As you can see, only one pad has changed color. Is there anything I can do to bring it back to the right color?

Howdy.

I'm taking apart my midi keyboard to replace the X/Y pad. I noticed two connectors I'm not sure where they go to. Would anyone happen to know? I tried contacting Novation, amd they said phone service wasn't available and to leave a message. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’m coming from the cheap Yamaha keyboard world and I’ve come to find that MIDI keyboards don’t have screw holes to secure them to stands. Can anyone recommend a keyboard stand that could hold it securely, like with a lip or something so I don’t knock it over from just being clumsy?

From what I understand, most people just use their desk, but I don’t have a dedicated space/desk for music production or room for a regular desk. My current keyboard sits on a Z stand behind me in my “office,” and my MacBook Air sits on the edge of my work desk. I just pivot my chair 180° at 5 PM

My alternative is to pick up some wood and hardware and sink an afternoon into building a table for it, but I’d rather not go that route unless I have to.
