has anyone had problems with their mpc buttons like the mode or shift or similar buttons??? i have had to send mine in for repairs twice now. the first time my down button on the cursor jus stopped working, so i opened it up to see if the plastic had slipped off the trigger but it hadnt.. 2nd time my mode button started wign out, so i removed the top again only to find that one of the two pieces of plastic that holds up the mode button had completely snapped.and im not even heavy handed and i handle these buttns wid extreeme care... i aint makin a big fuss, cuz i love my mp, but im jus wondering if any other heads r comin across this

I haven't had any problems. I've had mine for about 4 months give or take a few weeks.

I had my MPC 2500 for 1 year and 2 months...no issues.

However, this is a common problem with heavy use of MPCs. MPCs are very responsive. You don't need to press buttons hard to work.

Agreed... and make sure you depress the button straight down. Even knocking it at an angle will dislodge the placement.
