beatmaniaIIDX ENTRY MODEL controller

Recently, I bought a beatmaniaIIDX ENTRY MODEL controller from the used game shop in Akihabara. I was suprised because BEMANI games and controller are significantly scarce and expensive.

This controller was intended for the beatmaniaIIDX ULTIMATE MOBILE for iOS and Android device which uses Bluetooth connection. Although, this is also compatible with the beatmaniaIIDX INFINITAS for PC connected through cable.

The ENTRY MODEL controller was the reborn PS2 version, omitting the PS2 port. The ENTRY MODEL uses membrane in the keys, therefore, it is susceptible in sticky keys. Because it is intended for mobile devices, the controller can be power up by 3 AAA batteries.

In comparison in the with the PS2 JKOC, ENTRY MODEL is visibly thicker. The turntable of the also smaller than the PS2 JKOC, and ENTRY MODEL is longer than the PS2 predecessor.

Right now, I don't know its availability in Konami esport store in Ginza as Konamistyle website has been blocked viewers from outside Japan.
