What DDR pads are those? Are they custom made?

They are L-TEK Ex Pro X. Shipped all the way from Poland!

They seem to work pretty well. Have been using them frequently for more than a year with no issues yet.

  • What do you use for the other controls? Start, select, exit, confirm... I have an older L-Tek and I really wish I had one with all nine step buttons (for other dance games) plus control button on top. Also kudos for not using a cheater bar :D. I don't see the old-school no-bar playing much anymore but I find it much more impressive.

    • I have a wireless keyboard nearby that I used to select songs.

      Yeah I have never used the bar. Probably because I learned to play at home, starting on a basic foam pad, and so obviously didn't have the bar available.

  • Is Stepmania still the go-to DDR clone? This is very nostalgic. :)

    • To be honest I've been using the same Stepmania 3 installation for decades. Never updated to Stepmania 5 because the step chart format changed and I didn't want to find all the songs again. I have not kept up on recent developments.

  • Thanks, those were the main recommendation the last time I looked into it (a few years ago), good to hear you recommend them too!
