Just wondering, how has playing SM with arrow keys (usin the fingers) affected your actual ddr play (with the feet)?

Before I got my EMS adapter (so that now I virtually never play on the keyboard), after playing on the keyboard, I'd notice a slight drop in performance on the pad (it was just temporary though). I'd also notice that I was moving my fingers to the arrows as I was playing on the pad. It was weird.

Helps arrow-reading ability. And due to to the few home mixes I have and the nearby arcade only having Extreme, It's my only chance to play solo mode (once I get my USB adapter, that is).

After being able to beat all official ten-footers on keyboard and then getting an EMS and an Ignition, I have to say that playing on keyboard really helped my gameplay. When I first started with my pad, I was immediately able to do four footers, and within a week of playing ~20 minutes a day I'm now up to seven feet. I've reached a point where reading arrows isn't the problem, it's stamina now :\
