Yes, they are still touch sensitive. And, the outer area still responds to bend.
Basically, form the bottom up, it's a large dial (w/ tightening screw) that fits around the XP10 post, a metal plate, CDR, metal ring, cap inside, and 2 screws from the top, down to the dial. It's just a matter of finding the right dial and tooling it some.
Inspired by the arcade mods on the VCI-100 I wanted to mod my reloop digital jockey.
After a lot of brainstorming and a couple of days work I now have a RDJ2 with arcade buttons.
There's not as much room for the buttons as in the VCI-100 so I had to build little housings on top.
I have to be little bit careful now not to touch the buttons accidentally, but that's really no problem once you get used to it.
It's great to have these fantastically responsive buttons now.
costs:
Sanwa buttons: €26 (incl. €10 shipping from arcadeshop.de)
Aluminium for housing: €13 at local metal shop
Spraypaint & primer: €20 at local paint shop
Further plans are four play state indicator LEDs in between the volume faders.
Please let me know if you're interested in photo's of the work in progress. I have made a couple of those.
