New MidiFighters

[Citizen_Insane]

Any word on cases of some sort for those of us with the (now old I guess) custom midi fighters? I love mine to death but man am I worried about taking it places without a casing of some kind.

I too would like to see an upgrade kit for existing MF owners.

Any price estimates on these babies?

I really hope it's less than the $450 custom controller.

yeah prices im excpecting like 300 or 350?? i dunnno. im not expecting cheap, but just less than the custom ones now, because these new ones wont be made to order

I'm praying for $200ish, but doubt it'll happen.

it won't, sadly. That's what you end up paying for a standard midi fighter if you want buttons, a case and a painted top.

Listen, a college broke, like me can't afford a 180 dollar worth box of only 16 arcade buttons. Ok many are making out of gamepads + 4 pots, bomes n loopbe.
So the normal one should cost a little less or throw in 2 pots along the corners.
And overseas shipping costs a bomb,15 dollars in India.

That's all very well, but making units in small batches with high quality components costs money. So does international shipping, it's just a fact.

DJTT is a small company making a niche product, did you know that every single one has all the button mountings soldered on by hand? I'm sure they'd like to charge less for it but manufacturing and labour costs are expensive.

Most people who make their own (which I applaud) end up spending about the same as the cost of an official one.

Back on topic, these new MFs look sweet. Depending on the price I might be interested in upgrading!
