Yes the touch ribbons are finicky or just don't work as designed but the 25-key model is still a very cool controller for your NI stuff. New price dropped to $299. Great deals on the used market. If you need 49 or 61 keys then buy the MK2 versions.
Excellent keybed, great tactile controls, super integration with NI stuff (🇩🇪), killer combo with Maschine (the most fun I've had with hardware in a long time) 😍 🎹 👍
