Novation 49SL MKIII

I bought this particular controller on January 2021. So I've had it for a good two years and I still keep finding new ways to incorporate this into my music-making process. I started out with Ableton and the controller integrates into Live's workflow perfectly: recording, editing, adjusting plugins (or devices, rather) and overall controlling volumes, mutes and all. Then I slowly graduated to using the SL49 MkIII as a "brain" for my current setup with hardware synths, and it's working wonders. For the type of noise, I'm indulging in at the moment, this workflow is even faster and more intuitive than Ableton (which is very fast once you learn the ropes). Basically now I fire up the gear and press record and keep going ad infinitum. As a cherry on top, I just updated Components, the librarian/editorial software from Novation and had some minor hiccups. One quick email to Novation's support and I got an instant reply and a solution to a very strange problem (Mac OSX related). So even on the support front, this is a fast, easy-to-operate experience. For the money, can't recommend this enough.
