Nope, I am based in Australia. Closer than America 
Is it possible for shipping to Korea to be cheaper than normal?
Topic Starter
Because the converter is small, I get away with pretending it's a "Large letter". Because of this, cost saving of sending to Korea is only 60 centscaptainblund wrote:

PM me if you're still interested 
I have sent a Pm.

It does not come with a drum, if that's what you're asking?Actually you answered what I was trying to askmontymintypie wrote:

I wonder if there is a set of drum in it.
So... it is just a converter...
Nevermind... I checked out a set of tatacon online
Everything are so expensive...

Yes, the drums are not cheapfanhoho wrote:

I am currently prototyping a "basic" version of the converter. It may be $15 instead of $25. I'm not sure if I can make it work. Shall see...

My prototypes arrived - due to differences in the USB and Nunchuck connector, they do not work. Oh well :\montymintypie wrote:

Having remembered this is a thing, I'm highly considering picking one of these up once I have the funds to afford getting a wii drum. Possibly after the holidays depending on circumstances. Would be something great to play around with when I'm not up for really hard songs.

Email notifications froze again, sorry for the delay.Jism wrote:
Will I need a wii controller for this?
No Wii controller required! The controller plugs directly into the converter as though it were a wiimote.
Nice! I sent my money through paypal, hoping that this converter will be pretty good.Thanks!
The adapter came in the mail in about 3 weeks, and there isn't any noticeable delay from it. The only thing I need to do is fix my tatacon's rim, the hits are not very accurate and I have to hit pretty hard for it to register. Overall I'd give the adapter a 10/10. My drum however gets a 3/10.
Wow, that seems great!
I'll be ordering one since I was given a knock off Taiko remote, but I actually want to try and replicate your work as a side project.
Thing is, I know next to nothing about Arduino and the likes.
How do I go about making my own Tatacon to USB converter?
I'm prepared to learn whatever it takes.

is this tatacon only? would this work on the wii fight stick?
Safe assumption that this doesn't work for the wii fight stick. May want to look into a different converter for that.
I just hoped on the taiko train, this seems really nice ~ Any updates on the refill ?
And since nobody ever asked ima ask here : can it work without installing Chrome - and ever better, can it be customised without using the Chrome app ? Mytoaster laptop's burning at 60°C without anything launched, so I'm not too keen on installing new softwares on top of that.

If I had a dollar for every missed 'new message' notification from the forums, I'd have... at least 6 dollars.
Oh, and sorry to crush the colourful people, but the next batch will be black only (unless you 3D print your own case). I've had ongoing issues with getting parcels out on time, and I don't like being that guy. Making them all black lets me pre-print everything for massive gains in shipment speed.
Arduino Leonardo (for keyboard emulation), nunchuck adapter for arduino ($1 off ebay) and communicate via I2C to the nunchuck. You can even use my code, just as long as you hook it up to the right pins.SugoiReborn wrote:

Refill coming ~soon~, waiting for my PCB fab to ship. You do need the Chrome app to configure things, but can uninstall it once you do, since it remembers the settings.Stalzak wrote:

Far longer than promised, but back in stock! And $5 discount for the next month.
USB adapter came in today. Works great! I have a question more so about osu. Is there any way to lower the sensitivity of drum hits? Because I feel like I have to hit really hard on the drum for it to register hits.

If it's an official drum, use this mod. If it's a chinese clone, you just have to hit harder :\
Yes, it's an official drum. Thanks for the link! Definitely going to look into this.montymintypie wrote:

Does all knockoff tatacon were made the same design? the official drum is very pricey
thinking of buying a knockoff since there is no way i can afford the official ones..
oh btw, is the discount still available? :3 /cheapskate

2 months late, I'm afraid. Knockoff is all the same (as far as I can tell) - design is simple and playable, you just have to hit don a little hard. And noisy. But it works well!

Sincere apologies, I've been overly busy in the leadup to Xmas - I should have posted an update sooner.TREEToTREET wrote:
What about srock? And how many does it cost at all if its possible to send this in russia?
I've got all the parts, just need to print cases + solder things together. I've been having some Z-axis issues where the USB connector doesn't fit through the final print, so I've expanded tolerances and will reprint soon. I expect to have stock shortly after Christmas, maybe only a few days after boxing day.

PS: Russia is same as everywhere else, $25 delivered.
