Cons: Having spent time with Maschine, it's clear that Ableton still has a way to go before catching up with Native Instrument's total integration. It is possible to create a song from start to finish using only the Push 2, but the process is just more awkward and less intuitive. Prepare to spend a lot of time turning knobs on the Push 2 to navigate layer upon layer of cascading menus. Ugh.
Pros: Almost everything else. 64 pads allow you to have direct access to your drum/sample pads AND the sequencer interface simultaneously. When laying down drum beats or loops, the Push 2 let's my mind stay on the creative process... I often just get lost in the flow and am amazed at what I'm able to create when my creative process isn't interrupted constantly by a computer monitor and a mouse.
The MOST AMAZING and revolutionary feature of the Push, however, is that it is a competent and powerful replacement for a traditional MIDI keyboard. Notes are laid out in a way that is immediately intuitive to a guitarist, and should still feel natural to a pianist. Chords and intervals are reproduced across the entire pad by learning finger patterns. Gone are the mental gymnastics and rote learning required to translate chords and modes across musical keys on the physical keyboard - with Push, you simply dial in the key, mode, and octave, and let muscle memory do the rest.
Being a long time Native Instruments and Propellerhead user, I am much less happy with Ableton Live. Not my cup of tea. Even so, I feel that this was well worth the purchase price.

The initial setup took quite a while as need to enable push on the Ableton preferences, and there was a background firmware update going on. Aside from the initial setup Ableton is able to recognize push 2 the instant I turn in on.
Granted I live a few hours away, it was shipped and delivered to my house in less than 24 hours!
Upon opening, I knew immediately this was a brand new controller. The packaging was exquisite, all the stickers and protective material was perfectly assembled, and the Push is flawless.
I’m extremely happy with this purchase, I’m not downplaying others experiences but if you are contemplating it just buy it, you’re in safe hands with this company!

I have bought Push 2 less than a month ago and I am VERY DISAPPOINTED. As you've known(and now I do too) there is an issue with the USB chord. Push 2 has very hard time connecting to Live. It takes me 15-30 minutes togling/playing/plugging/unplugging the USB chord in order to communicate with the software. The most disappointing $800 ever spent. At this price Push 2 shouldn't have an issue with the most BASIC of the functions - Connecting. I can see if the machine had a problem with some obscure/rarely used function, but connecting to a computer so I can begin to work? You've got to be kidding me. And I've read many threads on forums by users, that have the same exact problem(and many variations of it[). SO, I will be returning this useless piece of junk. Too bad, it has a great potential, and the few times that I did get it to work, I've enjoyed it alot. Couldn't you find a sollution to this simple problem, advertise it, and have a pleased buyer audience? How does such a big company tries to "hush-hush" such an issue. I am totaly turned off by your company, and I don't believe that I'll use any of your products again. Also, I am going to leave this letter as a product review on Amazon.com I guess I'll go and buy me Machine 2.0(even though it's an inferior product compared to a WORKING Push 2).
A very disappointed customer
I was informed that the registration number had been part of a fraudulent purchase from Ableton.com. There are other comments that note this as well. Ableton needs to fix a broken system or figure out why it is happening. I already owned the full version of the software so it didn't impact my use at all. Perhaps the merchant could work with the customers to verify a valid code before shipping the product out.
Second Push 2 was delivered and was able to be registered with the included number.

Te das cuenta del valor de lo que compraste en cuanto lo ves, la presentación es increíble, lo tocas y sientes la calidad en el primer momento, incluye Live 11 Suite, lo cuál es una chulada, la verdad es PRE CIO SO!
Lástima que los videos de la página sólo estén en inglés, porque es MUY complicado, es muy difícil de usar cuándo eres nuevo con los controladores compatibles a Ableton

Édition rythmique et mélodique fortement ergonomique plus accès en toucher à toutes vos pistes de devices.
Attention il faut lire le manuel en français (disponible dans le chapitre 31 du guide Live 11) pour en tirer la quintessence car c'est loin d'être easy à cause des possibilités détaillées de l'exploitation du Logiciel, et regarder un maximum de vidéos tutoriels. Sinon vous la revendrez aussitôt sans y déceler la mine d'or.
Et en plus on a un setup utilisateur complètement free, les vst sont contrôlables aussi via les macro midi learn settings.
Bel outil, et en plus on conserve la souris, qui peut le plus peut le moins.
