 Overall, worth the moneyJul 28, 2010
By Leah
I bought one of these Dance pads after doing tons of research. It came in the mail very quickly (though I bought from step2ddr, not amazon). There is a connector box that goes between the pad and the system for some reason that has the "start" and "select" buttons on it. This is the only stupid feature about the product. It has caused the pad to short out a couple times. My SO and I play very heartily on this pad (about 2.5 hours a day since June 1) and it is sturdy enough to handle our constant barrage of steps. The buttons work great in terms of sensitivity! There has been no cracking on the arrows, the sensor zone is large, and the sunken arrows really create an ease of play. You must wear shoes for this pad or you will hurt yourself!
UPDATE: It's been about 6 months of owning the dance pad, and a week ago, one of the buttons finally cracked. This hasn't affected gameplay at all, but if it ever did, you can purchase new ones (they're easily removeable). The pad will short out from time to time, but that happens to me a lot less than it does to my SO - maybe it's a weight thing. It's corrected by disconnecting and reconnecting the cables.
If I didn't own this pad, I wouldn't be nearly as good at DDR as I am now. It's very fun and pretty, and I'm proud to own it. There's no feeling like being able to play DDR on a hard pad every day for as long as you want without having to pay. It's well worth the initial money, and the small issues are pretty standard on many gaming items. I have a feeling I'd still be shelling out $20-50 every few weeks or months if I continued to try to use the soft/semi-hard pads.
 do not buy!Jun 07, 2011

I bought this dance pad after much frustration with a soft cheaper version that my family practically abused. (we used it probably like 2 hours a day, heavy use) I thought by buying the metal one i would not have that problem. I plugged it in to the computer ( i used the USB) and i thought i just didint know how to use it because it was barely responding. i had to jump really hard to get any kind of response. the top arrow was completely broken. I packed it up and was also very frustrated when i emailed that i wanted to return it. After a couple emails, back and forth, by the last one i was pretty rude and frustrated and they finally gave me an address to return it to. At first i was given a number of the owner i guess to call and say what was wrong. i called and it was the wrong number (i wasn't given any email address). Ive always been happy in general with amazon, but this was a really bad experience! I'm planning on buying another soft one, and it will last as long as it will
