Is it ONLY the colour which is different? Which firmware do these come with or does it matter? ---

Firmware is 1.2 Firmware 1.3 is a Techtools custom FW only. Knobs are black, platters are black and no indent on the pitch faders. ---

Ah, thanks for that. Appreciated. I’ve been happy with Thomann in the past. I bought my DJM 400 from them. I think most of the stuff comes with a 3yr guarantee from them as well. ---

Yes, they are quite professional. Maybe they could ship to US, but price would be high. ---

You dont have to push on the button as hard to trigger the buttons on this unit. ---

Gorgeous. If I had the money and didn’t own one, I’d buy the SEs that Ean’s selling. Too bad they cost over $700 Canadian plus shipping and duty =( ---

> [@BentoSan](#): > > You dont have to push on the button as hard to trigger the buttons on this unit. Is this for sure? I know its been said of the Japan black SE to have better buttons, is it a fact that the “german” one will have the same improved buttons, and not only a different colour? Need to know this ASAP because i was about to buy a silver one… ---

i know this is kind of the wrong place to ask this question, but: why dont they put the “good” buttons in the silver one as well?? the list price difference between the black and the regular one is 10€, i guess everyboudy would gladly take the better buttons for that money. would be great if you people that are speaking with vestax anyhow could find out if they plan to put the new better buttons in the silver ones as well. cause the silver one would fit better with my MBP 🙂 ---

just came back from a local store where they already have a black one on display. it might be me but the buttons felt exactly the same as the ones on the silver one. but then again i couldnt find a difference between the top buttons of the 300 and the 100s. the two big play/cue buttons on the bottom of the 300 are way different, and on the 100s, the bottom buttons have an extra “click” which the top buttons on all units dont have. didnt really like the click, but it was on the black one, too. guess i gonna take a silver 100 then.. ---

I am thinking of maybe getting a VCI-100 but now there is this OTUS! Hmmm.. so many controllers, but this looks serious.
