Pad detected as keyboard / not as LTEK Pad

Pad detected as keyboard instead of dance pad

1. Why is my mat not detected in StepMania? As a controller in the system?

If your mat displays LEDs on its casing after connecting it to your computer, your mat may be set to a profile that is not detectable by the Stepmania game.

When the mat is connected and displays the “orange 1” profile ( center LED is brighter than the rest), it means that the mat is set to keyboard mode (which may not be detectable as a controller, which is why it does not appear in Stepmania). For the game to automatically detect and map the mat as an LTEK controller, follow this guide.
