MPC buttons

Hey guys, the buttons on the MPC 1000 are so hard and unresponsive to all of you? I just bought an MPC which already had JJ on it... it may be from the JJ?
(I don't mean the pads...but the buttons..)

Are you talking about the tact switch underneath the actual buttons? I don't think the JJOS has anything to do with it.

dying tact switches,

So did any of u experienced that?

A few of my buttons are failing as well.

I have a theory... that may be wrong though.. I believe is because of the JJ OS and because u have to press so many times to finally work... so in order to check that, if u did not already, let me know can I get back to the Akai OS and then back to the JJ ? ...and HOW.
Thanks a lot guys!

NOW I HAVE THREE BROKE BUTTONS FROM PUSHING SO HARD. IM THOUGHT IT WAS MY MOTHERBOARD. THERES A VIDEO ON YOU TUBE ON HOW TO FIX THE BUTTONS INSTEAD OF BUYING THE SAME OLD CRAP ONES. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ5ScgSAK4E

Thanks 1000 times man!!!

Can it be also dust? I don't think so...but the guys from Akai to do such a sh_tty job with the MPC 1000 buttons? Mine is practically new.

I've wondered this myself, although it never bothered me tremendously. The only trouble I have is with my left "bar" button. I am unaware of how the JJos affects button reactions.
