Size and robustness of buttons

Post by RKfan »

Can anyone tell me what are the dimensions of the buttons on the kronos - having not seen one in the flesh (and had the chance to press them) they look quite thin and although the LEDs in them look fantastic - I wondered how strong they are (I wouldn't want them to break)?

Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere (or if I missed the specs on the product website)

And how is the feel? are they "spongy" as in the M3 (they feel weird somehow, hard to describe, would be better if they were "harder" to press down, you can press down the buttons on the M3 without actually pressing them before you here the "click" which is probably the cause to the "sponginess")

The button design is completely different from the M3. These have a nice, satisfying click.

I You played the Korg M1 you will find Kronos very similar on the buttons touch feeling.
Durable but not futuristic, ok, fine but nothing else.Lol!
