Saw it on reddit awhile back. Pretty cool idea. Could never travel with it though. I always thought they could have made the live screen retractable like the X. No reason not to

Nope, X is fine the way it is.

I can see this for MPC Key61! I'd buy it.

Thought I share this, its a lift kit for your MPC Live screen. The MPC X should take note, its not as flimsy.

impressive; it looks good am sure when they do the live 3 (in however many years) akai will jack this idea

If you have loot/space for the X I'd say GET IT. The ease of use for q-links alone can't be stressed enough. Recently had a friend who was in the same boat as you, eventually went to X and is highly satisfied from what I've heard.

I went to X right away after messing with Live. I KNEW what it was.

I like the X screen is adjustable, this however is non-adjustable angle. Looks cool but from this video of how to install looks pretty daunting for a beginner, he just removes cables and not explain what goes where.

I think people will want a way to retract/flip down the screen.
