DDR Metal Pad Builders

"Well after a lot of hard work, i finally finished my Metal DDR pad. I couldn't be any
happier. The thing works perfectly."
- Nashoc3

"SUCCESS!!!!! I've completed my pad! It works perfectly, very sensitive arrows."
- Canadazn

"I must say, it works amazingly good. I've had no problem passing 8 and 9 foot songs with
it. (I'm just getting to the point where I CAN pass 9 foot songs, and the pad is not being
a hinderance at all)."

"It's works excellent and it only cost about $100 - $130 in materials. The only problem
with it is that it took 3 days to build it myself (but if I made a second one I could do it
in under 2 days). It was well worth the effort"

"I HIGHLY recommend this design. When you step, it presses two pieces of sheet metal
together, which completes the circuit and registers the button press. This is very quiet
(no clicky noise whatsoever!) and very responsive."
- Kurishi

"Well, I built mine. The darn thing just seemed such a simple great idea, I couldn't
resist. It took me about 6 evenings, 2 or three hours each. It came out looking good,
and works great!"

"I love my new pad. It sure isn't much different from the arcade at all! I recommend
that anyone thinking about it, build one!"
- Newspaper

"For anyone who is wondering, my pad works great! I can beat a lot of the maniacs like Hot
Limit and No Limit and Japan with no problem. Every button registers everytime it gets
hit! It really makes it like playing at the arcade because there is no problem with the
buttons not registering sometimes like you get with other home pads. This pad is far superior
to any other pad that you could buy. It's just like playing at the arcade!"

"Slides come off perfectly for me on the DDRHomePad because one tap on the arrow will
register a step"
- S2Don

"This Pad is AWESOME!!!!! It feels 100000% exactly like the arcade!! Plus the buttons
respond every single time!! Needless to say I didn't get much sleep last night as I was
up playing until 4am."

"This past Sun. we had a Wrestlemania party and I had 5 of my friends over, needless to
say we played quite a bit of DDR and my pad responded perfectly to every step of every
game! Also it held up just fine under all the stomping of my friends who had never played before!!"
- Majikman

" I built one about two weeks ago and it's working perfectly! I like the first one so much
that I'm building another one."
- JonJ

"My pad works GREAT!! Now all I need to do is get a video of me using it to full combo
something on Maniac"
- Jmdcool

"I can only speak for the precision of my pad which is excellent as I can full combo
nearly all catastrophics in 3rd 4th extra and 5th mixes"
- Cedarpointddrman

"If I did not know making a home-made one was possible, I would not even bother playing
DDR 2nd, 3rd, and 4th mix anymore. Now I am able to get A's if not B's on most of
the songs and I am in love with DDR all over again."
- Aaru

"Anyway, this pad works totally great. I´ve played DDR more regular than ever before
since I finished it. It is so much more fun on a platform and with sensors registering
nearly 100% of my steps! I´m pretty sure I´ll build a second one in the near future"
- Grimmi Meloni

"Hey I just want to thank ddrhomepad for his site and instructions on building the pad. I
just finished building one and it works great."
- D1L7O

"I have my first PAD completed and it works perfect I even had some friends over who
are over 250 and no problems with anything breaking."
- Aaronboycrash

"Thanks a lot for the instructions, the pad works great and we'll probably be making
a second in a couple weeks."
- FFSoftPres

"I have just completed my pad. It works great, and I love it!"
- MegaManRevolutionX6

"My pad is now functional, I can pass drop out maniac at home now!"
- Supa Star

"I finished my pad about a week ago and it works perfectly. I would like to thank
ddrhomepad for putting up the instructions on how to build this or else I would
still be using a softpad."
- ODDrJOB

"DDRhomepad, your design on how to make it works great. Now I can slide and pass
songs without worry that I have to buy another Naki soft pad because I just realized
those pads suck. This is cool, my second week playing DDR and I already got the
arcade experience in my own house Thank you DDRhomepad."
- Hunter Max2

"I just finished my 6arrow panel, and it works great, so I thought I'd mention it,
and toss up a few pics as a possible way to do it! Thanks to DDRHP!"
- Molesquirrel

"I just finished a pad myself, and I think it works great! Thanks a lot DDRHomePad!
I practically memorized your directions and I'm so glad I went through with the project.
My DDR fanatic girlfriend is really gonna love it when I give it to her, its a present."
- Mojojojo

"It's finally done! My pad is done and it works PERFECTLY!
- Cromas

"I just finished my pad per ddrhomepad's instructions and it's great!
Works perfectly and looks so sweet! Thanks ddrhomepad!
- NHughMane

"Good luck to everyone who is about to embark on this AWESOME project,
and to DDRHP, THANKS!!! My pad works like a dream!"
- PaReDFIA

"It rocks to be able to play the songs I don't know OVER and OVER
and not worry about wasting any money!!!!"
