rolandfan do you know what version of the OS was in the keyboard. To some people this does seem to have made a difference (and too others not a lot).

Although in another thread spalding tested what the shop assistant claimed was the latest OS and it still seemed below par. spalding did you actually look at the OS version on power up to double check. Just a thought they may just have thought it was the latest.

All very confusing.

I am meant to be picking up one of these boards secondhand tommorrow, just getting slightly cold feet. I guess I really need to give it a fair trial. In the end I can always sell it on with minimal loss.

I have tried one with version 1.06 and had mixed feelings in the shop (love the key feel)- but then I find that no matter how long I spend trying it in the shop its no substitute for getting home and using it for a month. I just want to like it for the keys.

I hope spalding's hunch is not correct regarding quality control and hardware issues, this was in the back of my mind. The other thought was is it a difference between using headphones or monitors.

Guess I'll find out over the next few weeks.

Paul.
