I was very curious as to if this http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/KSMini32/ will work with Ableton. I know you can make it work but I was wondering if it is fully compatible (switches and buttons). Thanks!

I don't own one of these personally nor do I know if it would work with Ableton, but what I can say from having used this keyboard before is I really dislike the way it feels and the velocity response is crap, but what can you expect for 50 bucks.
To me it is just a toy.

Point being if you are really going to rely on this keyboard save up and buy a better one.

If you are going for a cheap midi keyboard then buy a Korg Microkey 37. Amazing keyboard for that price, I'm using it.

Seconded. Great bang for bucks factor.

I used to have the korg microkey 37. Got rid of it because I felt really cramped with only 37 keys and it was difficult for me to play with the micro-keys. I sold it and upgraded to the M-Audio Keystudio 49-key. I personally wouldn't go below 49 keys, and I don't think you need more than 49 either. It's perfect for me. And they're regular size keys, which I like, but that will vary from person to person. If you don't want microkeys, I'd say this keyboard gives a pretty good bang for your buck. It was only like $99:

It also comes with Pro Tools SE. I've never used it because I assumed it's useless if it came with a $99 keyboard lol.

EDIT: But to answer your question, yes, that will work with Ableton. Pretty much any MIDI keyboard will work with any DAW, especially the big ones with few limitations like Ableton.

Is the Korg Microkey 37 small if form factor going from front to back? Im looking for something that can fit in front of my computer keyboard whilst giving me room to keep my arms.

What I'm asking is if the depth of the keyboard is short. Basically what I'm saying is will it fit in between my computer keyboard and my monitor while still giving me room for my wrists.

Niqqa its a keyboard it's like regular keyboard size. Korg microkey is obviously a little bit smaller.
