Works as described. Provides a definite upgrade to the standard Konami pack in mat.

An absolute must have for any l-tek pad user who wants to perform brackets.

I wasnt expecting much when I ordered it, but when using it, it was surprisingly more responsive and comfortable than expected. Idk how to change the color yet, but that might just be a skill issue.

I wish I would have purchased this dance pad sooner! I’ve had my eye on it for a few years & kept going through soft mats for periodic DDR use. This dance pad has completely transformed the experience & made my workout routine a lot more fun. Highly recommend this dance pad! Shipping was extremely fast & setup was so easy!

The DDR DVD drive works great, thanks for the fast and friendly service.

Absolutely awful experience. I bought this product a year ago when it appears to be a different mini computer (MBAX B1Pro)_ and it has been nothing short of a disaster that I've completely given up on. Could not handle step mania despite playing with every setting imaginable, the lag was atrocious on screen and with input.

Works fine for about 15 minutes and then it decides to randomly miss inputs, or it starts pressing arrows when it's not supposed to. Otherwise, it is a Decent quality mat and it feels pretty alright when it wants to work. Unfortunately, it does not like to be played for long sessions.

kinda sensitive but tbf i have the feet of a yeti

its very good

Everything about this shipment and product was fantastic. It came quickly, set up was so incredibly idiot proof, down to how the foam pads were stacked in order of how you would place them one by one. The instructions were super streamlined and specific. I was nervous I wouldn't be able to figure it out or that it would be a huge process but it really wasn't! I hooked it up to my TV with an HDMI and there is zero lag. I was a star at this game as a teenager. Now I'm almost 40 and am so excited to get back to it with my teenaged daughter!

It works wonderfully!
It works well with anything related to a PS1/PS2 dance mat.. it even works with a Beatmania controller!
I would buy again if I had to.

This was our first time trying a foam insert mat after more than 20 years of just regular plastic mats that needed replacing all the time. I really had no idea what a difference it would make! It moves significantly less, helps cushion the joints more (getting old sucks), and we have been getting consistently better scores on songs than we did on plastic mats.
It was easy to put the foam panels together, and getting it inside the mat/zippering up just took a little patience but after that it was good to go.
I got the one with the adaptor to be able to it to plug into ps2 and it worked perfectly. What I didn’t realize but was pleasantly surprised by was that it also had additional adaptors for other game systems that I thought I would need to purchase separately! I did have to reach out for help on a few things like getting it to work with OG Xbox but the solution was as simple as booting up the game before plugging the mat in.
Highly recommend for anyone who is on the fence or just wants a step up from the plastic mats, it feels like it will last and likely pays for itself honestly with how easy it is to burn through the plastic mats. (Our Cat also loves to lay on it, so he approves as well)

I thought LTek was sensitive enough but these helped tremendously especially for hitting the corner of the panels. Would recommend getting only the partial and putting them on the inside edge of each panel. The rest don’t seem necessary.

worked perfectly right out of the box. Thanks!

It’s comfortable but feel like buttons are always pressed properly. Also having trouble pressing Start

Works perfectly and now I can play stepmania on my PC with my cobalt flux game pad!

Getting back into DDR after ~25 years and took the plunge on this hard pad. Everything is great so far, received the item within 4 business days. I don't play anything past 10ish difficulty so sensitivity is fine as is. The pad is pretty heavy at around 40 pounds but doesn't move or slide. I put a workout mat under it to dampen the sound. The pad shows up as a USB joystick in Project Outfox so all that's needed is to map each of the four directions. The USB port on the pad is very well protected and the included 6' cable is long enough for my setup though they do sell a longer one. Overall a good hard pad if you have the available funds.

Works exactly like my old one that has long since dissolved. I’m glad I got the foam insert as well, it feels a little heartier while staying affordable. Had one minor issue which was that I broke the zipper trying to zip the pad around the foam insert. Luckily needle nose pliers came to the rescue and I opened the zipper pull up and then clamped it back down on the zipper track, but it would have been nice if it was a little more fortified

Great

Amazing! Very responsive!

Great quality- easy to implement- everything I get from DDR pad is top notch!

Very good mat so far, my mother is en-route to getting enough exercise again. I have also enjoyed a few dances upon the mat.

Plug and play with normal pad wiring used with tube lights, and much better brightness! Complements the panel arrow color very nicely.

The led replacement s for the original cold cathode tubes are awesome.
Very bright- gives the DDR a great dance floor refresh!

I absolutely love this pad! I've been looking for a decent hard pad for a while as soft pads just aren't cutting it for me. I did a lot of shopping around and the L-TEK Core seems to be the best value for money. I bought the penny mod but haven't really felt the need to install it yet as the sensitivity is pretty good. I just had to make sure to calibrate it with my old PS2 (in the DDR game settings) to ensure the timing was correct. I've played for about 60h in the past couple of months and had friends over who are more on the heavier side and we've had no issue. I would say this is definitely worth the purchase.
