I'll just say it: I wouldn't mind. Especially when you get meticulous with nudging ghost hits and all, fixing overlapping notes (yes I know of Legato) etc, I def wouldnt mind having a mouse to get the job done quickly.
Anyone in the know, pls lemme know too (the video is an old video from Jahrome, and seems he did it).

That would be nice. I said that should be on my list if Akai makes a new machine. You should ask the guy.

You can see that there's no battery icon top right, so it's an MPC Touch, not MPC Live. The MPC Touch is installed as an additional display on your computer using displaylink drivers, so it's not a hack, just moving the mouse cursor over to that additional display like you can with any additional display. You can do other stuff too, like change the MPC Touch color balance, e.g. different hues, saturation, contrast etc.

i would def use it if it had mouse support, the touch screen can be quite fiddly.... could possibly speed up the workflow a bit.... but that said step by step figuring out, the mpc live has a decent system to not be reliant on the touch screen... but yeah a simple mouse could be a slight improvement....
