As you see, it is not even glued to the switch. I ordered 12 new buttons 3-D printed for my keyboard (sorry, no files available). The current blog article is about replacing the buttons on the XBoard 49 keyboard. Listing the technical deficiencies now: the controller wheels are somewhat sticky (rubber starts to chemically disintegrate from the pitch bend wheel), then the aftertouch ribbon needs extra care while opening the keyboard (or it will be broken), but the most problematic issue is that the buttons have no glue applied and thus they tend to get loose and lost. The keys look a bit of yellowish (aging!) but hey, my initial goal was not to spend too much 😉 I only was able to find one key that generated somewhat weaker pressure – lets say straight: this is a good result for such an old keyboard. If stolen, I would be only moderately sorry and would hunt for another exemplarr, i.e.
On the positive side are: the battery compartment with enough space to put in an extra set of the batteries and, a relatively low weight.

First and most important – there are no program up/down buttons, a sequence of buttons have to be applied (Patch Select, Plus, Enter) to change the voice.The addendum programs for Windows XP and an old Mac aren’t suitable for me (a famous Linux-gay) but without these, one cannot use even 1/10 of the keyboard potential. However, this keyboard is plagued by some weird design decisions.
