yup. after a little more than 2 years i've had 2 buttons go bad. one fixed itself and i'm still using it, the other i had to order a 7 dollar replacement.

however i'm currently waiting to order a lot of 100 tact switches from ebay for a total of 10 (including shipping) from hong kong. these tact switches appear to work interchangeably with the ones that the mpc uses and their life claims to be 100,000+ cycles.

no problem. it is from hong kong, so may take a while
also get yourself a good soldering iron, you'll need it
