I recently bought DDR and needed an extra pad so scanning through my options I found this one for around 5 dollars so I thought I would give it a try. And I got what I paid for. Half of the time the buttons don't work when you press them so if you are trying to use this mat for points or challenges it isn't worth the time. The mat slides all over the place while you are using it so you have to stop and adjust it after each song. But for 5 dollars I shouldn't have expected a great mat. I don't think I would recommend any one buying this mat since shipping costs more than it does and you are frustrated by the time you finish playing. I would say just spend a little extra money and get a nicer mat.

At first, the pad seems like it would be a difficult one to play on due to it's surface, but it's actually a little better than the regular pads from 2003. However, it still inches across carpeted floors with extended use.

The only problem that comes to my mind while writing this review is getting the corners to lay flat when playing on it. They still tend to curl up as if it's just been taken out of the package.

I bought this for my kids for Christmas so they would have 2 dance pads for the DDR game. All my kids love the game (even my married daughter and son in law.) But after two days the pad would not work and I am in the process of returning it. It is frustrating to give a gift that breaks so quickly and because I bought it on-line, the return process is very slow.

This product is cheaply made and breaks easily. If you are looking for a Dance Dance Revolution controller, make sure it is the original. Konamai, the originator of Dance Dance Revolution games, makes the only controller that is tried and true. Third-party controllers are cheaply made and not very durable. Remember, this controller will be stomped on with impact and frequency. I bought one for a gift and was embarrassed to find that it did not last more than a day of use. After I took it back to replace I noticed how cheaply made it was. I got the Konami brand controller and noticed a big difference in material quality and workmanship. The Konami controller never gave the recipient any problems. Be sure to to take the time to ask the seller if it is made by Konami or you'll get a cheaply made third-party one. There are many other Dance Dance Revolution controllers being sold here so check. I just want to inform others so that they don't make the same mistake I did. The lesson is you get what you pay for. It's cheap for a reason.

The mat bunches up underneath your feet... the pad that comes in the bundle with the game is _much_ higher quality.

I purchased two of these pads and both are defective. One didn't even work at all and the second didn't survive one full night of DDR. I do not recommend these pads - I would say buy the more expensive ones with the foam pads inside - they may cost more but those would be more durable than these flimsy ones.

I received this dance mat at the beginning of July and after using it once a week since then for 45 minutes, one of the buttons is sticking or not registering pressure. It's cheap for a reason; spend the extra cash and get a better dance mat that will last more then 4 months.

Sure, it isn't the most durable or slip proof dance pad, but it's definitely great for beginners and low-impact use. I just got into Stepmania so I'm not exactly "1337" at dance pads, so it was perfect for me. It slips a bit when you start moving fast which can get annoying, but the game's fun, so you'll get over it. Overall, for the price, (6$) I think it was a great buy.

The dance pad arrived shortly after it was ordered, and works marvelously. I haven't yet encountered any problems, and doubt I will. No extra info. was needed in the description - this is just what was needed

Well, I thought I was getting the same type of pad that came with the game itself, but I was so wrong. I bunches up under my feet while playing, and one good step has sent it flying right across the carpet more than once. If you can manage to keep it still (placing a towel beneath it helps), then it's pretty good at accurately reading your steps... but that's only if it doesn't cause you to wobble and fall. A decent Beginner pad, but if you're playing on Standard (Difficult) or above, this is not for you! Just spend the 20$ or so on the real one!!
