Has anyone been able to switch out the 8 buttons on each "deck" to custom push button switches like they sell at radio shack? I know a lot of people mount arcade buttons in their controllers as well, basically I'm looking for a solution that allows me to get a better response from my buttons as well as adding that personal look to my device. thanks.

well you can get them more responsive. push buttons could be done. i have seen people completly remount the entire pcb boards onto there own case. (styrofoam and mineral spirits wink wink*) anything is possible.

It's not so much the responsiveness as much as it's the feel of the buttons. They just don't give a satisfying tactile response. I was reading some of the other threads on the buttons but none of them really said how they were connected to the pcb. I'm guessing it's just 2 leads for each button but i'm scared to take mine apart without some prior knowledge. If anyone knows, that information would be greatly appreciated.

I found this thread on the dj tech tools forum: www.djtechtools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9046&highlight=mixmanIt has some good info on the guts of the dm2. I'm gonna go get some buttons this week and while I have some time try do do some work. I guess the main problem I'm gonna have is mounting the buttons, hopefully radio shack has some smallish ones. I'll try to remember to take pics as I go along so I can keep up-to-date on my progress. |

i love how first off they didnt just ask me for the circuit diagram. second half the people take info from this website and dont even give it credit its sad. i guess the forum goes all members only now.

Another thing, do you know what size pots this thing would accept? I'm thinking about removing the joystick at the top and replacing it with 2 pots for the eq so with the 3 profiles I can control my highs, mids,and lows, but that might be a bit over my head.
