Where can I find a good plain USB keyboard, preferably around 61 keys which has no speakers or whatsoever in it and has to plug into the PC and play using software??? And what softwares should I use??? I need one that feels good and like a real keyboard... What brand is good and where can I look for such keyboard???

you mean feels like a real piano? Because keyboards really have no feel, just plastic keys. If that's what you're looking for i highly recommend the keystation from M-Audio. Mine is the 49 key version but there is a 61 key too. Price is good not too expensive and very very basic. Volume control, pitch and mod wheel and octave buttons and an advance function which i still havent figured out what it does. But thats about it. USB 2.0 no noticable latency. Great device actually.

But if you're looking for weighted keys then I don't know. I'm not a pianist so i can't really judge

Yeah, the M-Audio Oxygen/Keystation/Axiom 61 is a good place to start. You can get them at SMX, located at 7th floor of SMX.

I bought my keystation 49e (or e49?) in germany for about RM 200. But in msia i think it should be cheaper.
No idea where SMX is
