Fun and Powerful
Remember playing in the arcade? Wasn't it FUN? Shouldn't music making feel fun and not frustrating? Meet the 3D: 4 banks of 16 buttons means this is all you need to play a full song. The fully customizable LEDs let you create bright, eye-popping light shows.
Plays Like A Drum
Authentic Japanese arcade buttons are the highest quality button in the world, offering industry leading latency and an incredible feel. They bounce back with spring loading for ultra fast playback and easy triplets & drum rolls. It's popular for a reason.
Built Like A Tank
All 16 Sanwa arcade butons are made in Japan to the highest specification. Rated at 5 million presses, they will probably never break in your lifetime. Combine that with rock solid construction and zero moving parts? This will survive a serious beating.
