RedOctane Ignition Dance PadYou hop on the RedOctane Ignition Pad. You immediately notice that the buttons feel different from the rest of the pad…just like the metal arcade pad. That's because there's an all new, dense cushion insert that gives you the perfect balance between fast reaction times and comfort. And when you get on the DDR arcade machine, your steps are spaced perfectly right…just like you practiced at home. You'll find this only with the new, improved, RedOctane Ignition Pad.


Features:

  • The RedOctane Ignition Pad features an all new dense foam insert that will keep up with your fastest moves. This dense cushion insert gives you the perfect balance between fast reaction times and comfort, so you can play longer and get higher scores. Longer playing times also means more aerobic exercise.

  • If you're an arcade DDR player, do you get lower scores on soft pads? It's likely because soft pads have smaller circuitry. Almost all soft pad versions are based on Konami's home pad design, which have smaller circuits than the arcade pads and do not cover the semi-circle portion of the button closest to the center of the pad. We learned about this design flaw from high-level DDR experts like Azn Innovation.

  • The RedOctane Ignition Pad buttons and sensors are arcade sized, bridging the difference so that you can achieve consistency in your game whether you're playing at the arcade or at home with soft pads. If you're playing for max combos or trying to do perfect attack, you'll need the RedOctane Ignition Pad.

  • Anyone who has spent much time playing DDR in the arcade knows that to be a great DDR player, you must "feel" the buttons and know your position on the pad at all times. Can you successfully stay on center playing Afronova expert levels when you have to jump and twist 4 or 5 times in a row? That will cost you valuable points. And you can forget about scoring high on doubles maniac songs if you can't feel your way around the pad.

  • The RedOctane Ignition Pad has durable inserts underneath each button so that you can feel the difference between the button and the other parts of the pad. With the Ignition Pad, you'll feel if you're off center so you can make the necessary corrections without taking your eyes off the screen.
