Rules:

I am not saying these games are harder but for me the controls seem less intuitive than DDR. Rather than up down left and right the controls are more linear and there are more buttons. I find it hard to play these other benami games. I guess I am not used to them but even so they seem to be taking me longer to pick up than DDR. The hardest for me being IIDX. I always lose track of where I am going.

I live in a small apartment, thinking of buying an Ltek pad- is it easy/practical to lean the pad against the wall in a corner when I'm not using it?

Sooooo I've been wanting an L Tek mat for a while now and the Ex Pro 2 is currently on sale for 311 $ CAD. However, when I was finalizing my purchase I got jumpscared by the shipping cost, which was 213$ CAD. What. I'm just wondering if any other canadians out there managed to buy from them before, and if so, at what shipping cost to be shipped to your area? Has it always been around that price? Is this a Quebec thing? I really want one but I can't get over the total price with the shipping cost :(

Hi guys. I ordered some pads from B2l just over 5 weeks ago and they still haven't even been shipped. I've emailed a few times and they keep telling me they are having problems with suppliers etc and keep extending the date they will get it completed and shipped.

Has anyone recently ordered? I'm a little concerned that im just getting scammed at this point from a couple posts i've seen here and there on them. Let me know if you have any experiences dealing with them!

I may be getting old but I can still move.

I ordered an LTEK pad (super excited) and I plan to play in my basement on the concrete floor. What should I put underneath the pad (if anything)? I've got a rug I can use, but should I get something thicker? Are home-gym/playroom foam pads a good idea?

Along a similar vein, is it better to play in sneakers rather than barefoot? What are some tips to get the longest lifetime out of this pad?

Thanks!

Hi folks, somewhat confused by the combinations of things… I have an old Wii and I bought a copy of DDR Hottest Party 5. Looking for a basic beginners mat. Will this work?

Thanks 🙏

Basically the title. I want to play DDR at home but I need to make sure I don't disturb those around me. I already know I will be limited to the first floor of an apartment building. Does anyone have experience with this? Will the floor rattle and bother people around me? Am I limited to a house, separate from any neighbors?

For starters, I am starting to read books again and I wanted to get into the history of DDR. I have heard online that’s there’s already a book that talks about the history of the game from 1998 to around the 2000s. But I can’t find any traces of that specific book. Any answers is appreciated, thanks!

Hey everyone,

I'm a newbie picking up their first metal pad, and I'm going with Ltek's "EX PRO 2 Metal" one. I'm set on the metal, but customer service told me the Start/Select button isn't compatible with the metal pads.

Without a select button, how tedious is it going to be navigating the Stepmania menus? Am I going to need to lean over and grab a mouse each time? Can I set up a Bluetooth Xbox/PS controller to navigate the menus between songs?

Also, I noticed they sell refurbished PCs on the cheap with Stepmania pre loaded. Anyone have any experience with these, or are they not worth it?

Big thanks in advance for any advice or input!

I’m looking for a list of terms and definitions for those terms related to Dance Dance Revolution. Ex: scooby doo, jacks, stream, gallops, etc. Thanks 😊

Hi My daughter put a dance matt on her xmas list, I dont have a huge budget but some of the plug and play dance matt's look horrendous. My wife used to have DDR on the PS1 and says that was way better than these modern things look.

So is that the case? I could buy a plug and play dance matt for around £50 on Amazon, or just pick up a ps1 with a dance matt for around the same on Ebay.

Any feedback greatly appreciated

Recently got into DDR. Been really enjoying the arcade and decided to try my hand at a diy pad. Really happy with how it came out. Should be able to keep up with my skill level for quite a while.

Just curious about how the LTEK dance pads work with PS2 games. I know I need the connector for it, but I was wondering how the buttons/pads work. I am looking at getting the LTEK EX Pro X pad and I didn't know if there are cross (x), circle, square, and triangle button pads on these dance mats. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I just want some clarification before purchasing. Thanks for any info provided!

It took me a lot of attempts to get a Flawless Combo in DDR A20 Plus, but I did it!!!
