Bluetooth and or USB compatible keyboards (Roli, etc.)

Can anyone confirm keyboards they have that work with the MPC live and MPC X? I have a Roli seaboard block that I will try out, but I don't believe that it is bluetooth compatible as the Roli website says the units require OS X or iOS.

Akai Advance 49

Artruia keystep.

Roland boutiques can work but you have to mess with it some for usb.

The live with the usb buss power is awesome. I hate being cooped up in the house when it's nice out, not an issue anymore for me.

The Roli seaboard blocks works over bluetooth, no lag at all. The Roli seaboard rise 25 works but has a massive lag. I have a call into Roli to see if they have different bluetooth chips or if anything else is different that would make this happen. I did notice that the MPC says error did not connect to the rise 25, but then actually connects...maybe there is just some issue with my specific rise 25. The rise 25 works with no lag over USB

In case anyone is interested, I have the roli bluetooth connected to the akai mpc live, and the din midi port of the live out to a novation peak and it works great. I wish the roli rise 25 would work over bluetooth as it has the faders and xypad that you can assign CC to.

Didn't alot of people on the forums here say that bluetooth isn't even working yet.
