Strange multi platform softpad issue.

Hi all, forum n00b here, 1st post

I searched for this problem and didnt find anything, and plus my problem manifests itself on DDR HP for the wii. I guess the game is so new issues have not cropped up (yet)

I have the RO softpad for ps2/xbox/PC and it performs flawlessly for me. No lag, no sticking.
I bought a React professional softpad for ps2/xbox/gamecube as the RO one doesnt do gamecube, and I read that the RO adapter causes lag, and wacks out all the buttons.

When I plug into the wii, it seems as if the up/down arrows are stuck. If I unplug it and select all my options and plug it back in before the songs starts, it operates fine, no sticking, no lag.
I tried taking the foam out, I tried smoothing it, nothing helps.
Now to test if it was the pad I plugged it into the ps2. The above problem doesnt happen on the ps2, but the lag is horrible. The RO pad has no such issue on the PS2.

sadly I gave away the bundled pad to a co worker, thinking I would not need it.

But I am thinking it's the pad thats the problem, not my system.

I know from what I have read that I should just get a hardpad.

Bul alas, I live in apartment with no place to store it when not in use, they are pretty expensive, and I am not a DDR master or anything (more a plays for fun and excersize type player)

What are your opinions? I'd like to know what you think of this pad overall, is there a better option available? Or is the adapter as bad as I have read?
I would like to enjoy this game ASAP.

Thanks all in advance for any help!

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

I exchanged the pad for another, also a React(thats the only brand best buy carries that is gamecube compatible, and I wanted my employee discount), and it does the same thing. I also read a new review on bestbuy.com that another person experienced the same issue with this brand of dance pad.

So, React brand will not work with the Wii.
