Ahhh it looks even more dope in a non comercial photo...

rocks back and forth and repeats to himself "I will not be fooled by appearance it is not the 3000".

New knobs?

Just got my Style Flip skin yesterday. Not too bad but not perfect. And yeah I forgot to take the damn 'Powered by MCS' sticker off when I put it on. I actually had it half peeled off waiting to put that side down and completely forgot to grab it when I laid down the skin hah.

Nice, you should be able to lift and re apply the skin if the bubble is getting to you I lifted mine a couple of time to get it all perfectly aligned as I could..

Just search for aluminium encoder knob, I did see various colours on there but be sure to get the all aluminium ones as some of the knobs that have plastic cores won't allow for capacitive operation of the q-links..

That's what it says on the akai website, but someone over here wrote that his One Retro had a older OS on it. So that's no certainty I guess. However, its seems logic that the regular Ones probably definitly won't have 2.8 or 2.9 pre-installed simply because they came out earlier. But, as said before, you can update the OS so it shouldn't be a big issue.
