Dieses Keyboard ist zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung vor 3 Monaten erschienen und weist insbesondere für Windows-Nutzer noch einige Mängel auf.
Der Firmware-Updater funktioniert erst nach manueller Treiber-Installation (ohne dies ist das Keyboard nicht benutzbar), mein Sustain Pedal muss bei jedem Start des Keyboards neu eingestellt bzw. kalibiriert werden und auch die Verbindung mit dem USB-C Kabel ist nicht immer gewährleistet.
Zudem ist das Keyboard stand jetzt (Anfang Januar 2024) nicht einmal mit FL Studio kompatibel, obwohl dies laut Hersteller bereits vor Ende 2023 hätte geschehen sollen.
Alle diese Probleme könnten im Laufe der nächsten Wochen/Monate behoben werden, Stand jetzt würde ich von einem Kauf allerdings eher ab- und zur Geduld raten.
