Re: [xl7] Re: Has anyone painted their controler?

I've magically owned two XL7s, and there was a noticable difference in the
buttons and pads from the original US-made $1100 version, and the
more-recently-purchased $400 China-made version.
The US pads were softer, suppler, and stickier, and just provided a better
feel.
More like an ASR-X
The button feel was less notable, but the US version felt just a tad more
"solid".
Is it worth the price difference? Hahah no- soundwise they both seemed the
same :)

Tho- if you're just looking for a more rubbery feel (which now that I think
about it, would be desireable), I'm sure there is some kind of grip compound
you could just neatly paint on every button to make them nice...
