I reckon any grid pattern keyboard layout would do the trick then just sticker it up and map your keys to functions in Ableton.

Best price/layout looks like typematrix: http://www.typematrix.com/

Quite tempted by one if these myself. Cheapest one is about 60USD so plenty cheaper than an APC/monome!

this kind of keyboard is so nice! Anyone knows if you could program say two or three of the rows to send midi? I'm thinking buttons for cliptriggering and three rows for actually midipaying of instruments.
