Well, I’ve heard a lot of accolades of the Blue Shark dance pads, however there seems to be a consistent number of them that are D.O.A. or have some sort of issue, and that, shocker, their customer service rivals that of Cobalt Flux.

So, CF is out the window, I wouldn’t give them a glass of water if they were in the fires of hell. Blue Shark is not an option because I’m not going to pay $400 and risk getting a dead dance pad.

So, what options does this leave?

Home brew.

And this is the route I am taking. I can’t cut straight with a saw, so I had someone else cut all the pieces as well as some other stuff. So far I have the down arrow sensor finished. In all honesty, it’ll be a miracle if this thing works. I totally suck at things like soldering and such. Still, it will be worth it if it does, and I have all the technical support and customer service I could possibly want for my product looking back at me from the mirror.

It’s almost like star wars or something where the Jedi have to build their own light-sabres. I guess you aren’t a true dance-master until you build your own pad. I’m just getting that out of the way early on.
