"Well worth the money."

Feature:
The fundamental feature - the keyboard - works well indeed, and feels better (stiffer, springier) than I expected in this price range. I've only just begun using the knobs as controllers for virtual instruments, but it works quite well for that. The only extra that I might have wished for would have been some pads to use as drum controllers. I am a bit disappointed in the bundled Proteus X LE software, which I have not been able to get working. However, I didn't buy the XBoard for the software, so this is a minor issue.

Quality:
For the price, it seems a very solid unit.

Sound:
As it's not a sound module, this question isn't really relevant. However, the keyboard does control sounds, and to me seems quite responsive in terms of velocity and after touch.

Ease of Use:
Hook it up and go. Configuring the controller knobs can be a touch complex.

Support:
I have not needed support, so I can't answer that question.
