Because they are more sensitive, and you'd get used to barely tapping the pad compared to some acrade pads where you sometimes even have to stomp to get them to register a step.

Because arcade pads are indented and have triangle brackets causing you to have to use different foot techniques to best hit the arrows. Cobalt fluxes are completely level and have no gaps between the arrows so you can barely move your feet at all to hit notes.

I used a couple of $20 dollar soft pads until they stopped registering. Then, my brother-in-law helped me mod them and they've worked perfectly since.

1. Cut open a side of the soft pad (only if it doesn't work).
2. Pull out the printed circuts so they're flat (only if you did #1).
3. Duct tape the back of the pads to a stiff peice of wood. If you opened up the pads, be sure to duct tape them shut.
4. Do NOT put tiles on the arrows. They will fall apart and make a nice mess every time you play.

Viola. Excellent pads for less than $30 and an hour each.

You can get an arcade kit to raise the corners and center.

bars...i never use them

another reason why i dont use the bar is because im way too short and i can reach the up arrow.

anyway, I have more questions. yay. whoo. yippie. joy.
1. Guitar Hero or In The Groove, I cant decide!
2. Are the Cobalt Flux affordable (under $100)?
3. Should I really download Stepmania even though we have Resonance?

Using the bar is not cheating in my eyes, but if you want to draw a crowd, don't bar rape because it is hilarious and entertaining to watch a random kid playing DDR who is flailing around trying to hit the arrows. Sure, using the bar helps some people, but I think it is more fun without it. Stamina really isn't an issue for me and I have never used the bar in my life so I guess I got used to it. The way I see it, if you can read the steps and you just don't have enough stamina to do it, use the bar. If you can do both and you want to get some attention and a few laughs, don't. I really don't consider either way cheating, just a different playing style.
