Arcade buttons on djtech imix
Arcade buttons on djtech imix Posted on: 21.10.2009 by Nicholas Karty I'm wondering if someone here has arcade buttons modded on their imix/imix reloaded?I unscrewed the device earlier today. The vci has two separate circuit boards for the four buttons, the imix however dont. The whole device is on one big circuit board. So is it still possible? I'm guessing no because there is no more room under the panel, the big circuit board takes up everything. All tough there is like 3 cm on the height left, but I guess that wont help. | |

It isn't modular like the VCI. The buttons are the same as the VCI (except cheaper switches are used... mine are faulty already). So I'm going to go on a small project to get new switches and resolder all the buttons again with proper switches. I'm also probably going to extend out the controller with a small electronics enclosure. I don't use the kill buttons at all, so I'm going to take those inputs and wire it out to the second enclosure that will be bolted to this controller and put arcade buttons in. That should give me 6 arcade buttons. Or maybe I can do the same with the scratch button as well... hmm... can any of you guys believe of other useless buttons on the controller that I might be able to use for cues? I must also say, I loooove flick switches as modifiers. I have a denon hs5500 and i love using the flick switch to switch to browse mode. Such a satisfying feeling.. haha. Maybe believeing of replacing a button with one of these flick switches as well... decisions decisions... do I want 5 arcade buttons and a flick switch? Or 6 arecade buttons? 3 arcade buttons for each deck, a dedicated freeze button and a flick switch? I'll post up a picture of the PCB tomorrow (worst design I've ever seen by the way). |
| Tawnya Zappala 22.10.2009 | The only thing I can tell is that I damaged my Reloop Digital Jockey IE2. I opened up the case, put the Arcade buttons in. I had to get rid of some part of the board. I do know a lot about engineering but I believe the main controller is damaged. The voltage outputs to the LED's are tooo low so they won't blink anymore. So, please be carefull!!! |
| Latoria Kavulich 21.10.2009 | where would you want to place these buttons? my thoughts would be the 3 loop buttons (bit of a tight squeeze tho i'd imagine) |

| Adolf Hit 21.10.2009 | The SANWA OBSF-24 are allready the lowest profile buttons I have found, most others are about 60 mm deep! |
| Nicholas Karty 21.10.2009 | Whoops didnt notice that :P But as I said, arcade buttons, around 20 mm in diameter and as low profile as possible. |
| jürgen weiprecht 21.10.2009 | 100mm are about 4inches.I doubt that it will fit on your controller.lol |
| Nicholas Karty 21.10.2009 | Yea thats what I tought, I found these tough. http://www.coinopexpress.com/product...tton_3475.html Product size: 100mm Diameter x 50mm Height Does anyone know if I could find arcade buttons that are even shorter in height? |
| Lorrine Eckstein 22.10.2009 | I believe you'd struggle to get the buttons to fit tbh mate. |
