The keybed of the keyboard is made by Fatar and offers fully wieghted, hammer-action keys.
Other notable upgrades include a four-directional push encoder, eight touch-sensitive knobs, ergonomic pitch and mod controls, an assignable touch-sensitive smart strip, and dedicated MASCHINE controls with access to Scenes, Patterns, and Tracks. In sum, for this price it's an affordable piano that can do almost all that I need, so I'm happy with it and I hope it lasts so many years.The Native Instruments KOMPLETE KONTROL S88 MK2 builds upon the success of the original with an updated user interface featuring two high-resolution displays and more buttons for faster direct control over parameters. I think this type of units can have more controls, as it has two big empty frames on each side, but it happens the same with the S series. No aftertouch, which in 2019 should be a standard in this kind of hardware. The little screen is useful but it should be at least bigger or similar to the layout of the S series MK1. The clicking sound from the buttons is really loud, really. It's quite heavy and bulky, so you need a lot of space for it. Also, I need no mapping at all, I love plug and play things without messing around with configuration files and so on :) I can control some basic features from Studio One which is what I was looking for.
Another good point are all transportation buttons that it has, useful for DAW and also for the Komplete Kontrol plugin. It reminds me the feeling of a real piano, it's no so plasticky and looks like a premium unit. The good point are the keys and seamless integration with all Komplete products I have.
I bought this piano after comparing all 61 keys midi controllers, and this seems to be the one with the best integration in Studio One.
