how are those tact switches working out for you?? a few of mines need to be pressed extremely hard in order to move the cursor, so a good replacement is needed..

and

how are you pads holding up??? if you're still using the ones you made??

Thanks

no idea what's up with my website, service hasn't expired yet. my service may just be down for now...bastards.

tact switches are fine, i actually have to replace my MAIN key soon.
still using the ones i've made, still working good. still also very sick of the process of mass producing them though.

Dude? I havent been on here since i replaced my 1k with a 2.5 6 months ago and your still on this, button/pad fixing thing. Arent you just pushing shit uphill? I admire your perserverance and all though.... I wonder if my piece of shit 1000 is still behind the desk it got pushed behind when i replaced it. get angry just thinking about that junk pile.

i wouldnt g so far to say the 1000 is a piece of shit

but the build quality isnt top notch but what is now a days...... the 2500 has its share of problems as well as 2000xl's.. the only really really well built mpcs were the first 3, 60 60II 3000......

anywho......

for anyone on here..

is there a certain way i should go about soldering these on??

i've soldered just a bit on one of my vestax faders, but i also burnt the pcb on my 1200 audio cable....

what temperature or voltage setting should i use?? 15w or 30w?? and also is this the correct tact switches, they look awfully familar to the ones ant posted a year ago...

make sure you are using a soldering IRON and not a soldering GUN

soldering guns should never be used on electronics
