Mk3 Users – Has Your Keybed Gone Junk After a Week?!

I don’t know what the deal is but it’s been about a week now and so far, 2 keys have unusually become stiffer than the rest. It’s a weird feeling, kinda like bad hydraulics or something is the only way I can explain. I’m definitely returning it and I have another exchange that’s ready to picked up tomorrow so we’ll see if I just got a crap unit.

I’m not a mk3 user but bear in mind most people only join here when they have a problem with something, so most people who don’t have a problem won’t even be on this site. This can lead to responses being quite a bit lopsided. Bit like asking how many people in England had curry for dinner vs fish & chips by doing an exit-survey in the door of Indian restaurant.

Good thing I ain’t looking for people that aren’t having problems lol

Sadly, or maybe as an indication of how robust Arturia products generally are, this does seem to be the case in general, and looking at the ubiquity of them; it’s a pretty decent ratio.
Obviously you’re likely to feel different if you’re one of the unlucky ones.

Here on my 3rd unit. Same issue. Several keys feel stiffer than the rest. Maybe I’m just part of an unlucky batch, or maybe I’m nitpicking here but when I’m playing, not looking at the unit and stumbling across a certain chord and I’m prompted with the thought of “that’s the shitty key”, that’s a huge problem. In other words, it’s very noticeable. Whoever is doing quality control for these guys should really reconsider their profession.
