Right. I don't think anybody else complained. Actually people talk to me about how much better it is.

I've gotta wonder if something's really up with the US KOC's. My friend and I tried to get them to work with some radio shack converters. The JP version worked fine, but the US one would never work at all.

Doesn't make any sense to me though, I'd think they'd be the exact same guts...

I had trouble with the US KOC where key 5 wasn't registering at all when I played 2P. I switched to 1P and it was working. When I opened and tested the controller, it seems that there was a cut in one of the traces. I couldn't find that cut but I soldered a wire from key 5 to the 2P side connector. Works like a charm. I'm weary of the quality of the US KOC.

According to a friend, they think the AKOC is better than an unmodded JKOC. Although a modded JKOC is superior to both, since AKOC can't be modded much. It also takes more strength to hit the buttons on an AKOC.

actually, the USKOC can be modded very easily. i'll post pics if you'd like. the turntable mod is the same, and all you do for keys is cut out cardboard or plastic (I used a thin plastic organizer ruler) rectangles. I've found that if you cut them out to the size of the inside of the key, your controller will be quieter, or if you're like me and you like loud keys, you can cut the rectangles to be more narrow than the key. then you roll scotch tape so it sticks to both the insert you've cut and the top of the plunger, and voila, a cardboard spacer mod where the spacers won't fall out of place. they actually sound fairly clicky, especially since I insulated the inside of the controller with foamcore board to add to weight and refract sound upwards instead of down into the controller.

All of these US KOC problems have to be defects because my US KOC has been through hell and back and has YET to have any problem with it:

- drink spilled on keys
- constant [a] gameplay
- thrown against wall out of frustration
- cat jumping from top of chair onto keys (several times)

and it's still working like I got it out of the box (though the left white keys kind of have a brownish color). I'm really impressed with its durability.

I have been playing IIDX on my USKOC since the release of Beatmania US and the only problem I had was the turntable being stiff. But after I unscrewed the turntable a bit it was awesome.

As far as I'm concerned, the US KOC kicks major ass. No sticky keys, modded the TT, works like a charm. Been pounding away at anothers and flashing 7's and 8's ever since it came out. No problems whatsoever! Only thing was that my first Beatmania bundle came with a defective KOC, but i just had it replaced, and now it p-owns. lol.

For those who don' t like a stiff TT, mod it (believe me, the KOC design for the TT sucks [check the pics in the sticky concerning the plastic doughnuts if you don't know what i mean]). Actually, even if you like a stiff TT, please just mod it and tighten the screw accordingly. Trust me on this one. If you don't like having to depress the keys hard, mod them. Design it to your preference, cuz ultimately, you're the person who has to use and adjust to it.

I've had my US KOC for about 2 months and now the TT only
scratches left but not right ^_^'' wierd

DJ LongCat · 06-30-2006, 02:32 AM

Ok for one thing, everyone stop saying KOC. I know it makes you feel better and 12 again but this is some SERIOUS BUSINESS we are dealing with here.

Someone was trying toget me to mod my US controller but Its not nessisary?

That can't be fixed. A friend of mine happened to him. It's dead.

I bit my brothers controller in frustration, especially during the time I tried to AAA 5.1.1. 7K and messed up the beginning rolls a lot, and if not the rolls, many random parts in the song itself.

Teranoia_agent · 06-30-2006, 09:15 AM

(dont want to read it all)

Same as a couple of people said... I got mine on day 1 of US Release and not once has it acted up... I play at least 1 hour a day and i slam on it ALOT... I did pay and extra 5 dollars when i bought it at gamestop so that iff the controller gets fucked up then i could bring it in and get a new one :LOL:

IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!!! MWA HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
