What Dance Pad do you have or recommend?

Pages: << < (4/5) > >>

Zathras:

Another vote for building your own metal pads.  I finally got around to installing DWI on my cab this weekend and hooked up the pads with a ps2 to USB adapter and it was like a whole new experience with the cab.  



GGKoul:

Zathras, do you have any pics of the dance pad you made?  How much did it cost you?  

As I found a BYODP link on this site and the guy said it cost him @ $120 for him to create his own.  And that's how much is cost for me to get one of via ebay.  So I would save on the shipping charges.

Thanks!

Zathras:

I PMed you GGKoul but just to share the info:

They were about $100 each if memory serves me correctly but they are tanks that will hold up to anything - I've used them for a couple of years now and haven't had a bit of a problem.  They have been stomped on by all shapes and sizes.

For more info and ideas there is a thread on DDRFreak about BYODDRP

The main page I used when building mine is:

I have some old "in progress" pics of mine up at:

They are pretty close to what they are now but I replaced the pegboard bottom w/ MDF for some extra rigidity.  The overhang was going to be for a backplate but after using them for a while I decided it wasn't really necessary so I dropped that idea when I switched to MDF


I'll try to take some updated pics with them hooked up to the cab.

if you wanna make a home built one.. I have a pretty simple one to build. 1.5" thick full size metal pad (no lights, ... yet).

Wirehed:

I'm thinking of building my own pad, specifically for use with Stepmania. What PS2 to USB adapter works well with Stepmania?
