[Arturia] [Minibrute 2012] – [Keybed Replacement]

I have one of the old Minibrutes that came with the crappiest keybed ever. Got it cheap, but was too damaged to glue all the plastic back together to fix the broken keys.

Would anyone know if one of the old Keylab 25 or Analog Experience 25 keybeds would work with the Minibrute as replacement?

I’ve made my own “skinnybrute” version with it, but have a chance to get one of these midi controllers and want to see if I can make it whole again.

Arturia used a supplier upgrade for keybeds midway through the original MiniBrute run. The later model boards (like the MiniBrute SE), feel slightly firmer than the earlier models and if you find one for parts, you could swap your keybed out with that or try cleaning the contacts and lubricating the mechanics to improve the action. To my knowledge, no other manufacturer has a compatible direct swap. Good luck!
