I give you: the click!

 

 

 

 

 

Clicky buttons are the best!  I want this so much.  I'm using TM Cougar MFD panels now and the mushy membrane buttons aren't the most satisfying to push.  Also, they don't have enough buttons to emulate the Apache MPDs.

Hello, 

Quick question, will we be able to connect two of these together so only one USB is used or will they each take up one USB slot? 

Any update regarding release date? 

Thanks

I do not think that will be possible. Count on using two ports.

We hope preorders will go live before end of april.

Status report:

I know many of you are eagerly awaiting the Apache MPDs from Total Controls. Here is the current situation:

Molds have been made for the custom knobs. Production is ongoing. Metal domes for the PCB are done and delivered. (To give us the nice click). Microcontrollers have been secured.

We are now waiting for the prototype boards that will arrive this week. If they are ok we will place an order on mold and casting of the frames later this week. Then we will start production of the PCBs. 

What awaits after that is product photos, assembly and packing. Based on this information I'll let you guess the shipping date...

Disclaimer: We have secured Microcontrollers for 300 units and this will be our first batch. First come, first serve.

Priority should absolutely be given to us long-standing Total Controls customers who also own the Button Box . . .

But seriously, will there be a cap on how many units any one person can purchase?  Would be great if those first 300 get spread out across a wide band of folks.

Good idea, presumably every one will want a minimum of two initially.

I will think of it. Maybe we will open up the preorders to our previous customers first. I am not sure if we can limit the sales for each customer. Will look into it.

Apache MFD moulds have now been ordered. To us, this is huge :smile:

We are still aiming for about 120€ for each frame. VAT will be added in the EU. It all depends on what prices we can get from manufacturers. Everything is fluctuating right now, but this is our aim.

Probably should have asked before now but do you ship to North America?
