I had the privilege of playing with the Push 3 a few weeks ago. If you owned a Push before, it’s exactly what you think it is: basically the Push you always wanted. The fact that it’s a standalone device now is brilliant. So is the built-in battery. Just super, super convenient.
Controls are mostly self-explanatory. It has a fantastic tutorial when you first use it; overall a really polished experience. The MPI on the pads is very impressive, although I didn’t spend enough time to see how useful I personally will find it. The build quality is awesome though. That large wheel on the top right has the slickest horizontal shift movement I’ve ever experienced on a knob.
What do you think about the materials of the device? The Push 3 looks amazingly interesting to me but the 2 has a lot of comments about plastics not ageing well. It's not a device one would want to replacer anytime soon, so I'm really wondering if it will last basically.
The one I played was flawless, but that ofc is a sample size of 1.
My Push 2 also has one rotary knob that doesn’t rotate as well and it always annoyed the hell out of me. The plastics did age well on my Push 2 though.
I'm sceptical. I own a Push 2 and the build quality is not terrible, but not awesome either. For example, every knob has a different resistance (how hard it is to turn) and sensitivity (how much you have to turn to change a parameter).

It’s just slick. And yes, I just ordered one :D.
