Any MIDI or USB MIDI keyboard will do - and even no keyboard at all: the MPC is self-sufficient or can play well with others.

Strangely, Akai MIDI keyboards with MPC have no advantage over other MIDI keyboards: no dedicated profiles, no automatic configuration - nothing: notes are plug & play, and usually the sliders too, but further configuration requires a detour via the MPC's MIDI learn feature... No big deal - it works.
