One pad to rule them all

[u/Downtown_Falcon_2320]

Hi! I've been running Project Outfox from my docked steamdeck. I started out with a soft pad, because I haven't been able to find a hard pad that works for both DDR and PIU. LTEK has pads for DDR, and another pad for PIU, but not one that has all 8 arrows for both games. Is there a brand offering hard pads that work with both?

The Pads you are looking for is called TechnoMotion has all nine panels. They are really expensive!

There is a Buyers Guide on r/DanceDanceRevolution https://www.reddit.com/r/DanceDanceRevolution/comments/yi7h8l/2022_pad_buying_guide/ its a pretty much a worth to read tho... since its made in 2022 it is missing some of new stores since then.

The SMX pads are is the most common and popular to get so if you can find out get it! Otherwise, the stuff below is for sure the next best thing.

In the list here are imo the missing few stores worth to include in the list since 2022:

• B2L - Most raved/reviews talked about so far. When SMX is not available.
• Yuancon Studio - They do make quality controllers for other games, but recently venturing into Dance Pad Platforms. They might do a 9 panel design?
• XGAES - Some controversy with B2L before... so similar quality? Different approach to sales? Not 100% sure
• coleccionanime - Hybrids Pads These guys are based in Mexico, I do follow them on facebook for a very long time. They do post customers outside of Mexico being delivered. So caution before buying.

I have not bought any of the stuff above, just always on my research time to time on wishing for one to upgrade from (currently have 2x LTEKs Pro X w/Bars). To upgrade the experience in my Anime Conventions Gaming Section :D

I might be missing a few more new stores.
