Great price but I wonder about the quality at that price.

I guess Arturia use to have a bad reputation for the quality of their controllers.

They’re pretty good now. Got two of their Mini 3’s.

Got one and am about to sell it. Could be useful as an extension for key-switching, additional controls, etc, but not as the main controller.

Over a year since they launched the first MK3 controller and even now they're still only halfway through releasing the full range. They really are a bizarre company at times.
