Well said Diki, my sentiments exactly. I don't profess to be a great or even a good player (I get by), but it's hard to progress beyond a certain standard on poor quality keys. It is only because we all just accept the low quality of our boards that they stay this way. I've noticed a steady decline in the quality of keyboards/synths over the last few years. If they sell like hotcakes anyway, why should companies waste profit making them better?
