Cheap DDR pad from Kraft

I also got one of these pads from Kraft.  Was very surprised how fast it came in.  About 2 weeks, maybe a couple days less than that.  It seemed to register multiple inputs at the same time.  Playing the free games from Kraft, there were multiple times it called for both up and down, or both left and right.  It registered the move no problem.  On the boat game, it also would not register the combo move without actually stepping on both positions.  Not sure about the angle thing though, where someone said down and left would produce an angle move.  Overall, it was very cool, and my kids and their freinds loved it.  When I unplugged it from my laptop though, there was a LARGE static discharge from the USB connector to my hand.  Not sure if this will cause a problem to the PC or not.  I suspect not, as the USB connector does carry a ground, so the static might have just been from picking up the pad and folding it.

Just tested it out, and yeah, in the software, they DID do two combinations of UP+DOWN or LEFT+RIGHT... I wonder why it works in their software and not in Stepmania.

Since this device is seen in windows as a joystick, has anyone tried it in combination with the JoyToKey program and successfully mapped the controls to keyboard actions?

I ordered one, but I haven't received it yet.

Never heard of JoyToKey, so I'll try it right now.  Thanks!

It remaps the inputs, but the remapped inputs suffer the same problem... whatever I remap UP and DOWN to can't be pressed at the same time.
