Whoa. Thats totally hot.

I heard they use Springs now.

But my question is how much do you think this beautiful controller will cost?

the part with the keys can flip upside down so you can use both sides. the setup at gamer's day was right side turntable :( (wasn't feeling ballsy enough to change it, lol)

(left side pride, yo)

If you play one handed, your hand should be on the turntable at all times. If you play two handed, what does it matter?

I *can* play one handed up to about 6 on 7-key.
I don't do it nearly as often as I used to however.

Oh. I tried playing one handed on a Beatmania Arcade ((Not IIDX)). I couldn't do it.

I myself only have a BMIII7th style append machine near me, and nowhere near enough money to mod/import a ps2 and then the games. So yes, I will be buying it.

At that price who wouldn't buy it? To clarify I had a friend who got the IIDX controller back in '03, he had to pay about $200 for it (that's including shipping from Japan). I was over his house in the summer trying to play it but it got sticky and the metal was rusting.

I still find it funny that my controller plays perfectly and has fallen off the top of a van onto pavement. I've had mine since 4th Style was new.

Wow. Thats pretty lucky. One of my friends tried to fix the sticking problem forever by sanding down the corners of the keys. I don't remember what happened but it broke.
