Soft Darts Board DARTSLIVE-200S

This board is worth it. Great for practice and can really give you that extra pop to your in-home setup.Pros:Setup-> They give you a sheet to hang up that makes it super easy to drill your 4 screws. Just need tape measure to have CM. The usb connection requires minimal current, so can easily be powered by any usb plug you have around the house, including a tv's usb port. Connecting is very simple, and you don't have to sync every time you turn it on(confirm for iOS devices).App-> Simple tutorial has you create your card, which is great because the app keeps track of your stats. If you are a dedicated player or looking to get into the league scene, this is the board/app for you. Practice has cricket count up to have you practice cricket numbers, and eagle eye to practice shooting the bull for '01 games. I currently am using an apple tv and mirror my iPad to my display. There is rarely lag, and it only happens if at all on the first dart(which is about 1/2 second). I have experienced only 1 time where the dart I throw doesn't match what the app says i hit. I simply powered off the board, forgot the device on my bluetooth settings, and reconnected like it was the first time. Issue went away and hasn't repeated.Board-> I can't emphasize enough how much quieter this board is compared to other boards. I have this placed side by side with my old Viper board, and it is a night n day difference in sound. I went to local fabric store and purchased a small roll up sheet of cork. I placed a square piece behind the board for extra dampening. Have no worries of waking the wife playing at 2am in the basement. Every dart I throw sticks and haven't had any bounce outs yet.Feedback to Dartslive:Board->The LED lights on the side are pretty much pointless. They are not powerful enough to eliminate shadows. I've seen several youtube videos where owners have replaced them or added additional lighting. I myself have a track-light mounted to my ceiling, so not a major concern for me.App->You have the appearance of a dead pixel in the top left when mirroring from iPad to apple tv. I can't confirm if this is device specific, or for any device used. A future update would be nice to have actual support for apple tv, to where when a game is played the display is sent to the appleTv and a different display/controls on iPad/iPhone. Both iPad and iPhone mirroring/av connection only uses 80% of the display. I would imagine also that online play between two boards will simply be an app/server update, as I couldn't see a need to roll out an entire new board. Also a setting would be nice where '01 games can show your score on a PPD score vs. the standard PPR.Will update review with pictures soon.

I’ve been getting into soft tip darts and knew I wanted one that I could play other people with from my home. One particular board I almost bought for twice the price, you know the one.Many people complain about the terrible quality.Enter Dartslive 200s. Now with online play.Built like a tank, I love this thing!Wall mounting template and hardware included.It also came with two sets of darts, so it’s really a complete package if you’re looking to gift this to a new dart player.It seems that this board is popular in Asia, all my opponents the first night were dart fans from Japan, and I loved it. International play at your fingertips!Note that after your 30 day trial, it costs $2.99 a month. Also, you have 30 seconds total for your turn, after the first dart is thrown, you have five seconds to throw your second dart, then another five seconds to throw your third dart. If you are a turtle player you probably won’t enjoy this.All in all, I’d buy this board again without hesitation if I were to go back in time.Note that for some odd reason, you won’t be able to text (iPhone) with the board on, it literally won’t bring up the keyboard. Also, if you want to try out the 200s app, you have to recalibrate everything, I hope these issues are fixed soon, but I just noticed that there is a new version of this board (Home) so maybe not.

I didn't need the online play feature of other boards so quality of the board itself was what I was looking for. I haven't had it for very long but so far I really like the quality of the board and minimal bounce outs. It doesn't have a wide variety of games but again, that's not what I was looking for to fill my needs. A lot of times, I just throw darts at the board while it's not even powered on. The games provided are just fine with me. The darts that came with it seemed to work better then I expected except that the provided tips do not fit very well and when I tried to remove the dart, the tip stayed in the board and separated right at the threads. I put some Viper Tufflex III's on them and didn't have that problem anymore (Update: same problem with the Viper tips) :(. Most will probably use other darts with this board anyway so I'm not knocking it for that. It is hard to remove the darts when the tips are new (Tufflex). As soon as they wear in a little, they work perfectly.As far as noise is concerned, it's not bad at all. I might do a mod on it to reduce the sound using some Dynamat on the interior of the board. I have some left over from a speaker install and it should work great to reduce the noise even further but to be honest, it's not that big an issue to me. Right now I have it mounted on a thin piece of particle board with a black poster board foam material that is working plenty good enough for me sound wise.

This is a great board, way better than the Arachnid board I bought on Amazon earlier. The darts actually stick on this board. I built a standup cabinet to house it and it’s just like playing at the bar. To quiet the board, not that it really needed it I put 1/4 closed cell foam packing material on the inside after removing the maybe six screws on back, it’s really quiet now. I used an old iPad that was out of update and still was able to download the app. Don’t be like me, buy this board first! One thing, the light on the side are useless, I bought some LED lights on Amazon and put them around the board, works great!

I liked the durability of the board, but there is limited games on here. No way of updating the software? Wth. That's where the disappointment begins. Oh well. Looks like this board might be getting returned. The board is alot quieter then other boards. That's another good thing. But then the final bad thing about the game options or lack of game options, you can't change how many rounds per game is. It's not like we are professionals. We need more rounds and different selection of games.
