Beatmania IIDX SILENT Sanwa Button Set OBSAE-MB45UK-SA01

Thank you!

First, I'd like to highlight Blue Spring Express's amazing customer service. Shipping to the USA became unreasonably difficult due to a certain administration's foreign trade "policy". After a long delay and three trips across the Pacific, the order finally made it here thanks to BSE going above and beyond to work through the logistics. I can't thank them enough for doing everything they could to fulfill the order. As for the buttons themselves, they definitely feel different to press compared to normal Sanwas due to the rubber material. The feel is comparable to an unmodded JKOC. After a few hours getting used the new feel, I'm able to play 12s just fine, with the added bonus of my next-door neighbors no longer wanting to kill me. If noisy play is a concern for you, then I highly recommend these, with the caveat that there will be an adjustment period.

Interesting product

If you're accustomed to Sanwa buttons, these will initially feel quite different. There's a learning curve, but once you adjust, they perform well. However, they're not for everyone. Some players will undoubtedly prefer the tactile feedback and louder click of traditional Sanwa buttons. Personally, while I wouldn't call them exceptional, they meet my needs perfectly. The significant reduction in noise allows me to play demanding charts at any time without disturbing others in my household.
