Desktop arcade popn controller

[USSR]

Are these any good? and is the button spacing arcade accurate? what are some pros and cons?

[zorahk]

No, they are not as good as DJ Dao controllers.
The button spacing is accurate

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Not as good as other ASCs, order can take months because Steve is horrible, no customer service, etc.


There is no reason to buy one with Dao on the market.

pop'n DASC's are just as good as a DAO, i've played on both them

i still get good scores with my pop'n DASC and it's works after 3 years of playing on it

but i will agree with zorahk Steve is pretty much done with taking orders, so you might as well get a DAO it's a little expensive cause it's coming from China

No doubt about it, get a Dao. Most of the people in this forum reccomend a Dao over a DASC anyway. They definately made me change my mind.

That, and the Dao looks better. ;P

He's asking because of this one for sale (not mine):

DASC For Sale

I heard that the DASC is also louder than a DAO. I've never played on a DASC, but only a Ransai and a DAO. The guy is trying to sell a used DASC for $250 which is not a good deal when again a DAO can be had with shipping for around $300. If he was going to sell for maybe $175 or so then it could be a good alternative. Of course the DAO also looks a lot better, so if you have the cash go for the DAO.

I disagree on them feeling the same, the buttons have a different feel. But either way it's really about the customer service.

i think the DAO's are modeled after the new pop'n machines and i think they are made with different material too

DASC's shell is made of wood which makes it sound and feel different


@adonis_minus_20: DAO's are way louder than DASC's


....

all this talk about DAO's make me want to buy one

[adonis_minus_20]

DAO's are louder than DASC's? I'll take your word for it as I never played on both, but any PNM ASC is going to be pretty loud anyway, enough to be annoying to non players.
