A nice mechanical computer keyboard gives you 100+ keys at much lower cost than a dedicated DAW controller with nasty rubbery buttons.
The issue is the software - and it is probably a OS issue rather than a reaper issue - but surely someone has tried to do this?
Failing that I'm interested in recommendations for a DAW/MIDI controller with lots of buttons and space to label them!

I use with REAPER a "Flirc" IR receiver that appears as a second keyboard.

While I can run REAPER from my drums that are across the room, REAPER still has to have focus for it to see the keyboard keystrokes coming in, otherwise they go to whatever has focus.
Using the midi transport controls on my Akai MPD26 pad controller will control REAPER whether it has focus or not.
