unforgivable.. Especially since H/Z had the same defect in the XB2! And
there were numerous complaints from players about it... Didn't they listen?
I bought the XK2 for its keyboard and put up with the beating issue, waiting
for H/Z to come up with a software correction, or for a better product to
appear. One did....
