Customer Reviews
This is the first dance pad I've had since a crinkly 8bit plug & play I bought in middle school, so all I can really say is it's definitely a step up!
After playing a bit of Pump It Up at the arcade I've been wanting to give playing at home a try, so I was really excited to find a mat with panels for both games. Some concerns from other users have stuck out, but here's how they've felt for me:
- It's been easy for me to get used to the smaller size.
- It worked immediately on my Steam Deck with no 3rd party software needed (just mapping the controls in Stepmania/Outfox).
- The diagonals for PIU are a bit smaller than they would be on a dedicated pad, so I occasionally miss a step or two.
- I use the pad on a hardwood floor and haven't had any issues with it slipping around.
- Since the panels are all on the same surface, I sometimes find myself drifting off the pad and have to look down to find where I am, which could be frustrating if you're trying to FC a chart.
I can play DDR comfortably at around level 7, and it feels good to finally have a way to learn crossovers and intermediate techniques. Plus it's been a great cardio exercise!
Pad is very well made, with good quality foam and other materials. Feels exceptionally sturdy, manufacturer is well known in the ddr scene.
Performance wise the pad works as expected, and does not move around too much when in use.
Competent pad, capable of high level play with support.
This pad is really great. It feels good and doesn't move around much. My only complaint would be the slightly smaller size, but it didn't take too long to get used to it. All in all I don't think there is a better soft pad on the market.
Overall, it's a bit pricey, but I do think it's one of the most deluxe soft pads out there in the market right now. I've tested it on a variety of rhythm games! Here's my video review on it: https://youtu.be/Zb9jmWLsAbc
Best soft pad I've owned. The smaller size is noticeable but it only took me a few songs to adjust completely, and the pad feels so much more precise than my other softs that even while I was adjusting to the size change, I still preferred it!
Perfect if you want a mat that isn't flimsy, but is much more portable than the standard metal ones. Easy to put in a closet when not in use. You will definitely notice that the buttons are slightly smaller than standard.
This is a great option if you're a casual player looking for something slightly more affordable that doesn't take up space and is easy to store away. The quality is really good, it doesn't slide on wood floors, and it's compatible with PIU and DDR emulators on PC. The foam is quite firm, it's not foldable, and it doesn't scrunch up like cheap soft pads do. The only thing to keep in mind though is that it's smaller than the standard arcade size so if you're used to that, it takes some getting used to. I probably wouldn't recommend it to someone super tall.
