    This may be better than the Livid DIY USB controller because (a) it’s here now; and (b) it’s $75 compared to the sub$200 that Livid is aiming for. I might have to pick one of these up!

    Ya this is good, but if you get yourself a USB based game controller, like $3 at the local goodwill, you can do the same thing by using the pcb inside. Just solder in some buttons and knobs where the gamepad buttons are and map them using Bome;s on PC or Junxion on Mac and presto…your own custom MIDI controller.

    I’ve made tons of cheap creations using this method….it’s quite sold and it’s bus-powered!!!

    I´m also thinking in how I´m going to build my own MIDI controller, and my problem is that I find that I need more inputs to make mine.
