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!

aww that sucks :( very new to taiko like a few days old lol. got bored with mania and decided to try something new. but I have always been fascinated with taiko drums! (the arcade)

i see. well guess i will only get to play during the day then if i were to get it

oh btw, may i know which type of knockoff drum do you own?

is it this kind

What about srock? And how many does it cost at all if its possible to send this in russia?
Sincere apologies, I've been overly busy in the leadup to Xmas - I should have posted an update sooner.

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.

-mon

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

Still waiting for the parcel, but while I wait, I got hard numbers on latency.

Using my scope, I had 1 probe connected to a piezo mic, and another to the LED of the converter. This LED updates at 1KHz, the same rate as the USB update rate.


I then smacked the drum 50 times, and recorded the delay between the moment the piezo started to respond, and when the converter registered a hit. An example measurement:


After 50 hits, here are the results:
Average: 1.802ms
Median: 1.77ms
Std Deviation: 0.44454517
Min: 1.1ms
Max: 2.78ms

Rounding the max value up, I can confidently say that there is an absolute worst case 3ms lag. And average lag of 1.8ms. This is imperceptible. Lagfree = confirmed!
Well, I hope that this actually works :) Anyway, where can I buy dis thing :D

i am so interested in this and taiko is something i am starting to really get addicted to so i am going to buy a tatacon converter tomorrow.

so just plug it in and get the TaTaConfig on crome web store and turn on the osu! settings for it and its all set for a beating?

i hope i am lucky and they both arrive on the same day.
KonaHaruhi

if you're happy with the default keyboard bindings, you don't even need the config app at all! Plug and play :)

Phew.. 7 months since anyone said anything- luckily I do have a specific reason!

Does anyone know if MontyMintypie still sell these or is it completely inactive? I tried contacting the sellers email(just to ask a few questions) and PM on this community but no response, so I figure I try asking here on the forum where maybe anyone might know? xD (Worth a short!)

Have replied to your mail - still here, still selling, still shipping!

Hey montymintypie! Are you still selling the USB adapters? I wrote you a few weeks ago to sales@mon.im and got no resply. I would like to purchase 2 of your awesome adapters if possible...
raiyoku
Hi,
I wanted to buy a Tatacon to USB converter but Paypal told me you don't have any left. So I wanted to ask if you had any left somewhere or if you would produce more of them sometimes.
Animaitor
Nice, it looks like I'm not alone. Hopefully montymintypie comes back the the forum.
ScorpionGaming
Yo, it may be a stupid question, but can the Drum be directly connected to the adapter, or do I need a Wiimote too?
Topic Starter
montymintypie
Directly connected, no wiimote required.

I'm going to produce more in the coming months, if you still want one after such a long delay...
ScorpionGaming
Hmm gonna buy this when it comes back to stock.

Also, Will I be able to somehow bind the keys with the TaTaConfig extension to get it to work on a PS4?
Topic Starter
montymintypie
I think you might need an adapter to convert keyboard -> PS4. PS4 needs a specific controller layout if I recall correctly, that I don't supply.
ScorpionGaming
Ok, got it. Thanks for the extremely fast replies!

EDIT : Hey sorry for asking so much, but can You map the TaTaConfig settings to mouse keys? If Yes i would not need a Keyboard to PS4 adapter.

montymintypie
It's keyboard keys, but you can map them yourself.

That means that I can't map mouse buttons here?

No, not mouse buttons.

Welp rip

Still a great product tho
Animaitor
Holly crap! He's alive!!! (^_^)y I'm still interested. What should I do to order 2 adapters?
Topic Starter
montymintypie
Simply wait - I have a new design I need to verify and Switch support I need to code for (the main blocker). I promised this over a year ago but I just haven't been able to dedicate the time after work to make it happen :|
Animaitor
Great! What's the reason behind the design revision if you don't mind asking? I'm just interested on the Wii (Wii-U) adapters as those tatacon are the ones I own. Please update us once you get more in stock.

montymintypie
The connectors are difficult to get a hold of and fairly expensive, so I'm redesigning with PCB based connectors and a second connector since I have room.
Korrui
Ooo I’m still alive btw lol. I’m excited to see the revision! Might buy it just to test it out after it’s done haha
Animaitor
Wow, it's been a whole year since the last message. Hope eveyone is well and healthy.


montymintypie, how is the new PCB revision going? I can see your shop still let me buy your adapters. Do you have any in stock?

Last I checked with him he's really behind and works been taking up a lot of his time. He's still getting him out but the orders have gotten to a point where he needs more people to get them out but doesn't have the funds. This was about a 2 months ago though so I could DM him if he doesn't see this first.
