Because it uses the older type capacitive sensors and not the pressure sensors that Kyle Ward stole off Brittany's pads that ended up being Rhythm Horizon. It's kinda the industry staple these days as you can adjust the sensitivity to your play style in software without having to touch the hardware. I'm a pretty high level player (passes in 15 blocks and 3 stars in 12), although I'd be content with any pad that I can just play for fun on that doesn't require modding or constant fixing. Like the blueshark, the sensitivity in Ltek pads have to be adjusted by adding material between the panels and the sensors and they're pretty prone to either breaking or just losing their sensitivity, so they require basically weekly tune ups and they're never really perfect. Ive been looking for a pad with a bar and pressure sensors for about 1k USD. I'd buy the Stepmania X pads if the shipping costs weren't absolutely bonkers.
