how long?

have you guys had your mpc for?

have you guys ran into any problems that are not os related, meaning just the hardware, from the screen to the pads

i've had mines for about 2 1/2 years now and so far no complaints just the pads have been kinda slowly wearing out and a few of my arrow buttons need replacing

my datawheel, some pads and arrows to. and the stop button's sittin loose. ive had it for a year and a half i think

my first pad is going out all the way.

almost 2 solid years.

pad trouble - fixed, 0$ (i did order 2 spares though, so $16)
data wheel encoder - fixed, $10
screen - the side w/ the power adapter is a little darker than the rest, but all it takes is a quick contrast adjust and that's that.
up cursor button - on the go. that'll be 8 dollars if i can't fix it myself.

no problems i can't deal with
