【Hobby】Feel like a train driver! A super realistic simulation with a real-like driving handle
Discover a “toy” that even adults can get excited about. The high-end model of the dedicated controller "ZuiKimasuCon", which allows you to drive like a real train in a switch simulation game, has finally arrived. Currently, crowdfunding is underway, and if you join now, you’ll get a whistle pedal included!
The "ZuiKi Mascon," developed by ZuiKi, features a notch mechanism that provides a real-like tactile feedback.

It has recreated the master controller (mascon) that train drivers use to operate trains, compactly designed to look just like the real thing. It includes sounds and feedback from the notch mechanism, as well as an emergency brake, allowing you to experience the feeling of being a train driver that you dreamed of as a child.

This is a licensed product from Taito and Nintendo, and can be played by connecting to the Switch, compatible with software such as "Densha de Go!! Hashiro Yamanote-sen" and the "Tetsudo Nippon! Rosentabi" series. Additionally, the high-end model "ZuiKi Mascon PRO" is designed specifically for computers, with options for gauge monitors and a variety of enhanced functions.
The control buttons and reverse handle have been newly adopted

Looking at the main unit, it has overall become larger, and the grip size is now closer to the real thing. It has become easier to hold, making it possible to operate more intuitively. Additionally, a gradient start button has been newly added to the right handle.

Moreover, control buttons necessary for operation, such as the door closing lamp, ATS confirmation button, and EB reset button, are also equipped. Furthermore, the adoption of a reverse handle with a master control key represents a significant change from the simple operation of just pushing and pulling.
The instrument monitor is sold exclusively through green funding

The added peripheral device, the instrument monitor, is a special specification of 12.4 inches with a 3:8 aspect ratio. It allows you to check instruments such as speedometers, pressure gauges, and current, and not only can you operate it, but you can also experience a real driver's perspective.

Until April 30th, a warning horn pedal is included for a limited time, so using it in conjunction with the instrument monitor could create an environment very close to an actual driver's seat!
