Cobalt Flux is a company that makes metal dance mats for use with home versions of dancing games like Dance Dance Revolution.
Their mats are noted for their very durable construction and high price; among the videos featured on their website (http://www.cobaltflux.com/media_cobalt.php) is one demonstrating a Cobalt Flux mat being run over by several automobiles (including a sport utility vehicle), only to be subsequently plugged into a video game system and used to achieve a very high score ("AA").
Keen arcade players often dislike the flatness of the Cobalt Flux pad, in contrast to the slightly indented panels found on arcade machines. They may find it difficult to know where their feet are in relation to the panels. It is however possible to adjust the height of unused panels by inserting a piece of cardboard or similar.
Recent versions have nine usable foot panels (center, left, right, forward, back, and corners). This is unique for hard pads, and makes them compatible with both DDR style games using four side arrows, and Pump It Up simulators using five (corners plus center). However the corner square panels are smaller than their rectangular equivalents in Pump It Up.
Cobalt Flux is based in in the greater Salt Lake City, Utah area of the United States.
