What PAD is ok?

Finger Drumming Gear / Software / Setup

Hy guys, my name is Agustín, im absolutely noob at this. This is my problem, im from argentina and i need a cheap pad and also i dont know if the options i ve found are going to work as my idea is to pay Addictive Drums and play the pads trough it to Cakewalk (the offline version of BandLab).

I ve found as options a MIDI Akai Mini MK2 64 USB with 64 pads on it that the web says “for Ableton live” (i dont think it just works on Ableton or am i wrong?) for 155 dollars or a Maschine Mikro mk1/mk2 for 63 pounds with 16 pads on it.

What do you think about these options? Which is better? Am I going to be ok setting them up to Addictive Drums and then to Cakewalk? Or you think they are not compatible with that DAW or the addictive drums? Are both options supposed to come with a software to adjust sensivity and all the stuff? What do you think?

I would go for 16 pads to be honest. And it really depends on what you can find of course. A Maschine mikro could be good. I must say a mikro mk 1 or 2 for still 64 pounds it quite a lot. My guess is all imports of newer devices are super expensive? Something like an ESI Xjam is around $150 which is how many pounds? like 100?
