The price is: "super affordable", for who? Something with real numbers
would be nice.
I think the case is one of the less expesive parts.
When one can get the normal 25key + 8 drum pads, 4 encoders, 4 faders and
some control buttons for $80 Canadian ($60US?) I wonder how these guys
could make money, even with a cardboard case.
Not set up for drums, but another cheap controller... you probably have
one sitting in front of your computer already:

I've set it up as a mackie control type controller, but lots of people use
them as a piano/synth kb and it could be used to do drums too. No encoders
though. But any two keys can be used as an encoder or other CC/pitchwheel
control.
For a more compact controller, there are numerical keypads for laptops
that work too.

These kind of controllers can be had for peanuts these days, and decent
brand-name ones are inexpensive too.

A computer with a well designed interface would be better.
My favorite is Musescore <https://musescore.org/en>, but there are many
others.

It looks interesting, but I had the same thought others had - isn't the
case the cheapest part? :)
But aesthetically it does look pleasing, albeit not very practical.
