is this how they are or was this just a quark of the demo unit?
That is the same Fatar keyboard I had in my Kawai K5000s. I loved the matte finish keys. The idea was to make it similar to the sharps on a real piano keyboard. It was the first thing I noticed different between that and the TI2 Polar which I bought. I wanted the smaller keyboard, so I went with the Polar. That keybed is the best synth keyboard ever made, IMHO.
