    Default ideas for mapping overlays

    ive never posted in this section of djtt >.>


    so yeah, i hate having to religiously read the pdf that comes with a mapping so does anyone have any ideas on something to put on a controller to replace the current writing? besides duct tape... or any tape those dont seem to want to remove.




    also, i didnt include any actual controller, i would like ideas that can be useful for all known controllers.. IN THE UNIVERSE!

    I just use labelstickers that i cut up and write on them with permanent markers in different colors. It's not the prettiest maybe, but by far the most flexible and solid solution for me, since i tend to change mappings on a weekly base more or less.

    I have a labeler, but that stuff is expensive so I use masking tape. It comes off easily and lets me get my head around new mappings. I end up memorizing it eventually anyway.



    You can also print of a layout on regular paper after you used something like photoshop to type in what you want it to say and then laminate it. I might have read somewhere that Kinkos can print on material similar to the X1 plastic stuff.

    That's how I've been doing it lately then use some double sided tape to hold it in place
