How agressive do you hit the keys?

[Zemata]

For me it depends on difficulty of sound. I can get pretty loud when I'm doing my best

I hit them hard, much like I type. It helps me time.

Ditto. Parents always moan about my typing when they are trying to sleep.

Not very hard. Especially with the harder songs - hitting aggressively gives me cramps and generally tires me out. I try to glide over the keys and hit them accurately, but not forcefully.

I find myself hitting the keys harder on easier songs because (as someone else mentioned earlier) it does seem to help me time a bit. Once I start getting in the range of things that I don't have much of a prayer at AAAing (say, 7s and up), my touch gets a lot lighter.

thats basically what i wouldve said, i never understand how people could stand all the noise from hitting the button aggressively

As you progress, you find that the more of an effort you make to create a distinct 'click' with each button press, the better your timing will be and the better you'll be able to keep a constant beat.

im the opposite if i start hitting the keys too loudly i get out of sync i do much better when all i can hearsi the song

[b00geyman]

whole family complains about the noise i make from IIDX. im completely oblivious to the noise i generate.it cant be thats loud, can it?
i would have thought i make more noise on a popn asc, but they say its fine. wtf?

I hit the keys... in a scale from 1-10 with 10 being the most aggressive, I hit the keys in aggressive meter 7.

7, maybe it's either I'm a noob at the arcade game, (bm 5-key, not IIDX) or the song is what I can pass. Not that I'm mad or anything, otherwise, 9.

I hit the keys so i can hear them hit. On Anothers you can often hear a cool echo of the song created by the combination of chords and streams that you play (well duh! but it helps to time if you can hear it like that)

I also turn my music down so I can hear the key clicks without having to hit the F outa the keys.

Ive also "Isaac" modded my controller so it is VERY loud with little effort.



Click =/= Hard Hit

I make em click but Hitting hard makes my hands like hurt.

[kannazuki]

Depends on how pissed I am.

But I play the keys in the same way I play piano, a moderate touch enough to touch yet I can still keep time. If I'm pissed I'm "RAWR KANNA SMASH!"

I kind of wish my family was like that so I can stop being so hesitant to save up and actually buy a pop'n ASC, but they already think that the KOC is too loud because my brother usually plays. Whenever I play, they do not have much of a problem since I am a loud softer with hitting the buttons.

I don't hit the controller very hard at all. I usually try to generate as little noise as possible, like with the pop'n KOC. The cardboard modding also aids with making it quiet enough that one can sleep without being annoyed by the keys being pressed.

I guess I hit them relatively hard, but it's only because I enjoy the clicking noise it makes with the song.

[Quantium]

I hit them about medium. I don't really want to mash them harder because I'm afraid that I'll break something, and then have to buy another one.
