Hello, I'm planning to buy "M-Audio Axiom A.I.R. Mini 32" but on the specs page it's written that this keyboard is compatible only with Win XP, Win 7, Win Vista and Mac.
So, can I use it with Win10?Would there be any problems or something?

Only M Audio can tell you this, unless there's someone here who uses one successfully with Win 10.

The driver page says it supports Windows 10.

Looking on the internet, I see that there is at least 1 upset customer regarding this keyboard/controller - evidently with W10. Suggested that there is a problem regarding W10 turning USB link off if not used for a while, and no easy way to turn it back on again.

The problem seems to be with W10 specifically. As far as W10 is concerned, this may be a legitimate power saving 'feature', but it causes problems with this device.

Don't know if a new driver might be released. There is a later (?) driver that specifically mentions W10.

As stated, you need to check with M-Audio, or one of the larger re-sellers.
