ah yes...that's one of the things i need to remedy; it's not the keys 
that are crooked, it's the caps. i bought them independantly from the 
keys, and of course they didn't fit. so i drilled a bit out of them 
to get them to fit, but the slot in the case is a bit too wide to 
keep them straight..so i'm thinking of making an encasing out of some 
sort of foam which would hold them straight and double as protection 
to keep dust & ashes out. i also want to raise the keys, as they're 
now just about level with the case. the pcb is now on 10mm spacers 
and i want it on 5mm, but i got fed up with waiting for the parts and 
just wanted to give it a try. and it's pretty cool! i've got one P3 
doing notes and another doing different notes & patterns on some 
tracks and controllers on a other tracks at the moment, and i'm only 
just starting to discover the wonderful world of 2 P3's..:) great fun!
