Frequency of KOC Breaking

[Rmix]

After a long journey with DDR SoftPads. I wonder with; How often beatmania KOC break?

I been only playing for a week and the scratch is less stiff, is this bad or good?

EDIT: Just fix the question and few grammar points. I was thinking in Spanish cause Frequency = How Often.

Your scratch less stiff no good, controller break so soon.

Hahaha.

Do you have US or JP controller?

US controller tend to have electric problem.

JP better, but Key get sticky. Need mod to help fix.

[Rmix]

I have the US version, I'm still kind of lost on the responses.

i got really pissed cause i tried doubles and slammed one of the controllers and now sometimes the 1st key doesn't work, lol!

I've had problems with the USA KOC and it just stops responding altogether then 2 seconds later comes back again.

[xybur]

The USA controller has voltage problems which causes things like that to happen.

It broke alot of controllers, and Konami used to fix them. I don't know if they do anymore.

I've never had any problems with the USKOC aside from the TT. A little sticky and wear and tear will break it in and it'll be fine. In my case the keys take a good beating without any problems.

After using my KOC frequently for 2 years with greasy hands it barely works. It can probably last much longer if you take good care of it, clean it on a regular basis, use a good controller mod, etc. Then you won't have to deal with a USKOC like I do! oh well at least I cleared quell on that POS ONE TIME.

My KOC sticks badly, I've tried everything. A light oil helped it for a while, but then it started again

>.<

Why the hell are you playing with greasy hands for two years anyway?

My turntable hasn't been stiff for over 2 years and it works fine. You shouldn't panic until the keys get fucked up.

seizuremania: Use WD40. Oils and Liquid Wrench are short-term solutions.

my USKOC works fine. the turntable was really stiff and hard to move when i bought it. So I opened it, and tryed to push out the turntable (or something, I used a flathead screwdriver, or something to move it in a little) it seemed to work, it did not stick much after that. I have never had any other problems with my USKOC at all, i really only use it to play the Japanese games.... maybe there was a problem with beatmania US I never heard of or something, but mine works fine on all the beatmania games.

Yeah I was thinking of using WD40, but though it would be a bit thin and might run all inside and all over the PCB. I'll give it a try

IIDX KOCs are built to last as opposed to short-lived DDR pads like MadCatz brand. <_<
