Simple cheap button controller (hid/numpad mod maybe)
Simple cheap button controller (hid/numpad mod maybe) Posted on: 08.12.2009 by Nadia Shelmadine Hi!I'm looking for a very simple and basic controller similar to Nanopad except even more basic. I just need 8 or 10 buttons to push to trigger cue points and loops. The easiest way would be painting a usb-numpad, but i'd like the buttons to be placed horizontally. Is there any way to use numpad chip and just solder longer wires to buttons? Has anyone opened a numpad? Thanks in advance. | |

| Rebbecca Cornelsen 19.04.2010 | I ripped a number pad I had kicking around to do something similar but found it wasn't a simple process. I'm currently modding a game pad for basic transport controls. I want a simple setup for house parties and other impromtu events. I don't need 4 decks or full fx so 16 buttons and 4 knobs should be plenty. |

Could you extend the wires and maybe attach to arcade buttons? |
