Product Description
The Platform Edition Ignition Pad To be great at DDR you need to feel the buttons and your position on them at all times. That's really hard when you're on Afronova level, jumping&twisting 4 or 5 times in a row. Ignition Pad's raised, arcade-sized sensors help you max out your combos and do perfect attacks. The raised, reinforced buttons ensure you always stay in position, while the dense foam core provides comfort&enhanced feedback.

 Perfect Pad September 10, 2008
Perfect pad, I had it for 3 years beats the v2. Its just amazing. Works perfectly with stepmania.
 Good, but Surprisingly Fragile May 21, 2008
This pad has served me pretty well for the last eight months or so, but it's reached the end of its usefulness. I bought my pad at the end of the summer of 2007 and brought it with me for two college semesters in Montreal. I put it together for the first time upon arriving. Immediately, the "X" button refused to work properly, but this wasn't a big problem. After the first few weeks, one of the zippers holding the pad around its foam insert snapped off for unknown reasons. A few days later, the second zipper bent a bit, but managed to stay intact. The pad itself continued to function without any real issues as I used it for an hour at an average of every two or three days.
Towards the end of the second semester, I began to notice issues with the down directional arrow. I unzipped the one working zipper and took the pad home a few weeks later, at which point everything began to go rapidly downhill. Upon reassembling the foam pad at home, the second zipper broke off of the cover (on what was only its fourth use). At the same time, the zipper itself began to rip apart. The issue with the down arrow quickly worsened, and I soon found that the real issue was with the left arrow, which was simultaneously activating the left and down directions. Like some of the other reviewers, I took a look inside and found that the material beneath the left arrow had torn, but other than that, there was no clear indication that there was any problem that could be fixed. The pad is now basically unusable.
While the pad itself worked quite well for nearly eight months, the fact that it showed so many other issues early on disappoints me. I was lucky with my pad, but any of those early issues could easily have been a faulty arrow instead. Although it performed a bit more effectively than the flat pads I had been using, it wasn't really worth the price I paid. Be sure to get a lengthy warranty if you want to buy one of these pads because, in all honesty, a pad like this should be able to last for at least a year. I'm not sure if any of them actually can.

For all the problems that others are experiencing, you got a bad pad. I love these pads so much I bought three over the last few years and they all still work. Bottom line is, you will not find a better way to play DDR than this dance pad. I am truly sorry that you all were negatively effected by faulty equipment.
If you want to play DDR, do so on a RedOctane Ignition.

I thought I would be the only one whose RedOctane pad effed up but I guess not. My left button hardly ever responds after only a couple days of play; noticed the problem on the FIRST day I got it.
The foam platform and raised steps idea is exactly what DDRers need, but this doesn't function correctly at all. They almost got the right idea but really messed up. Don't get it.

I'm sorry to see so many other reviewers have had trouble with this game pad, since mine has always worked perfectly. We've had ours for 6 or 8 months now, and I use it almost every day and have never had an issue with it. Of course, I don't wear shoes when playing, so maybe that has something to do with it... Anyway, we've tried other higher-end pads, and this one is far superior. The buttons are super sensitive, so you don't have to stomp to get them to register, and the firm padding is wonderful for bare feet. I'm actually in the process of buying another one, since my husband and I always fight over who gets to play on the "good" pad!
