That reminds me of
Pop'n Music. I own the standard Pop'n controllers for DC and PS/PS2, but they weren't that pricey.

IIRC when I was working as a gametester on VOOT for US DC, I actually tried the Pop'n controller, to see if the game would crash. I forgot the result, though it did not crash.
There was a premium controller, but I never bought it:
