Gr8 stuff, dude!!! Use it wisely! :-)
@Str8upDrew: thanks!!! That does the trick! I even use the num lock key...When its turned off,I use up/down to search through my library, insert button to load a song, and left/right to search through the song. I will make some video tomorrow so that people can see what it does.
I recommend to anyone who uses laptop for playing music to buy one of these, it really makes life easer!
Well Ive started to paint my frogpad... and its alot of work because im afraid to pull the buttons off in fear I might break it... so its being masked with heatshrink tubing cut up.. and Im using nail polish because of the enamel... nail polish will stick btw and you have a ton of colors to choose from
I suggest first to do the mapping, then paint. I'm gonna paint labels on my keys so first I have to find the best mapping for them and then paint. I don't know if you are planning to do the same or just paint them in different colors,without labels.
Nail polish is a nice idea...The brush that comes with them can make really nice texture on keys.

OPI brand nail polish often comes in sets which have smaller jars afaik they call them minis
and dont forget glow in the dark nail polish enamel :)
and look for TULIP SLICK fabric UV fabric paint for putting little dots to show the marker. also works well for covering LEDS to have nailpolish painted around them. like in this example... the painting looks sloppy atm, but im more concerned with painting the edges without ruining the circuit... later i will use masking tape to do the center part

Can't you just pop the keys off and paint them individually?
yes and no...
they are attached with super small plastic clips all around the inside with a thin metal paperclip looking device,, really small...
I would rather it take me 10 x longer and not have a broken key. Im the type with alot of patience ... i put on a movie... do a few rows.. let them dry and work on something else.
im also working fulltime from home so I can come back to it all the time. Plus ive always found things that take alot longer to do allow you to rethink the whole thing a few times and can make corrections before its too late.
Can't argue with that. Look forward to seeing it finished.
