I recently purchased a S49 MK3 and its much more noisy then I had expected. The whole housing creaks and makes crackling noises when I press buttons or keys. I play with a light touch with my velocity curve set to soft 3 and even with that I struggle to hit full velocity so I'm not pressing hard at all.
My Maschine MK3 doesn't seem to have any issues and seems solid. I have much less expensive keyboards that seem much more sturdy and much less noisy.
Is this normal? I'm currently waiting for support to assist with returning this keyboard but I'd like to know if other people had similar experiences and I got unlucky or maybe I should look elsewhere for a premium keyboard.
