If you are considering buying a dance mat to play Dance Dance Revolution, In the Groove, Stepmania, or your favorite simulator, this is the guide for you. Each mat is different, but the common theme is that you have to pay more for better quality. With that being said, you don’t really need an “expensive mat” when you first start playing. I will list examples: BEGINNER to INTERMEDIATE Style: “Grooved” mat Purpose: You can feel where the arrows are with your feet, which will help you learn faster Cost: $50 Best for: Beginner to Intermediate players Requirements: Connector cable [PS3, PC, etc.] Notes: When you first start out playing at home, you don’t want to spend a lot of money. So, the best thing to do is to find a good inexpensive mat to train on. Once you improve or decide you want to play at a higher difficulty (7+), I would recommend an upgrade. —————————————————————————- Style: “No slip” mat Purpose: Keeps mat from moving around during play Cost: $40 Best for: Beginner to Intermediate players Requirements: Connector cable [PS3, PC, etc.] Notes: Same as above. ————————————————————————- INTERMEDIATE to ADVANCED Style: Metal dance mat Purpose: Higher quality pad that is durable and simulates feel of arcade play and responsiveness. Cost: $170 Best for: Intermediate to Advanced players Requirements: Compatible with PC only. Features: * Smooth Edges and 4 screws design * Heavy Duty, can handle player weight 500 lbs+ * Control Box and Wii Dance Pad Adapter * Hammer-proof thick polycarbonate arrow buttons (double the thickness of other metal pads in the market) * Advanced wiring for super sensitivity - no more delay * 0% noise level, no noise when jumping on arrows * This metal platform will work on carpet or hard floor * The entire metal platform frame is metal, Weighs about 30 lbs * EVA foam base (non-slip bottom) so that the pad won’t slip around * No assembly required * Power is drawn directly from PC.
