This is the prove that Kin does not take packaging lightly





Consider this as a buyer review, he does not disappoint at all!
It takes a while to deliver but boy it's worth it, don't worry this is not one of the TX1800, it's a TX3000 with some other stuff

but trust me, your waiting period will be paid well!

From the care Kin has taken with this GB I am not surprised it is so well packed. We are dealing with a a perfectionist here!

No worries for me, I waited for my keyboards from GON so I know what that entails.  For perfection the ONLY penalty is the waiting which is required especially when they finally arrive to your front door.

Kin25, just take your time because I know it shall be the absolute BEST 1800 keyboard that was ever made thus far  :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: .

Yesterday I finished the test of students.
Thanks for waiting.

But.. I have a trouble to control quality.
Factory made scratches again.
He said to me that he can't fix any more.

So.. I give you some choices.
(1) good quality housing.$300
(2) some scratched housing. $225
(3) Refund.

You can change and save the money.
(of course I will reduce loss)

Please let me know... If you want to change..

I recently switched to a red one, you said there was a limited amount of those, with that in mind a few questions:
1. Is there an option for red (good/okay quality?)
2. Will we know where the scratches are located prior to choice? Like if they're on the bottom side I wouldn't be upset but if they're on top it's not worth the savings to me.

Thanks!

I made 10 red housing again.
(good quality.. But I have to insert the helicoil in the hole)

Gray and silver...
The scraches are on the side.. 3~5 point.
The top looks good.

Yeah sure I'll take a scratched red one then if ya don't mind, I've made a few purchases recently so any savings really help me out. Unless you're still having to pay the same for them off the manufacterer I don't want you to take a loss. If that is the case I'll go for a non-scratched red for 300.

Sorry that's a big confusing basically:
If you aren't taking a loss on the scratched I'll take a red scratched.
If you are taking a loss I'll stick to a non scratched red.

I just reread your reply and I think I originally misunderstood you. You only have "good quality" red ones correct? Meaning if I got a red it's got no scratches and is 300 by default? If that's the case that's perfectly fine by me and I'll just leave things as they are!

Thanks!
