I hear the feet thing isn't bad - keeps it from having extra corners on the pad when you step. But they're also trying to hide the cost with 70 dollar shipping. Don't trust.

Wireless is NOT the way to go for a music game. All music games require a certain aspect of timing, and wireless will give more of a delay than anything else.

That sucks. Can turn a wireless in to a normal w/ no lag??

If you're dead-set on wireless, though, could you not adjust the game timing to account for the lag?

Theoretically, yes, but since the signal is traveling through air (a crappy medium), it may not be at a constant rate. This can be seen in old wireless routers. Your signal can fluctuate randomly. Since you'll be close, it won't be as noticeable, but it's almost impossible sync it as well as a wire.

Whoever just wrote that wireless creates lag please go find yourself the most pathetically basic physics book and learn that both RF and radio waves travel at the speed of light. Air is a pretty good medium for that kinda stuff. The only thing that would create lag with this kinda thing is if you dance your steps, have a friend morse code them to another friend who manually inputs them into the PS2, then you would have lag. Everything has some amount of lag, unless you have a quantum dance mat (you don't btw). Its poopy hardware/screwed up PS2 that creates lag.
