When i see UNIVERSAL Im thinking that this one pad hooks up to all the systems listed on the box and in the description. But when you buy the universal pad it only comes with one wire and it only hooks up to the WII. So im thinking to myself how does this hookup with the other systems and the PC ? it didn't come it other pieces to attach to the one wire or anything. I picked up 2 of them and both are the same. If something it truly universal then all pieces should be included in the package, otherwise you can only use it with the wii.

This is one of the thin (non-padded) types of pads. I bought it knowing that these pads tend to 'wander' around the room when you're using them, but I planned on strapping it to a board and adding my own padding materials, so that was fine.

I really like this pad a lot. It's extremely responsive and sensitive; I didn't end up with unearned boo's as I have with some less-responsive pads.

The other great thing is, I can use it on my PS2 and then immediately unplug it and plug it into my PC.

Because it's universal, it isn't limited to the four directions, 2 buttons, and start/select -- it also has the bottom left/right buttons, which is helpful in games (such as those on the PC game StepMania) that can use those extra buttons (the PS2 just ignores them).

I did try it out to make sure it worked, before I went through the trouble to strap it to a board, and found that it doesn't wander as much as some other pads do; the tacky rubber-like gripping material on the bottom is pretty decent. Still, I highly recommend buying a piece of pegboard from a hardware box store, cut it to the right size, and duct-taping the pad to it. It makes a huge difference.

This works well, doesn't slide around on the floor too much. The buttons are the perfect size for feet so the back button is easier to hit than other pads I've used.

I bought this to use with Walk It Out. I should have done more research because it is a Konami game and only their pads will work with it. However this company is calling it a "universal pad" which maybe for game systems it is but for games it most certainly is NOT. I rated it poorly because of the poor advertising. 20 dollars wasted and lessoned learned. Make sure the game supports 3rd party equipment and beware of the word "universal".

I had a bit of trouble in the beginning. The wires underneath had shifted during shipping. But once I fixed them, they work great!!

Realmente es excelente, esta hecha de buen material, funciona perfectamente en el nintendo WII y tambien el PS2, la verdad que esta a muy buen precio.

RECOMENDADA.

This product did not work right out of the box. Then it cost me almost $10.00's to mail it back. Not a good deal!

So the item says universal dance pad and on the pad it says compatible with Dance Dance Revolution, however when I try to use it it wont work so I look online and it says it is not compatible with DDR hottest party 2 or 3 on the wii, so what good is it if it only works for 1 game? its not of any use and unless you have a ps2 its a waste of money, and horrible marketing

The DDR 2 Game is great, but these pads will not work with them. You have to have the original kunomi pads, which are available at Best Buy!

While it is really nice to have a second pad for Dance Dance Revolution, this one bunches very easily, moves around, and rolls up. I have hardwood floors, so maybe it would work better on carpet, but next time I will just purchase DDR 2 and get a second Wii pad which works much better.
