    Well I had no chance to get my hands on an Ableton Push yet, but it looks awesome.
    Besides that the Launchpad of course is nicely made to ableton and the out of the box mappings work great.
    The Midi Fighter (there are many types) some of them have Ableton mappings out of the box, but of course any MIDI controller can be mapped to work with Ableton. So a lot of it is personal choice. The Midi Fighters really take abuse, so if you are a hard button pusher, those arcade buttons work great and config software is really good.
    I have no experience with the NanoPad, but I have a Vestax Pad that is reasonably cheap and works great for smaller things. I had to map it myself however…

    Ableton 9 has a lot to offer customisation wise for mapping controls, so there is a learning curve, but also good tutorial videos…

    If the PUSH is out of your price range look into getting either a Novation Launchpad-S or the Akai APC-20 or
    Akai APC-40

    The APC-40 will give you control over all the fader/knob controls but the launchpad gives you a more playable pad section. It all depends on how you are going to use Ableton.

    I think its discontinued but I would die if something happend to my BCR 2000 by Behringer…Check to see if you can find any stock anywhere….

    Why?

    Besides the amount of physical controls (32 knobs, 16 buttons + 8 knob-push buttons x 32 preset banks) which cant find ANYWHERE in this price range (most controllers feature the typical 8 fader – 8 knobs = 16, + 8 buttons ) its midi messages are fully customisable.

    Totally recommended!
