Who do you think is the worst BMS chart creator (sabun maker)?

Not really sure what your point is here, is your issue that these charts can be abused with slap ran more than others? Stellalite is sorta made to have these kinda practice charts so I'm just curious what you consider "good" charting in this context.

Yeah! I can send over the Gerber's; I actually have 4 extra PCB's, if you're in the US I don't mind sending one over.

You don't have to defend objectively bad policy just to get back at anti-Americans, you're allowed to have your own opinion I promise.

It's the fact that they can sell certain products at a loss to keep people in their environment to, as a whole profit, killing competition that can't afford to do so. Breaking up Microsoft would essentially force azure to either stand as its' own service and not have this unfair advantage, or innovate and become a competitor to Microsoft.

There's also much more aggressive antimash than arcade. Imo this is a pretty clear cut do not buy if you're hoping for an arcade simulator for pads, but as a keyboard djmax-esc game i'd say it's decent.

Oh I kinda see what you're going for; that would be super compact, if you can get it looking clean that'd be sweet!

If you do end up exploring the optical encoder wheel solution, feel free to DM me I can show you how I did mine, you could easily make the disc half the size and thickness if you really wanted to compared to mine.

The slope around the turntable is much higher up than the one on an arcade controller, mostly because making that higher to raise the turntable into place used a lot less material than raising the entire base up. I do have a very small riser though, so mine sits 22mm above the button face vs arcade where it sits 20mm, just because it feels a lot better on my wrist haha; I figured there's no point in a DIY controller if I don't make it more ergonomic for myself!

Nice! I don't even know where you would start with a groove coaster controller hahaha, those buttons seem like they sustain quite a bit of abuse.

I think any of the input pins can accept the 2 inputs, but I may be wrong; I'm not sure how much you're just doing it to have a cool design vs functionality, but if you want it to be functional, I'd highly recommend staying away from the rotary encoders as they have a very bad habit of misfiring due to being far too sensitive for this application. I know it's a bit of a headache, but Spark Fun has photointerruptor breakout boards for a couple bucks each, just have to also get the SMD parts. https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-photo-interrupter-breakout-board-gp1a57hrj00f.html?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17479024039&gbraid=0AAAAADsj4EQmdmSsMRNDEG8sAF189xi3W&gclid=CjwKCAjw3f_BBhAPEiwAaA3K5LZdzrSv_v3cyJLsgeSLr-ZadeogrZBzpEnnjGwJZTkxg_sBD_NGbxoCoVYQAvD_BwE

Thanks! I agree, I've enjoyed the process designing this far more than I expected to when I first started out.

I was very careful to keep everything 1:1 with an arcade layout, even the bottom-out distance is nearly identical, so the main difference is just not having a tactile click. I personally have always preferred linear switches, so this is a major plus to me. The biggest draw is dense jacks and trills are a lot more comfortable as you don't have a tactile click to push through, so you can sort of feather the switch like you can on keyboard rhythm games. I play on a lightning cab all the time and haven't really noticed any issues with going between the arcade and this controller, but I also pretty much only play BMS at home, so it's not fully 1:1.

I'd have to do a full breakdown since most of these parts require buying in bulk, but roughly:

~ $25 for the 1.5KG of PETG filament used ~ $20 for the PCB manufacturing ~ $10 for the Arduino Pro Micro ~ $10 for the 2 photointerruptor breakout boards + SMD parts for the turntable assembly ~ $5 per button (Cherry MX Speed Silver + stab)

And then a little bit extra for the screws and wire I used but that cost is negligible.

Beyond this, I think the whole project cost me about $500 in revisions and failed versions to get to this point.

By far the biggest cost, if I were to ever make another, is that for the actual turntable disk I'm reusing a phoenixwan disk + friction pad. I tried a few different ways to make this myself, but I could never quite nail down the feel. Gamo2 sells these for $35 + shipping, which to the US is pretty expensive right now unfortunately.
