Genos2 Start/Stop & Chord Looper Confusion

Hey fellow Genos2 users,

Recently upgraded from the Genos1 to Genos2 and really digging the new features, but I've run into a bit of a snag during live gigs. The placement and size of the Start/Stop buttons right next to the Chord Looper keys are causing some accidental presses for me. In the heat of the moment, it's easy to hit the wrong one!

Just wanted to share my temporary solution: I've covered the Chord Looper keys to avoid any misfires. Not the ideal look, but it's definitely preventing some on-stage embarrassment!

Anyone else experiencing this? Curious to hear if others have found a better solution.

Inelegant, but better than being thrown for a (chord) loop during a performance.  :D

Yeah, I noticed that, too. The thing is, I don't typically use the chord looper, so I almost never  have one loaded in (so I can't accidentally launch it) but if you do?
I generally use sync start or pedal to start/stop a style, at least when I'm performing a song (instead of just noodling around. During noodling, I do accidentally hit the looper buttons often, but as I haven't loaded a loop, nothing happens)
