My guess would be that the packaging will be different and hopefully more robust after the limited edition packaging runs out.
But itās not all shipping related. Things have gone wrong after it arrived in working condition.

I would guess that it still is shipping related. That can happen.
10 to 1 you would have said something in this thread if yours arrived not fully functional or became faulty afterwards. But yeah, a different thread for those who have no issues is also understandable.

I think one can trust each otherā¦for me the fadergate caught my attention because Iāve ordered from TE and therefore immediately stopped watching reviews and any info about it. If theyād ship it out I think there would be no problem or at least a nice short experience with the unit but the attention lead to the conclusion that iam fine and therefore safe someone from dragging this over just for me to open it and send it back. resources though 
the not sampling while playing took me off and iam fine with that, overall its a fun Unit though.
I may get one when someone doesnāt know about fadergate and sells it for bits.
iam glad Elektron did 1.70 for the Rytm the same time last week

Because a ton of people had devices that arrived broken. Itās not a shitshow, this is actually the most civilized thread about a device with this many problems Iāve ever seen.

Totally. Peeps crush so hard over TE. Proof is in how forgiving this thread has been.

fair point of course. Mine works (so far) but the packaging was atrocious (via UPS) and the box was creased up and the inner TE packaging material that holds the unit was smashed in on one corner. Iām only mentioning it here now as thatās mostly what this thread has descended into.
The packaging is cheap and crap. End of. Nice photo though.
edit: and who knowsā¦ maybe after a few more hours the unit fails on me too.

Is this an actual restock or do they just expect more to come soon?
I have an order running at a local store who expects to receive some either this or next week.
Thinking of ordering from Sneaker store to see which one gets here quicker & cancel/return the other one.
Any experiences with this ?

Sorry no idea

Teenage Engineering are the most popular manufacturer aside from Elektron on this forumā¦ If views are anything to go by. Doesnāt anyway else feel this a bit weird?
gotta go to SYSTEM > PADS > KEY or SCA

IMO this is a pretty civilized discussion of the unit. Both pros and cons. Good things and things to be improved. I think itās been a great resource for people on and outside of Elektronauts visiting for different opinions.

So this is embarrassing but sharing the info for interested parties:
I was doing some cleaning and accidentally used a cleaner on my K.O.II that had acetone in it (in case you donāt know it does NOT mix well with plastics). Anyway I smudged my screen and needed a replacement. I reached out to TE support and it looks like they have purchasable replacement screen parts. If they are planning more units in this form factor that makes sense to have as a spare part and I think thatās great.
