Sounds painful.

Not checked it in the mirror this morning but I sure hope not.

Looks a bit wobblier than usual.

Thanks for adding the video. I haven’t used a Model series in a while but they were a little wobbly from what I remember. That seems more on the wobblier side than usual but depends on the amount of force being used, which I can’t tell from the video.

To be honest, I was expecting excellent quality.
I asked users, and for many owners the model cycles\samples is a bit wobbly.

To be honest a bit of wobble is present on loads of pieces of hardware, many costing a great deal more than a Model. Not necessarily defending them but they are a range of music-making machines which are on the budget-friendly side. In an ideal world no knobs would wobble but it’s more acceptable on a £300 device than a £3000 one.
