That said, perhaps some older keyboard owners (e.g. KMAC 1/1.2/LE) could appreciate something like this.

Is there a particular reason why cone feet aren't considered good anymore? I could see them not being trendy just as a matter of design, but is there any negative way they impact sound profile? Sorry new to the topic/haven't listened to many.

I wouldn't think the shape would impact sound profile at all. I think the design is just outdated, and because they are inexpensive and anodized aluminum instead of something nicer (solid brass or stainless steel, or cerakoted, for example), they are just associated with being cheap and low-value.

The market got flooded with cheap knock-offs and while there's nothing wrong with them they became the norm so the trend changed.

Would be keen to hear your feet on a board!
