DDR Soft Pad Mod Tutorial: Low cost and easy! 

The thing with arcade dance games is that the more you progress, the more pressure the soft pad needs to withstand. Not only I have to worry about the pad not staying flat and slipping but also the sensors from the pad. I have a "Stay Cool" DDR pad and I have a hard time doing 8th note runs because the down panel doesn't respond well, when I do 16th note runs in the arcades. Anyways, nice tutorial. It's just unfortunate that arcade dancing at home for experienced players is such an expensive affair.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to make the bar to hold on to then my setup will be complete. I'm gonna try to make it out of wood and see how that goes. Thanks for this great idea. It is way better than some other videos I have seen of just taping the mat to a wood board with packing tape.

Thank you so much for this! Much cheaper fix than buying a top of the line pad!

I picked up their "tough" pad off a charity seller on eBay for 10 bucks, and happened to have an old chair mat that i havent used in like 10 years. Pad works perfectly but moves, my biggest take aawy here was that I need to get carpet tape. As soon as im over Covid (like... no longer sick, not "im over this shit" ) im gonna hit up home depot and grab some to make this happen

So happy I found your channel

I'm late to the party, but this is a great mod, thanks for the advice as this was exactly what I was seeking... Thank you!!

would be even better with play foam mat underneath it, so it is fluffy

Hey man I just picked up a chair mat today to do something like this, got some helpful ideas and tips from your video thanks! I was going to put construction glue from a caulk gun because I didn't know about carpet tape. For the video I think it would have been helpful to describe what you were doing because I had no idea what all that string was for and looks like hours of sewing for no reason I could determine, I'm still not too sure. I'll also check out the mixes, thanks for mentioning those!

I don't know how you don't have more comments, you make excellent shows. Dumb question, I don't personally hang out on redit, but do you post there? They have a pretty great gaming zone.

Very clear instructional video!

Hey man, I love your vids. Would it be possible to provide the link where you've purchase your ddr pad. Thank you.

Sweet. Im getting a little better on light mode. The fast songs and jumping inputs can't be done for me. lol

what i do is get this giant white board my mom used for online school and then just put the mat on top and it barely moves when you use it

Great video just subscribed

What were the songs being played in the demo at the end from which games?

Have you look into ltek ddr pad? It does cost around 300 but might be a good upgrade in the future for your set up.

I nailed mine down, how long did it last?

How do you get the mat to not move while playing?

Any mod for using shoes on it

What's the name of the song that you played in the game ?

Can this handle playing on heavy?

In the future, don’t use wish because it’s low quality and a scam.
