I don't know much about soft synths but you're going to need a midi controller, like these:

but remember, you're also going to have to buy (or maybe, "buy"

) some software that actually makes the sound.

Another thing - I've used MIDI through USB before, but there's a delay and it's very difficult to play that way. You might need to buy some fancy sound card MIDI thing (more $$$). Something to keep in mind.

What does your price range look like? If you give me an idea how much you want to spend, I could probably figure something out for ya. You really shouldn't waste your money on any stand-alone keyboard less than about $700 new.
