Compact Midi keyboard for the Live

I was thinking of grabbing a compact midi keyboard controller to fit the form factor for the Live specifically and need help recommending some. Does it help having an Akai branded midi controller as the routing might be easier and control more parameters on something in the mpk series or would something like NI's komplete kontrol be good? Does anyone know if the light guide (on the KK) work while hooked up to the mpc live btw? Any other good ideas lets hear em thanks

I tried samson graphite but it is not good, it cuts the note as you switch octave. Horrible.
Anyone tried Akai Lpk25?

I've always liked the look on this controller. No nonsense with a little of everything on it.
Not traditional keys but I still like the look, have never touched it though.
