Video Game Reviews of Rock Band 3 - Keyboard Stand for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii
Customer Review: Initial impressions...
Summary: 5 Stars
But I did receive the stand and wanted to release my initial impressions. I should be getting the keyboard next week and I'll edit my review then.
First impressions:
The quality of the stand is top-notch; the frame is comprised of tubular metal and the rubber feet are textured and grooved for non-slip performance. The metal cradle utilizes thin strips of foam to support the keyboard gently and presumably to prevent scratching on the bottom of the keyboard. The vertical portion of the stand is braced on a T-frame and seems quite sturdy; there is no danger of buckling in the frame that I could discern.
The stand itself is adjustable with a push-button / slide assembly. This is a little hard to slide, but I don't plan on moving it much once I've set it to a height that's comfortable. Heights appear to range from something that would make it easy for a 6-year old to operate the keyboard to a height that would be comfortable for someone who is about 6' tall to operate the keyboard.
I'm actually tempted to rig this as a steering wheel platform at its lowest height with the use of a 2 x 4. I'll report on this later as well.
Overall, it appears to be a perfect accessory for the RB3 keyboard. I will update my review once I receive it and perform a mock test by tickling the keys a bit. Stay tuned.
** EDIT Received keyboard on 10 / 8 / 2010 **
I received the keyboard and put it on the stand. Played with the keys and simulated some of the warble game play on the keyboard itself. The stand is pretty sturdy, even with aggrssive side-to-side movements. The game won't be delivered until 10 / 26 / 2010, but I still give the stand 5 stars!
** EDIT Stand Modification on 10 / 11 / 2010 **
I would recommend placing the brackets on the stand in the opposite direction then what is shown in the directions. Otherwise, the keyboard has a tendency to "ride up" on the sloped bracket when tickling the ivories.
** EDIT Stand During Gameplay on 10 / 26 / 2010 **
The stand during gameplay does wobble a little, especially when you distort notes with the touch pad during gameplay. However, it never wobbled alarmingly or led me to believe that anything was unstable. The stand help up quite well during 4 hours of gameplay. I stand behind the recommendation to get it, just be sure to modify it as I noted on 10/11/2010.
