Useful but has issues

I've had my Axiom 49 for a long time and I still use it a lot on a daily basis. It gets the job done pretty well. That being said I've always noticed that all the controls on the keyboard are very flimsy and don't always respond the way you'd want them to. Especially with the buttons and knobs. The knob don't feel when using them, and random large jumps that weren't intended in the automation aren't uncommon. I find myself having to click a button multiple times to register, or it'll register one click as multiple. I've stayed away from the drum pads for the same reason, and that the velocity response always seemed off to me. The faders are good though, and same with the octave button, pitch and mod wheel. The Keys get the job done, buuuuut they don't feel the best to play, probably just a result of the semi hollow design. Lastly, although the interface can be confusing and not very intuitive, but it offers a wide arrange of possibilities that I have yet to fully learn, I still don't know too much about it. All this being said, I still like the keyboard quite a bit, despite all the little glitches I have with it, I still love using it, and can look past a lot of the issues, because it's still so goddamn useful, with it's built in software and variety. Decent midi keyboard you can get for pretty cheap these days
