It's the same keybed as the Alesis A6, so you might try that out.

I think it's a decent action, but doesn't seem to be quite as nice as
what the newer viruses use (I've only tried them briefly in the store
though).

[One thing worth mentioning is that the A6 seems to have truly awful
aftertouch response, but the PEK's aftertouch is as smooth as
butter... so don't be put off by that if you try the A6.]
