. The Oxygen has much more accurate response as far as the controller knobs go, but the keys don't have the same feel. If you're mostly playing notes and not changing your parameters as much, the Axiom is great. But if you need to make precise changes, go with an Oxygen. They're about the same price.

Feels GOOD!
Not only is this keyboard the coolest looking controller ever, it's so easy to use. The touch sensitive drum pads sound awsome and feel great. Now the Axiom 25 is not as compact as most other controllers, but you will have loads of fun with this guy!

Great sketch pad
The size is perfect for quick sketches. The keyboard feels good, the drum pads feel right and the other controllers appear to be high quality. This unit is a great bang for your buck purchase.
