(I hope this rates it as five stars!)
Received the item today, week after a payment by bank transfer. Arrived in good condition, with USB cable and Stepmania CD.
My FutureMax broke a while ago; comparing the product bought and FutureMax, this mat from Poland is superb! Really sturdy, I feel I can keep playing on this mat for a long time. Accuracy is great. The mat is a bit smaller in width than my FutureMax, a bit of getting used to is needed. There are no A or B buttons, but that’s only a small thing, my keyboard stays quite close to me while dancing. The feeling is very nice dancing on this map and it’s relatively quiet!
Managed to play some 8-9 footers with relatively good score (as I haven’t played for several months!), so thumbs up for the product! Really recommending this over a cheap plastic mat, the price is great for what you get, in my opinion! Really intensifies your dancing sessions as it’s more enjoyable.

I purchased 2 of these pads, and had them for 2 months now with near daily use, and I have to say, not bad at all
It is a very simple design, but it is worth it, even with the huge shipping price to United States.
If you like tweaking, it is easy to open up and maintain.
For shipping it over seas, they can not really control what happens to it, and one of the pad’s plastic corner bumper cracked in half, but it still does its job. One of the box’s Stepmania CD was also cracked. Not a big deal since you can easily download Stepmania and simfiles yourself.
The pad is very sturdy, and I am not afraid to let everyone wear shoes and stomp as hard as they want on it. For bigger people, the pad might bend under the weight, but it does not seem to affect game play.
One thing that takes getting used to is the high resistance and rather large dead zones. Corners are perhaps 2 inches of dead so bracketing is basically impossible. Edges are not too sensitive either. And for like double freeze arrows, if you are light weight, and don’t distribute your weight evenly and accurately, it might drop. If you play ITG, hitting notes with your hands is pretty painful.
I did a mod where I glued stacked paper to elevate the diamond shaped padding under the arrow panels. More thickness = more sensitivity. Even the dead zone is reduced. However, because they are simple metal contact plates, less resistance is more prone to misfire/multifire.
I did experience an issue with the controller chip shorting and overheating maybe for being plugged in and on for too long, but the couple kindly helped me out with everything, and sent me a replacement chip to solder myself. The board uses a lot of Hot Glue Gun, so removing the faulty board was kind of difficult.
One last problem is that the one panel started losing connection. The problem turned out to be the solder that connects the wire to the metal plate cracked under stress, but it was hiding inside the glue. If it ever happens to you, cut away some glue, re-solder, and pad it with Hot Glue again. I would say a flaky connection problem is very unlikely to be anywhere else.
Another thing I want to note if you are planning your DDR setup, is that the aluminium edges in the picture looks like it might be 1 inch wide or pretty close to arcade spacing for Doubles play, but mine was a thin flap about 3/16 inch thick.
On this pad DDR level 16~17 is very possible, and I would expect the pad to be good enough to do any song, though it will no doubt be more strenuous than on an arcade machine.

Been using it for few days now and couldn’t be more happy with it. The sensors are great, and the overall quality is more than I expected.

Just received it and it is very responsive!. I bought it after reading some good reviews here and reading some comments online about this being a very good dance pad. The price for such a quality dance pad is extremely low. They even let you customize the middel panel. If you live in europe they ship very fast and there are no import fees! Would really recommend.

I’ve had the pad for about a month and thoroughly enjoying. I live in the US and it took about 2-3 weeks to arrive.

Item arrived in perfect working condition. Very happy with the quality of this so far, Been getting lots of people back into DDR with this and it’s seen much use in the last month with no signs of wear.

Bien reçu ce tapis après deux semaines d’attente, en très bon état, fonctionne parfaitement, reconnu directement par Windows 10.
Je viens de le recevoir, donc en attente de l’utilisation dans la durée.
Received corectly after 2 weeks. Easy setup and configuration. Go for it.

After 2 months of intensive usage I can truly recommend this mat. Keys are still as responsive as they were at first day. Thanks to it’s weight, mat doesn’t move during dancing making control of your position on it a lot easier without looking down. Really, it’s totally different experience comparing to using cheap soft mats.
Configuration is also really easy – just plug, set key bindings and play.
So if you start playing on higher dificulties like 10+ (in Stepmania), think no more and buy it.

Anyone have an update on the status of their pad? Also, are these compatible with DDR games on the PS2?
Thanks,
Dan

Reviewing almost 10 months owning this dance mat, item still works perfectly. I’ve used this mat for a total of over 100 hours since I have bought it and it is still in perfect working condition. Truly great craftsmanship. Today I cleared MAX 300 on heavy difficulty with no bar using this pad (I got a B).
AndreaAngel44 (verified owner) –
Absolutely in love with this mat! It took around 2 weeks to receive from my order date and the team was very responsive when I asked for updates. It also comes with a StepMania disk to install which is wonderful to use on PC, because then I can go to their website and pull all the songs I want to play. Even older DDR games for the PS2 are available and more. The mat is very responsive and I am comfortably able to play on Standard/Heavy difficulties. I am now in the process of trying to make a bar/handle to hold on to. Thank you guys for continuing to make these!

Our hand bars/rails should be ready to send at the begining of September. It took lot of time to design construction that fits small box and it’s easy to assembly by everyone. And has afforabble price… So stay tuned!

I own one of those. The build quality of the pad is very nice, although the sensitivity is not optimal on the outside of the panels, because the sensors are in the center.

I had my pad shipped to the UK and received it after just over two weeks. I am very pleased with the quality and how sturdy it is. The handle bar is also a great addition and has enabled me to play songs on difficult mode. I have been using my pad for a few hours a day and so far I have no complaints.

This is a great pad. It’s also the only viable option at this price range – good for anyone who’s ready to graduate from a fabric/foam pad, but not ready to hunt down a cabinet or wait for an SMX.
Been using this pad for a year, still works perfectly. It has taken me from beginner to ITG stamina 13’s.
It’s easy to open the panels and make them more sensitive by doing the well-documented “penny mod” (taping pennies between the two plates of the sensor). I recommend this when you get to higher levels or want to play ITG stamina.
Joseph Whitt (verified owner) –
VERY good pad. It’s honestly the best home pad I’ve ever played on. It’s nice and heavy so it doesn’t slide around, and the panels are actual ‘panels’ like on an arcade pad. You can also penny mod it for extra sensitivity, which works out great.
I can play songs up to level 18 (DDR scale) with no issues.
Would definitely recommend this for any dedicated DDR player that wants a really good pad, but doesn’t want to blow $700+ on an arcade pad or SMX.
