Just my opinion but I use the very affordable (under $50) Korg nanoKONTROL2 midi controller to control Cubase and my 25-30 year old Yamaha PSR38 keyboard. It works good for both of these requirements. Of course it is small, only has a few sliders and knobs, doesn’t really look that cool but, it does the job I originally wanted it for which was to have real time control when using my favorite vst (VB3) with this old keyboard. I use Velcro tape to hold it on the keyboard where it stays most of the time but the Velcro allows me to move it to my workstation desktop every so often when I want to use it to control CB.
Have fun finding what you want… and yes, I know I should purchase a new keyboard/workstation but, I really like this old PSR38. Maybe one of these days I will upgrade…
