No title Received this today. Until now I used to play PnM game on regular controllers and boy did it feel great to switch to the Pop'n Mini! It made the game much more enjoyable. If you can't afford the ACS, I would highly recommend this! There's no way I'd ever go back to playing with just regular PS2 controllers now!

Excellent for beginners. I received my controller along with Pop'n 12 when it was released, and it's still working perfectly.
All of the buttons are very sensitive, and are domed much like those in an ASC. Though it may look like a fisher price toy from the pictures, don't be fooled. It's actually much heavier and sturdier than I expected. It also has four rubber stoppers on the bottom to keep from moving.
However, a mini-con will not give you the full Pop'n experience. In Pop'n, a lot of playing techniques revolve around using the right hands for the right buttons, and you lose this when you can hit almost all of the buttons with one hand. If you're willing to shell out the money, go for an ASC.
Overall, it gets the job done and does it very well. 5 stars

Fast delivery, mint condition, incredible controller I received my order not 3 days after ordering it. The box and controller were in mint condition, and the peripheral is in perfect working order. The buttons are more sensitive than I would like, but that's something to which I can adapt.
Play-asia has the best service of any online retailer I've ever encountered and done business with. I will certainly be shopping here more often.

decent homecontroller Granted, there aren't many alternatives, but if you are looking for a PnM controller this is the one you should get. It's durable, very responsive and the dome-shaped buttons give you a bit of that arcadefeel (as far as a homecontroller can do that). The only real disadvantage is that this controller makes a lot of noise. When you are playing complext numbers you might get distracted by the continuous rattling of your controller.

Brilliant! Shipped to me quickly, no complaints there.
The controller was amazing when I opened it, the smooth sleek look was nice on the eyes accompanied by the white shell.
This was going to be fun.
I plugged in the controller, instead of the usual 5-Line (Dualshock) I greeted the game with 9-Line, though at first the switch from Dual to Pop'n controller was weird it felt natural after a while. The sound doesn't bother me a bit seeing as it helps keep you along to the rhythm and tells you when you are offbeat. Though what di get to me was the buttons over-sensitive nature.
