Traitor!! Infidel! Where are the mods around here? Ban this guy already! geez!  :P ;D

Nah, thanks for letting us know mate.

Did I read correctly that it's still in pre-order?

we’ve put together two kits. one is the logic board, the other is the keypad. they are designed to work well together, but you can use ... the keypad kit with a different electronic brain.

MUAhahahHAHAHAHAHAHahahahaaaaa

I think the "monome-like" keypad kits from Spark Fun Electronics are better... probably work out a tiny bit cheaper than $140 and you can use RGB LEDs, but there's no diode per switch like the monome (maybe you could add them?) Just thought I'd mention it, before people start buying the keypad kit and connecting to a MIDIbox without comparing it with other alternatives.

The sparkfun button sets don't come with the button contact PCB - that's extra.  And the monome ones don't come with LEDs - you could use RGBs or bicolours, but the single diode per button would be a limitation you'd have to work around.
