It might seem like a stupid question, but is it possible to get some kind of cheap keyboard to plug into one’s pc? The reason I ask is because my friend likes their Minimoog V product and is planning on purchasing it. I would (probably will) purchase an actual Minimoog, but some people cannot afford that option. What is a decent low priced keyboard to control it?
My friend has one of these Oxygen 8’s… he likes it…

plus you get some handy knobs to tool around with… give it a more realistic hardware feel…apparently…
I second the suggest for an Oxygen-8 keyboard. The 8 continuous controller knobs can be easily mapped to filters, envelopes, lfos, etc. It is excellent for both live performance and studio. May be a bit steep at $140 (usd) but well worth it.

Boeing 737-400, don’t you already have a Voyager? Why would you purchase a classic Minimoog too? I currently own a Voyager and have owned 2 classic minis in the past. The Voyager covers all the ground of the classic minis as far as I’m concerned. I know this will probably open up a debate (I don’t want to get into that). However, I think having both is a bit redundant. I feel it’s better to spend $1500-$2000 on a synth like the Arp 2600 or something that has a different flavor since you’ve already got a Moog and Pro-one(if I’m not mistaken). If you are a collector/musician and want to have it all then disregard my post 
I think both options are a bit too expensive, they’re not for me anyway, but I would like one! I presume I can control it with my Voyager, but that’s a bit too big to have on my desk! The Studiologic TMK-37 would be ideal.
I would like an original Minimoog because its a piece of history, and they do sound fatter than my Voyager. I’ve got a Prophet-5 lined up at the moment. I have been considering getting an ARP Odyssey, or 2600 for a while! I’m not definitely sure if I will get the Model D, if I had the money, I definitely would!
You can’t go wrong with these. RLs got a fine collection and I recently purchased the Odyssey Mk3 he had. Cost me a good chunk because of the exchange rate between US > UKP. If I had the cash I’d probably order another Voyager too 
You’ve got a nice machine there. 
Thats the problem with the Exchange rates, I could probably get a synth from america pretty cheap, but the delivery price is gonna be huge! At one point i did want the Anniversary Voyager, but what’s the point of having an identical synth with an extra knob? I want a Minimoog - Model D!
I have yet to play a Voyager, but I cut my teeth in the early 70’s on the MiniMoog, dreams of being the next Wakeman/Emerson and all. There are so many great (now vintage) instruments that many of us old timers dumped for new and better. I am also looking to get my old setup back which included ARP,B3, Mellotron and MiniMoog - although from the prices I have seen as of late I may have to consider getting a mtge.
I have been told that the sampled cd’s sound close, but again I have not heard any of them either.
