the "soft buttons"
Posted on: 14.08.2008 by Natan/Mateusz Naguszewski/Wierzbicki
does the vci-100 se have the "soft buttons" instead of the "hard ones" that the original vci has?

where could we get the new "soft buttons" ? does vestax carry misc peices from the vci?

I just don't believe my skills with a solder sucker would do anything but lift traces and trash the motherboard. Maybe after a bit more practice...
Your right thats a really good idea, finding the right one will be the hard part.

yeah I would believe so. I have the black vci-100HW, but I believe when ean went to japan he had vestax base his model of that one except of course with his firmware and plates. so yeah the buttons on mine certainly are softer than standard vci , and i would assume the same for the se.

I could be wrong here but Im pretty sure the SE buttons are lighter than the standard buttons. I use both standard and SE and the SE buttons all feel like the play button does on my standard (which is softer than the others now coz I use that the most)
