Soft Pad for DDR & PIU - USB (PC, Mac, Linux)

Shipping was fast. I received a new pad that works great with my PS 2 and PC. The directions were easy to understand and I will keep them in case I need them in the future. I’ve been wanting to play Dance Dance Revolution. I haven’t played since I was a kid so I’m happy to have this working. Thank you!

Found this dance mat for my PS2 from a FB group. I ordered it, worried it might not work or may not arrive. But it came in the mail in about 3 business days here in Texas.
I opened the box & everything was brand new and works perfectly!!!! I'm so happy to play again and try Stepmania on my PC as well.
Highly recommend!

The mod i made turned out really well — the precision is great, and I had no issues with the PC detecting it. Very good, too bad i couldn't buy de 9 panels one :(

I use the ddrpad to play my custom game written with Gamepad API in web browser. Very cool!

So we've been using our pad for several months now, I was concerned it would quickly rip or the buttons wouldn't work, but surprisingly, it's doing fine, even after several uses by two large adults. We used free software to pair it up with Step Mania. I'm surprised at how well it works, given that it's just a soft pad.

It's convenient that it can be rolled up or packed away easily.

However, if I was buying again, I'd get a harder pad second time around. This one has a tendency to scrunch, especially if you're not wearing socks (I recommend wearing socks) and I have a feeling the game would just be easier to play if it didn't scrunch around so much as you are using it. Our pad is on a rug, I don't know if that's better or worse than hardwood for scrunching, I suspect better.

If 40 dollars is pushing your budget, this will work fine if you don't mind the scrunching. If you can afford a little more though, I'd go for a harder model than this one, especially if getting a good score is important to you.

We bought it to make getting some cardio more fun, which it definitely does, so we're not super concerned with the score, my only concern is if it gets my heart rate up, and it does that just fine, it excels, DDR is TOUGH! We play on easy, and we take turns with the one pad (my partner and I) and we're WIPED out after 30 minutes.

So overall, it's better made than I was expecting! -1 star for the scrunching, other than that, no complaints!

So after 3 weeks of testing this pad I can definitely say that what you're paying for is what you're getting.

It's great! Do not get me wrong, but, within the first 3 days of light use (PIU Lvl. 2-6 charts and DDR 4-7) there were some notable things such as some of the sensors not working for the arrows or rather inputs where not being recognized when stepping. I expected this would've been an issue that happened but not as soon as it did which disappointed me a bit due to the expensive shipping I had to pay (almost half the price while on the US).

That said, I do believe it was a good product for someone that lives quite far from an arcade and served as a good introduction for my wife to learn how to play pad rhythm games. I did wish the bottom of the pad came with some anti-slip material as the pad almost made me slide to a fall several times! Just that would've made my review 5 stars.
