To be fair, and with all respect to those who have had these horrible experience with bad units - zero should be an option too.  I don't know if I'm a lucky one, but I have had no issues with mine.

..far out, I feel so silly now, I wish I had read this forum/thread before buying one.
I just opened up the box a little earlier today, and there was the busted and protruded C key staring me down from within the box.
it is not a good feeling at all, and my confidence of Arturia being a hardware vendor is shot, and blown out of the water ..

I voted three. The first had a busted C with the plastic lodged underneath making it useless. I returned it and received a second unit with the same problem plus two additional lifted, but working keys. I returned this, too, and decided to buy from an actual store. All the keys work on this unit, but three are lifted and look ugly. I don't have the time or patience to keep sending these back. Like Stefk, I wish I had read this before buying one. Hopefully I can record the rad audio before all the other keys eventually crap out on me.

BillCosby, 0 for 3.
