That's nice to hear.I personally don't see a need for super high quality in this case, "cheap and good enough" was the goal. (If I were gigging with it maybe I'd want something with at least the appearance of more toughness.)
I was simultaneously surprised at how inexpensive the Nektar pedals are (considering that nobody says they're bad), and how few cheap options there were for expession-pedal-to-MIDI converters that don't have horrible reviews and technical issues. I kinda expected it'd be the other way around.
Nektar is partly owned by our manufacturer. As a result it's easier for us to raise a fuss when there is an issue and we can charge a little less. We also make the expression pedals under a few other brands and common changes to the NX-P have also improved the pedals sold under our competitor's brands.
The expression pedals are simple, so there isn't much that can go wrong. A little maintenance can help extend the life... for example, just moving the pedal through it's full range from time to time, when it's not in regular use can keep those pedals working for years (I generally make the same suggestion about pitch/mod wheels). I've been using the same NX-P with my P6 at home for the almost 8-years.
NX-P is great for the studio. I prefer a Mission EP-1 or a Boss FV-500L for live use. They have metal housing, so more durable.
