Topic: Dance pad


  
  Dance pad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A dance pad, also known as a dance mat or dance platform, is a flat electronic game controller used for input in dance games.
Most dance pads are divided into a 3×3 matrix of square panels for the player to stand on, with some or all of the panels corresponding to directions or actions within the game.
It is also possible to modify a pad by attaching it to a hard surface and optionally covering it with clear material; this can increase pad life and keep it from slipping around.

 DriverHeaven.net: RedOctane Afterburner Metal Dance Pad
While there are “soft” dance mats mad out of cheap foam materials, dancers who wish to play the more difficult songs without an endless bombardment of problems should invest in a metal dance pad.
This pad is a one piece metal frame that weighs about 40 pounds, so it’s reasonably easy to transfer it from one room to another or put it away once you’re done for the day.
Durability is a major issue amongst dance pads simply because no gamer wants to spend hundreds of dollars only to have their pad break after a couple of weeks.

While the "game stop" pad only has 120 days, it is still a good introductory pad for the money and at 20 bucks is a real good deal.
If the pad is not secured, when you slip, this internal foam becomes stretched internally allowing a lot of slack to occur.
If you tape down the pads firmly, you are much less likely to have internal stretching and bunching of the foam, and thus the pads will last longer.

Even the pads that are advertised as 'non-slip' tend to slide around the floor like crazy when you're dancing.

 Deluxe Dance Pad V.3.1 Hardware Review
You’ve noticed by now that the pad slides around a bit on carpet, sometimes it doesn’t register a step and you lose a combo, or you just have a hard time telling what button you’re actually on.
Before I found the fourth pad, I spent $19.99 for a 3rd party pad that is worse than the one the game came with and I dropped $35.99 for a universal pad (Xbox and PS2) that works about as well as the Konami pad.
I’ve tested the pad for a little over eight hours, and it has yet to miss a step that I was sure I hit.

 IGN: RedOctane Ignition Dance Pad Review
The Ignition Pad is an exact imitation of the basic design of the old Konami Deluxe pad.
If you've never seen one of those, it's a sandwich of sorts -- two pads are connected with a zipper around the edges to encase a sheet of foam (like the Konami Manner Cushion) that stiffens the whole package and gives it enough bulk to stop slippage.
Even considering that the yen was stronger when that pad released a couple of years ago, that's still approximately $20 more for a pad which I wouldn't quite consider the equal of the official DX pad, and twice the price of the regular Konami pad or one of RedOctane's baseline pads.

 Viva la Dance Pad Revolution!
The Dance Dance Revolution that is. Have you been to the arcade and seen the gamers doing their moves and secretly wished you could the same thing at home?
All DDR dance pads are essentially the same; four arrows for you to step on when you are dancing, a central rest area, and A/B buttons for next and back commands.
While you may not be putting hundreds of hours on the pad in a few weeks, wear and tear on this unit should be a concern.
