>> Wow, my niece had DDR music playing last night. It got me thinking about how fun it was to play that game and the keyboard equivalent of it.

You should check out Stepmania:

It's a free, multiplatform DDR work-alike that has keyboard song packs as well as pad song packs (you can map keys for the non-keyboard song packs too).

osu! is a mouse-based rhythm game that's pretty big (and can be lots of fun), too.

Osu! looks pretty intense and fun. I wonder how well it works on a touchscreen device like a Surface.

It'd certainly play very well if it works well. Looks like it's based directly on the Ouendan series (Elite Beat Agents) for the Nintendo DS where the games are played with a stylus.

I didn't know about osu! but I love Elite Beat Agents so I will definitely be checking this out!

Most of the hardcore Osu players play with wacom or equivalent tablets. Absolute positioning is a huge advantage.
