Mine had the same issue, till I found online a "secret code" that alters the dance pad's logic.
Check the page here

Most pads have a code (something like hold down select for 5 seconds, then up down up, or some such) that will put the pad into a mode where multiple simultaneous presses will register.

Thanks! I'm going to try that for sure...I don't have much hope for it though as the PS3 pad doesn't have an adaptor, it's just USB out.
I post here later if it does work. The PS3 pad is only $40 at gamestop with the ps3 game too. For a flat pad it's pretty darn good.

There was a couple of comments about using XBCD or XPadder to compensate for the axis problems too. Might also be something to look into.

Tried everything last night...came to the realization (and the stepmania forums confirmed this) that no one knew how to make the PS3 pads work with a PC. I wish I had gotten an xbox 360 one :banghead: you can make those work with the programs you listed.

Here's what I picked up. Sucks about the PS3 pads.

These work ok, once you enter the code.
But I think those hard mats (like the cobalt flux) would work better.
