“An exceptional keyboard in every respect. The sound, the feel of the keys, and the performance are all of the highest quality.”

“I like the heavy feel. The extra surface area is welcome too; suspected I wouldn't miss the ten key. The right arrow key seems to skip at times, as if I pressed it twice, but maybe it's a fault of my own.”
