I'll echo what somebody else said about the Mackies - they're pretty
much bomb-proof. I've had the original 1202 for 20+ years, subjected
it to all sorts of abuse, and it still works fine. I think their
smaller mixers actually sound better than their big boards.

However, for keyboards I love Rane mixers. You might take a look at
the Rane MLM-82. This is a 1U stereo line mixer with four stereo line
ins and four mono mic/line inputs. Here's a description of how I have
it integrated into my rack:
