The Kronos X model started shipping well after the problems with the keybed on the original were solved. I'm not sure what the consensus on the forum from other members is, but I don't think I've heard of anyone with a Kronos X having that problem.

I purchased my Kronos 73 X 1 year ago (end of this month) and I have had no keybed issues at all (knock on wood).

Not completely solved imho. I have KX73 and F4 key clicks, although there is no actional problem. I didn't understand why it sounds like something loosened, however I have guarantee and I therefore keep my mind clean.

Go for it, Kronos is uncomparable on its land.

Cheers,

There's no valid reason not to update your OS to the latest version.
Not only will it fix specific bugs (which you might not have encountered yet); it also gives you new features like extra user banks and user sample streaming from your SSD.
