This. If you only need a pad controller, there are a ton of options. If you want to use a controller to control things in Reaper, a used Maschine MK2 would be a much cheaper (and better) bet. They run about $170 used, and that's cheaper than Mikro MK3, with great pads, two much bigger screens, and 8 encoders to assign how you want.
Plus you get the benefit of the Maschine plugin, or standalone (assuming the license transfer is included, which it usually is easy to do).
