Comparison: pop'n music mini controller 1 and 2

pop'n music is a long time arcade game since 1998 with more than 23 version since its release. During its early years, KONAMI released a home version of the game from PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and short lived for Dreamcast and PC. Of course! in order to mimic the game experience is to have a controller similar to the arcade, however, they are small in size.

They released a mini controller for pop'n music. The mini controller has two versions, the mini 1 and mini 2. The first controller was released in 1999 for PlayStation and Dreamcast and the mini controller 2 was released around 2002 for PlayStation 2.

Both controllers almost have the same dimensions but different on buttons and color variations. The buttons of the first mini con are flat, where the mini con 2 are dome like shape similar to the arcades. The first one have transparent variation, while the mini con 2 has white for stand-alone controller only and limited edition yellow bundled with pop'n music 10 CS.

Tried both controllers and mini con 2 has my vote unlike the first mini con because I won't have to look on the controller while playing. If you want to play pop'n music with real arcade experience, an Arcade Style Controller (ASC) is also available blog entry kindly click here.
