Hi guys, I wrote to Korg USA, asking for the buttons, with 2 pics attached, and the part number list. They didn't answer.
I wrote again, and they didn't answer.....

That's not nice, not even polite...

Please Jerry or whoever, answer us!!

Hi there, I am from New Zealand, having the same problem now. Is it still possible to get the buttons? many thanks

You should try contacting Korg support. You could also try a local service center to see if they are able to obtain a set.

Don't know how this is handled in New Zealand. In Europe you could get replacement buttons via your local dealer whereas in the US this was handled by KorgUSA directly.

I have replaced individual buttons. I got the buttons directly from Korg but that was some years ago. If you can find a button block I would think you can pull off single buttons and then use them for replacements. I did not have to disassemble the M3. Just used duct tape to pull off the old buttons.

Guitar-parts.com has them listed as out of stock and who knows when, if ever, they will get more.

Thanks.. i did not take mine apart to check if you could replace a single button, but that is good to know..

I don't think anyone will be restocking these, since they are no longer made.

I find it odd that a keyboard made from 2007 to 2013 would be out of stock on stuff like this and expansion cards.

Hi, does anyone have spare new buttons available? Maybe you got a whole block but only used a few? I need around 4 buttons for mine and have had no luck finding new ones so far.

are these buttons still available? i have a few worn on my m3

Digital print decals (using clear matte vinyl) are more than likely the only solution at this point. There are several companies who would probably make a complete set for the M3 if it were a group purchase. I had them made for similar applications a few years ago and they were the perfect solution.
