I couldn't wait to get playing. I played for a couple hours and it was "good". But after that, the down arrow wouldn't work. You would hit it and it didn't do anything. I got three words for you Don't Buy One. My cousins have Konami brand ones and they work great.

Good for a day

This pad works very very well, for one day... After the first night the back button went out. I read a few other comments and apparently its not just me haveing this problem. Dont blow your money on this pad. There are plenty out there that work better. I just got a $19 cheepO pad that works better this this PoS

No good for xbox live!

This is a pretty good pad UNLESS you are using it on xbox live. It will not show up on xbox live as a dance pad, so people think you are using a standard controller and don't want to play against you.
Naki has been totally unresponsive in answering my questions about this.
We have two of them and they both exhibit the problem.

Great cheap pad

If your looking to spend the least possible to get an actual dance pad, then this ones for you. This pad is basically the generic standard for the xbox and ps2 ddr games. The pad serves the purpose and works quite well. So far, it has not missed any step of mine. The reason it doesnt get 5 stars is becuase it does slip quite often on a carpet, but this can be solved by duct taping it to a hard plastic carpet pad (I dont know what its called, its the thing you put on the ground so you can roll your chair on it). It also can bunch up when you play on the harder difficulties with more steps. Dont use shoes with this pad, use only socks. I dont recommend bare feet cause it can result in some nasty blisters.

If your looking to mod this pad and make it into an "arcade" pad, go here: http://ucsub.colorado.edu/~geddes/chubbypad/ All in all, I am pleased with this pad because its cheap and gets the job done. If your looking to invest some time (and money) into a pad, go with the red octane pad which runs around 100 bucks. Its a lot better and a lot eaiser on the feet. Dont use shoes with this pad, use only socks. I dont recommend bare feet cause it can result in some nasty blisters.

Fatal Error

This was a great dance pad for about two days. After the second day, the down arrow would not register any button presses during a song. It would work fine every for every other use, except when pressing it in order to clear a song. Also, Naki's phone number provided at their website (nakiusa.com) is out of service.

Yea, I got burned, too.

I picked up this pad and, just like everyone else, the back arrow stopped working after a while. By all means, avoid this one.

Horrible.

This pad is simply horrible. I've only had it for 3 weeks and already the down arrow doesn't register. When I hit the left arrow it thinks I'm pressing B. It often gives boos and almosts when I hit the arrow directly on time. It is a much better idea to buy the Ultramix and dancepad bundle when you get the game then to buy a different pad afterwards.

Inferior product

I bought two of these pads, and they both failed after just a day of use. Some of the buttons just stopped working. I had to return both. My daughters love the game. It's one video game that gets them to exercise, so I'll probably fork out more money for some better pads.

Both of mine are broken.

I've bought 2 of these and both of them are broken. Like several other reviewers, my rear buttons lose connection. Mine work for about 3-5 minutes of play.

Do not buy this pad!!!!

Down arrow key stopped sensing after 1/2 hour of use. Ordered replacement of same through Amazon. (Return process on Amazon was a snap and we had a replacement pad in 2 days. Thanks Amazon!) Second pad worked for 1/2 hour and then down arrow stopped sensing. This time I cracked open the circuit board and was able to verify that the board electronics were working but the pad refused to sense. Clearly Naki has some manufacturing bugs to work out. Went over to Best Buy and picked up two MadKatz controllers last night and they seem great. Can't speak for other pads, but this one is a 0 star.
