Micro X still have issues?

Post by Synthoid »

I've been interested in adding the Micro X to my collection. I've read various posts/reviews, and it seems that two issues come up with this unit--the joystick eventually malfunctioning and problems with the AC power connection on the back panel.

Are these still common problems or just isolated incidents?

Mine is more than two years old now and I have had no problems with either. I think it is a matter of perception, rather than reality.

The power input feels kind of flaky, but if you route the cable through the loop next to it as adviced by Korg I guess it'll hold out. I haven't heard any serious issues with this by the way.

I believe the joystick issues only came up with early units, it had something to do with a cable that got damaged by the joystick movement. But I'm not sure of this.

I've had many problems with my MicroX with no help from Korg. I would consider this keyboard a great concept, but mine has been trouble since the day I got it.

I've had it in for repair and been on the phone with customer support multiple times.

Still buggy.
