...I do require that a keyboard be precise, so that I can play the notes in accurately and without latency, including percussion.

Thanks for your help!

I can't comment on the keyboard itself, if it's midi capable then it should work ok, the problem is with this last statement. Simply plugging the PSR into your laptop you will hear so much latency it will be unusable probably around a half second or so. Windows uses what's called WDM but for some reason PG still uses the old name MME. MME hasn't been used for about 8 years now but it is WDM. This is your audio driver. MME works perfectly for Biab playback but terrible for live playing like what you're asking about because of the latency. You have to use ASIO for that. There's a free download that a lot of us use called ASIO4All you can Google it easily enough. Depending on what you're using as a softsynth ASIO4ALL can get that latency down to around 10ms or so which is good for live playing. The other way to get ASIO is to buy a good interface, all of them now come with their own version of ASIO. The bad news here is Biab can be tempermental when setting up ASIO but it does work, just a bit confusing at first. Another choice is to use the sounds in the PSR because it's hardware, no latency at all if the sounds are good enough for you so no need to mess around with ASIO. That means you're not using the audio output from your laptop, you use your headphones or audio cables directly from the PSR.
