@damnit: Do ya've ordered there before!? Ideally some button/switch?!?

They look very interesting, I'm right that they're the usual "two-pole-circuit-shut-when-pressed" (don't know how explain it better, ya know what I mean for sure), aren't they!?

[damnit]

No I don't order anything juste found the page and it's rare for manufacturers to sell some parts of their products :)

Thanks for lettin me know.

Have 2-3 other projects on my list, waitin to get finished, but'll order a few buttons there afterwards to play around with.

i've looked at their buttons before for one of my projects, but the button/spacer layouts aren't correct for me. it's an ableton live controller so i thought soft buttons would be cool, but i always return to the tact switch and led configuration. it's cheap and easy and works fine. i never noticed that the brain is $189. seems expensive compared the price of an LPC17.

this was also my first thought, especially considered that the firmware capabilities are very user friendly, but accordingly also limited.

On the other hand I think, that they made a good product out of their platform. It's superior compared to other commercial solutions (e.g. Doepfer), and users are paying for the development and support efforts -> well done! :thumbsup:
