I would recommend against the old Oxygen because of the hassles you
get with having to install special firmware on every machine you want
to use it. I don't know, if the v2 version still needs this, but for
the old one it's an unnecessary pain. Thankfully M-Audio's newer
USB-midi devices don't do this silly stuff anymore.
