DDR Game's "tournament metal dance pad" mapping issues

I recently saved my pennies and bought myself [THIS MAT] and it's having trouble being mapped. I have it plugged in before I launch Stepmania and I can only map a few buttons. Usually I can map "Joy1 right1" and the down and up equivalents, but not always. I haven't been able to successfully map the up-right arrow to enter. If it helps at all, it seems to be listed as Motioninjoy Virtual Game Controller (joy1). I really need your help... Thanks in advance.

And yes, I googled the issue beforehand.

EDIT: I pulled this from the Ebay store page:
Dance Dance Revolution DDR Metal PS / PS2 /PS3 and PC Dance Pad V 3.0 (Note: It will not work for Windows Vista 64bit, Windows 7 64 bit , Windows 8 and MAC)
I am running 64 bit Windows 7. This is extremely stupid and I am now all levels of pissed since oh I dunno you can't run it on ANY MODERN COMPUTER. I spent around 200 bucks out of money I scraped together, I don't even have a job as I am a senior in high school.

Can you send it back? Maybe you can dual-boot your HD to run Win XP with a partition. Not a single person I know ever recommends the DDR Game pads.

OH you can also just make your own control box that will work on Win 7 64Bit. Or you can try a PS2 to USB adapter although most of them won't work. The sad thing is even if you got the pad to work fine those pads aren't expected to last very long :(

Make my own control box? How would I go about doing that?

Also, tha cheapest recommended mat that I can find is the Omega mats from Precision Dance Mats. Returning it would be killing on my pocket as well.

Um, hello those are the pads I designed and we build. Sometimes we have refurbs that sell for less or cosmetically flawed pads, you can inquire via e-mail but currently we have none. We can't compete with DDR Game dance pads, if you want cheapest you already have it.

As for your own control box, you will first need a USB soft pad that works with Win 7 (if you're lucky you can find a used 3rd party PS3 or X360 dance pad for cheap but you need to make sure it works completely (no axis problems; actually even if there are axis problems you can probably find enough inputs for the soft pad that you can just wire it up to other terminals and be just fine in StepMania) before you use it. Then you'll have to open the control box from the pad you have, connect the ground wire to the ground terminal in the soft pad circuit board, then the rest of the wires to the rest of the terminals in the soft pad. You'll have to use a soldering iron and possibly a small wire-stripper. There's a thread a few lines down where I'm advising someone how to build his own control box for his old Blue Shark pad that has alot of good information in it.

Heads up, we've got some cosmetically flawed brand new dance pads being built that have wrinkles in the image. They will be sold on e-bay possibly next week, will start the bids about $100 less than normal price simply because we don't feel these pads represent the visual quality that customers expect from us and we personally don't need any more dance pads (I'd be perfectly happy with any of them). My wife runs the business and her ebay profile is HouseOfCake.

Hey, sorry didn't realize your picture was that... feeling pretty stupid now. Also, by returning "it" I mean my junky ebay pad, not the precision mats. Thanks for the heads up by the way, I appreciate it. I want to get one of your mats, just need to get the money for it.
