I'm looking for a keyboard with a 1v oct CV out. I need something cheap and usable. Not a lot of extra features.

Depending on how many keys you want....

Get a Rock Band keyboard controller -- also a battery powered MIDI keyboard -- and a MIDI to CV of some flavor. There are decent schematics out there if you can DIY.

Microbrute has CV and gate out. Might be more than you want to spend, though.

If you want cheap and basic then I think a midi keyboard + midi to CV would indeed be the best solution.
I actually have no idea if 1V/Oct keyboards are available unless it is built into a synth like alan mentioned.
And if they are available I bet they are a lot more expensive than a midi keyboard. As an extra bonus
you could connect a lot of other things to a midi to CV converter too.
