Well, that's not something that can't be fixed in an update! surprised Could you paint them white with a steady hand Don?
I think Yamaha R&D dropped the ball on this button design, as a home KB in their eyes theere is no problem,....but, use on a dimly lit stage scenario it is definitely a problem that would require carrying a light of some sought if needed, btw , does the S950 have a Display Light Dimmer?.....or maybe they could offer/sell players S series some kind of multi color rubberized slip cover option accessory set so you can make the buttons any color you wish to suit your needs,
I remember KETRON did this for the MidJay units, it was a great idea..? confused1

Now, that's a great looking keyboard Sparky.

Much better than the butt ugly blue.

Plus, with that model, you get all kinds of extra styles and sounds.

All Korg MUSIKANT styles/Pa500 styles work flawlessly in both the Sharp & Unique BLUE PA500 or Musikant versions...and I must repeat both incorporate the fantastic "SONGBOOK" feature also.

Yes...I thought that was odd. The buttons have been moved on both the S-910 and S-950....but at least you can see them on the S-910

I can understand Don's problem. The darker grey buttons on black may be hard for some to see.
(The lighter grey not so bad)

I would think the white text above each button would make the button color less relevant.

Getting back on topic, I wonder how Dave made out with his new combination of the YAMAHA S950 and Nano 300?

I still found the labeling of some of the buttons on the S910 hard to read, even though the text was clear, it was also kind of small.

I always made sure I had good lighting at my gigs, although after getting used to the layout, it does become much less of a problem.

We used to joke about the big bright buttons on the Tyros models (they remind me of Hall's Cough Drops)...not any more. I LOVE THEM!
