Customer Reviews
Best pad I've used so far. Been playing 9- to 11-footers (itg scale) on it for over a year now with no issues.
Great pad very happy
This arrived way sooner than I expected. It was definitely packaged with care. Took it out of the box and had zero problems. I spent the vast majority of the day just playing on the pad. I was hesitant to get the hard pad due to the price. However, this was definitely worth the purchase!!
I did have to roll up my rug and move it out of the way to have the pad on the wood instead. I found it rocked a bit while playing on my rug. Zero issues once it was on the wood. So very happy with this! Thank you!!!
Quick and arrived when it said it would. Though I do wish I could order some more of the ddr arrow stickers.
These rock
I wasn't originally going to get one of these. In high school I used the basic Konami soft pad without any real issues but these days that style of pad seems to not be very reliable. Even the pads with foam inserts generally start to show issues for me after only about two months of daily use (about an hour a day). So, instead or wasting more money on those I decided to give this pad a shot and it is worth it. Over two months later, it performs the same as when I got it, which you'd probably expect if you're dropping several hundred dollars on something like this.
It's just slightly less sensitive than a soft pad but nothing I couldn't get used to. That said, the input is much more accurate and I no longer have ghost steps messing with my score. It is also modeled after the arcade so each arrow is slightly set lower than the center and corner panels. I didn't know how to feel about that at first since I play in socks but it's not a big deal and it does help me with step accuracy. One thing I didn't think about when I purchased this is that there are no start & back buttons on the pad itself, which was kind of annoying and meant I had to go to the keyboard between each track, so I got a cheap racing pedal array to set in front of it and that works just fine. One major positive is that it's heavy enough to basically stay in place in my carpeted floor whereas the soft pads would always shift around and need to be placed in front of the tv again after every song.
I'm mostly just happy that this thing works, hasn't shown issues yet like the expensive HDF soft pads, and seems to be serviceable with online tutorials if I run into problems later. So far, it's been great.
Product related: I started my experience with a cheap soft pad for the wii and caught the bug. I decided to upgrade and commit to the LTEK. Price is worth the construction of the unit and cost of a pre-imported pad. Very happy with its sensitivity and durability. I should've sprung for the one with button selector on it, but no regrets.
Service relate: Mega fast delivery, was expecting a solid 7 days and it came within 3-4 days.
I’ve almost bought an L-tek a bunch of times, but hesitated because of the price. Now that I’ve had one for a couple of weeks. I can confidently say it is worth the scratch; pay up and dance to your heart’s content.
