Got mine in the mail just now, unfortunately my drum decided to stop functioning this morning... so I have no way of testing it at this time 
if anyone has a spare one that I can borrow, I would be very grateful. I was planning on doing a series of videos.
Edit: the Aussie candies were a nice touch.

Wow they look amazing (OCD is satisfied that they are all aligned)

Thanks for everyone's support! The first batch is now sold out.
I expect the second batch by late April/early May. By then I should hopefully have nailed the case design too. People who have purchased this batch will be able to 3D print their own case

Do you still have mine on hold? It's fine if you don't I can wait until the next batch but I will be able to buy it this weekend(Hopefully).montymintypie wrote:

Yes! I wouldn't sell it after holding it so long, that'd just be rude.AnimeGod2205 wrote:

Anyone who needs one before May can pm me. I can't really afford a new drum with a baby on the way... $25 shipped. US buyers only.
Ah! Mine came today! (I hadn't said earlier, but I had scrapped up enough money to buy one! ;3) I can't test it now since i'm actually still remodeling my drum, but I can do it later. I can update then! Thanks so much @montymintypie!! 
! (For the little gifts too :33)
EDIT: I had finished fixing my drum, and i've gotta say, this works wonders! I love it so much. There's no delay at all for me. I can now play songs that are not on TnT Wii with a tatacon, and effectively! Thank you again!! :3!

Excellent to hear @MakkipMaster
New updates - I bought a 3D printer. Delivery sometime next week. If all goes well, this means I can add cases to all future converters for no extra cost

Woohoo finally got mine. It looks amazing. Works perfectly! I love the LED's. Great job. I was wondering if you could send me a 3d printed shell that I could add to it? I'd be willing to pay extra for it.

Super duper easy. Completely plug and play, with the Chrome app to change the key bindings.
3D printing is hard and the next batch is still being produced. Thank you all for your patience.

Yes it is! You simply plu in the tatacon to the device, then plug the device in to your computers usb slot. Simple as that!Loc wrote:
I´ve been thinking for a while to use a tatacon, is it easy to install this?
Hey awesome project monty. I had bought a tatacon and all the wii crap a while back but once i got osu open I found myself drowning in lag ;-;
poor tatacon has been sitting in the closet for months now thanks to that. I wish i had known about your project beforehand. Do you have that next batch(with cases) finished yet? I'd love to have a converter.

Received information from supplier:
-PCB has been ready.Thus new estimate is Mid June for more stock
-All of materials will be got on May 23.
-PCBA assembly will be started on May 24.
-The goods will be shipped on May 25.
Would be awesome, if that works...
Thinking about getting a tatacon drum maybe.

To all those following, thanks again for the patience
If you're thinking of buying one, could you fill this survey on case colour? I'll be able to offer white, black, blue and red and would like to know roughly how much to print of each. If there's big demand for another colour I will buy more filament.
PCBs have shipped and I should receive them within 2 weeks. It may take a bit longer to start shipping since that'll coincide with my exams for this semester. But almost there

Looking foward to get one, even if it will take a while
First of all, hi to the community. Noob here. Made an account just to write in this thread and discovered Osu! on the way
I wanted to congratulate montymintypie for such awesome board, one of the coolest I've seen in my life and this comes from someone with several Cave PCBs at home. I wanted to buy a couple of boards with blue and red boxes although my daughter would prefer pink I'll be checking for updates. Keep up the good work!

I'll be checking for updates. Keep up the good work!Just wondering, when the first post said to expect a resupply this June, is that recent (2016)? Does it work with cheap knockoff Tatacons? And does osu! automatically detect it when plugged in? And will this batch have cases?
Topic Starter
Yes, this June 2016! This parcel is taking its time to arrive at my house...
I own both genuine and knockoff, works on both. Even works on the very expensive Hori controllers.
Osu doesn't need to detect the drum as it pretends to be a keyboard. However I do like navigating songs with the drum, expect that to come to osu when it becomes open source.
Yes to cases for this batch - printer is ready!

Thoughts as I finalise cases - what option would people prefer?
- Cases are glued and cannot be taken apart without snapping. Stronger.
Cases are clipped and look a little worse, but can be taken apart if you want.
Just got into Taiko and am interested in this.
I probably wouldn't mod it, so I would prefer the glued version.

If the case is strong enough with clipped parts, i'd say you can go for clipped.
I dont mind if its glue or clipped for my reasons

Status update:
Cases will be strong and hold the board very well without the need for glue.
I have gone through many prototypes:
The cases for the old and new versions are on Thingiverse now.
Almost ready, but I am fixing some print quality issues. I want to make sure people receive the best quality product.

the cases look really nice! i already forgot which color i put down for myself when i submitted the form but i just want to say that i'm still really excited for these!
so whats the status for now? when are they going to be available?
They should be in stock very soon from what ive seen. Also this is for monty, i had a suggestion for a new color, the official osu! Shade of pink. I think it would be pretty nice to have that as a color option.mizuki-chan wrote:

Mere days away (for real this time!). I've finally got the quality up to scratch, the solution is to just print everything really slowly. I'm printing ~8 of each colour so I actually have stock to sell when I open orders. It's about 10 hours of printing so including breaks, 2 days absolute tops. Prepare your wallets
Have also ordered the next 50 PCBs. Stock issues should subside
You're making me broke. Purchased 3 new rolls - osu! pink, silver and lime green.AnimeGod2205 wrote:

Another new idea since they come in parts , why not offer multicolor ones?

The rear cover is far too small for me to make it an official option, but if someone wants to mix and match, just leave a note when you purchase.AnimeGod2205 wrote:
