It makes it completely useless. The foam inserts are what kills this product. They're not big enough to stretch out the plastic, so it's always wrinkled and bending while you're playing. And the foam doesn't separate into small enough piece for travel like most foam pads do.
The inner circuitry must be moving because in the selection menu for songs, I was only standing dead center on the pad and the column of songs was moving at a rapid pace like I was standing on the left arrow. On carpet, the pad did move a bit when doing doubles. I bought 2 of these on Ebay for the price of 1 on Amazon. I'll definately be looking into a metal pad for myself and use these foam pads for people who want to play me in dual mode. I have now been playing for about a month and am experimenting with the Light mode with 4 or more foot prints for difficulty level. The first few weeks, I played regularly in Beginner mode and the pad worked wonderfully. I got low scores on many songs when I should've gotten higher just because the pad is dying already. I'm tired of the frustration when I'm exercising daily.
Save up your money for a metal pad if you're serious about the game. The pad is frustratingly unresponsive now. I'd start at one angle and end the song in another. When I hit the correct arrow ontime, I get a Boo mark because the pad didn't register it. If you're a casual player that won't be using the pad regularly then this pad is better than the flat ones with no padding.
that's who i bought mine from, and what i recived isn't the dance pad shown above. It's the dance pad with the arrows in the corners instead of the X,O, square and triangle. once again, dont order from him.
All in all, if you can afford it and you play a lot, go for a metal pad.
This is a really good dance pad for the price, but only that.
If you are on a small budget, go for the cheap, thin pads.
The positives are the low price, the foam padding which supports your feet and legs much more than the normal pads, and the anti-slip grip on the bottom of the pad.
It ripped the first time I used it, but that is a simple problem easily remedied by duct tape.
The negatives are that the buttons will eventually die out with hard or frequent use, but all pads do that eventually.
Unlike other pads, this one won't slide on carpet or hard wood flooring.
The other negative is that the covering of the pad rips very easily.
If you want a pad that is amazing for the price range, buy this one.
It was a gift. I can't review it.
