pursereader Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I love my HD500X, but the buttons I found to be on the small side with too low a profile. Sometimes while playing and trying to hit the FS 1, 2, 3 or 4 button, I would miss the button...or hit that protector bar things...or hit the button on the lower row...or double tap the button. The buttons just don't seem to have enough bulk and height for my taste, particularly on the top row. I went to my local hardware store and bought these Hillman Round Cap Plugs 3/4". They fit perfectly, look kinda cool and is a big improvement for me. It is like they were made for my Pod. Sweet! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesteel Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 That's a GREAT idea.. I've gotta go see if I can find these. I have 1 main switch that I use for the lead button on all my patches. It would be very beneficial to have that 1 button taller than all the rest.. Thanks for this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 i wonder if it works with those clown shoes! :D (old "inside" thread joke) That's a GREAT idea.. I've gotta go see if I can find these.

pursereader Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 I put some spacers on the inside of the plug to keep it from sliding down to far on the POD button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billlorentzen Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 In which department are those found? Wonder if they also fit the non-X HDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schrismer Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Dude... THANKS for this idea.... just got mine and they work perfect! I walked right into LOWES, go to the hardware area, speciality parts and pieces and their they were!!! it adds like 5/16" to the top row, that helped with you are live at midnight :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinglerch Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I just bought these too (thanks for the great tip) and they worked very well, though it didn't seem necessary to use a spacer. They just popped on. I also just put them on the buttons I use most often. They are much easier on bare feet too than the metal. They're in the misc hardware aisle under furniture parts: http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=51825-37672-884312 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
