IF you have to order them, buy at VST, they are usually much cheaper. Those purple buttons for example cost only half of what they do at MPCStuff (like most of their other stuff too...).

They do ship to Europe and are very reliable.

But I rather think it's the button switch itself, which isn't as easy to replace.

I think maybe it's not the plastic button part that VST has (and yes, they do ship to Europe, I just bought a backlight-invertter from them) but the tactical switch underneath the plastic button.

I bought 50 or so of these from Mouser, if you search this forum you will find a link to the part. You have to desolder the old switch and solder the new one.

In my order it says:

    688-SKHVBE
    ALPS Tactile Switche
    6.0x6.0x5.0mm 160gf

Or maybe you can "clean" it, but I have no experience with that.

When i got my mpc 60 , half of my butons didn't work , i just spray some contact cleaner on the switches ( after take out the command PCB board ) and since everything works perfect , you should try it ( as long it is not a mechanical issue like a loose switch ) , by the way the spray is called kontakt 60 ( german stuff i think ) .
the tactile switche is the thing soldered on your PCB ( board )

Agreed. Takethe top off the MPC and Spray some contact cleaner lubricator in the tact switches under the plastic buttons.

CLEAN YOUR MPC!
