2 of the plastic thingies on my 2500 broke.
i already replaced the tact switches.
Since mpcstuff wants 3-4$ for one thing i was thinking of getting a whole set in black.
anyone did that? Is the workflow with the black buttons different when you work in the dark?
50$ for some gramms of plastic is a lot.



I had some jacked up buttons so i replaced all of them + the board that runs the jog wheel "also jacked" and i noticed a lot of buttons were cracked. you might as well replace all of them maybe keep the ones that are still good for backup. The after market buttons are 4 times more sturdy than the originals. If you know your way around your mpc. no light shouldn't matter plus you still got the glow from the led screen.. which works fine for me. just buy the set its worth it considering how much you have invested in your mpc.
