''Konami ASC'' - The official arcade-style controller by Konami. It's huge, it's pricey, and for some, it's worth it. The price tag is quite hefty, but with arcade perfect dimensions, clicking keys, and switchable from first player to 2nd player, lots of people have purchased them. Expect to pay around $350-400 when all is said and done. | ''Konami ASC'' - The official arcade-style controller by Konami. It's huge, it's pricey, and for some, it's worth it.

== There's a port on the side of my beatmania IIDX controller and I can't fit my finger in there? What is it for? == | == There's a port on the side of my beatmania IIDX controller and I can't fit my finger in there? What is it for? == | ||
The port is meant for a foot pedal for beatmania III, but no home versions of beatmania III have been made. You can plug in a pedal from the drummania home controller into it, and triggering the pedal acts as a scratch. Cool, but mostly pointless. | The port is meant for a foot pedal for beatmania III, but no home versions of beatmania III have been made.
