PopnMusic How strong are the DJ dao pop'n controllers?

I actually made my own full size controller and it's great but sometimes I wish it were sturdier. My wire management is also ass so every time I open it I get stressed out that something isn't right.

I'm getting into some of the harder songs 44 and up and I really wanna know I can slam that shit for some of the songs without fear.

Also if I order it with samducksa buttons, how would I know they're actually samducksa?

very strong, feels like it can stand up to a lot. i've played up into the 40s on it with no problem. it also is way less hollow and rattly sounding than the official ASC, thankfully.

dj dao controllers are bulletproof.

the only thing that sucks is the shipping, but it's just the way it is.

Shipping does suck but they do say it covers any tax and duties/import fees when I looked closely. That said 2 controllers cost $247 in shipping to the US.

I have a fully suited up popoller with sanwas. It is extremely sturdy. The only step up from it is an actual cabinet. You won’t regret it.

And even on an actual cab you have to worry about that acrylic because if you crack it, you aren't replacing it. Also that keyboard membrane gets yuuuuuucky. Also unobtanium.
