Works well, seems sturdy. January 3, 2008
My daughters have given this pad a fair beating, and so far it's stood up to the abuse. I have no complaints about this product or its price; I started using it for Christmas (07), and if it fails anytime soon, I'll come back and update this review.
 Thanks! December 30, 2007
We've only played once so far on our own, but a friend has this mat and it is great...worth paying the extra money for the better pad. DDR is a lot of fun and you get a great workout too!
Great Dance Pad - Excellent Customer Service from Amazon December 23, 2007
Although I have not used any other dance pad (so there isn't anything for me to compare), I've been happy with these dance pads. I bought 2 so that 2 people can play together. The dance pads are great. They are thick enough that you can jump around comfortably while barefooted. We've had lots of fun.
There was a broken zipper on one of the pads - Amazon replaced the pad immediately. Excellent customer service, Amazon.
 Disappointing but adequate August 24, 2007

I ordered 2 of these via Amazon from J&R, they came quickly in factory new condition but one of them was completely DOA. J&R customer service is great and they paid for return shipping and a full refund of the dead one (but they are out of stock so couldn't replace it).
Some of the lowlights of the unit:
- There are NO raised arrows on the ones they are shipping now
- After dancing on it for a while the surface gets wrinkled and if one of the wrinkles intersects the 'A' pad the game (DDR360 universe) appears to randomly select songs
- You have to stop every 10-15 minutes and straighten out the foam pads, the center one (which you stand on most of the time) ends up getting pushed down and disengaging from the other ones. This may be a side effect of using it on a padded carpet rather than a hard floor.
- Looking closely at the unit (since one of them was DOA) its fairly cheaply put together and 'sloppy'. I was hoping for something a little more solid for twice the price of the lower model.
Highlights:
- The size is just right
- The pads are sensitive but not overly so, in several hours of use we have not found that we mean to hit a pad and it doesn't fire; aside from the 'wrinkle' problem above they don't fire unexpectedly
- On padded carpet the whole unit doesn't move around move, its a solid platform and very comfortable
Overall I think we'll learn to deal with the foibles listed above and will end up using this happily enough. I hope the apparent low quality construction is just an illusion and they will take a pounding over time.
Much better game play July 26, 2007

I got DDR Universe for my wife as a gift and have become quite a fan of the game myself. The Beat Pad Pro is definitely much easier to play on than the Konami mat that came bundeled with the game. As long as you aren't wearing shoes, you can feel where the arrows are with your feet, so you don't have to take your eyes off the screen to get yourself realigned with the mat. The foam insert makes jumping much easier on the ankels and knees. The mat does tend to move around during play, but I don't think it's any worse than the bundeled mat. I woudn't know whether the game play more closely resembles that of the arcade game, since I never really seriously played the arcade. However, I do know that I tend to get higher scores on the Beat pad Pro versus the bundeled Konami mat...I can even beat my wife sometimes!
