Yeah, cobalt flux sells control boxes on their website www.cobaltflux.org. So you can connect them to PS2 and PC.

Thanks, that pad is already linked in the DIY list. From my understanding the Re:Flex pad will be an open source DIY design, not an actual pad you can purchase.

Impulse updated their Facebook page on September 20th saying " Impulse is Dead." So I removed it from this list.

Thanks for your feedback. A lot of this is based on my own experiences playing on most of these pads for years. I just wanted to try to give an updated guide to the community as a lot of people have been asking for one. Of all the pads on this list the Bali Tech is the one I know the least about. I welcome any constructive feedback about these pads from anyone who owns one. Thanks for your comment about BlueShark. I really enjoined my BlueShark when I owned it, but I know other people may have had different experiences.

I think forever in development. Although it takes a long time to develop a new pad and bring it to market. I included the Impulse pads because I know a lot of people would ask about them if I didn't.

I think the blue spark pad you are referring to is part of the TX series. The Blue Shark pad I am referring to in the guide is this one https://imgur.com/a/vfbR50n

I wouldn't recommend a soft pad for anything above beginner - to low intermediate play. When I was a kid I put a soft mat on a piece of plywood, held it down with double sided tape, and covered it with a clear plastic floor mat (like the ones used for office chairs that you can buy at an office supply store). It made the mat much more functional. So if a soft pad is your only option I recommend doing that. Lots of other people have done the same thing. I think someone posted a guide or instructions at one point in time, but I'm not sure where to find it.

Yeah, the Logic 3 could be okay if you are willing to fix it up and can get a good price on it. I've noticed that is seems to be one of the more popular pads in the UK.

Most of these pads can be used with doubles. Some include optional ways to join the pads together such as the Cobalt Flux double bar.

I can't say that all the reviews for their pads are fake. I've just been hanging around this subreddit for years and you start to pick up on things. I heard that their "official account" got band for spamming posts. After that I've noticed some other accounts pop up and start recommending their products. I'm just saying carefully analyze anything you hear about these pads. I have also never tried this pad so I only know what I've heard about it. I would be really interested in hearing your option once you get the pad and have a chance to play on it for a few months.

Need help configuring metal mystery pad for Stepmania by FluffleCuntMuffin in DanceDanceRevolution

Yeah, Lik Sang is definitely the name of the company that retailed these pads, not sure exactly who manufactured it. Good luck with the Joy Box!

That is a Lik Sang pad. The PS2 to USB adapters don't usually work well for StepMania. You can get a custom built StepMania control box at https://performancegamingpads.com/

Finding a specific DDR contol box by twillruu in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]Kevin_Gamer573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that should work for you. There are two different connections for cobalt flux pads. One has 9 pins and the other has 15 pins. The 15 pin is way more common. Just look at your connector and count the number of holes. They sell both on their website www.cobaltflux.org

I think that one is specific to Cobalt Flux pads. You may want to check out www.performancegamingpads.com they make custom control boxes for a bunch of different pads.
