I am in the same exact situation as you!
Unfortunately, my RedOctane Ignition 2.0 Pad is starting to go, and I don't intend on buying a 3.0. It's sad to see RedOctane make such a piece of crap when I LOVED the Ignition 2.0.
I really want to buy a new soft pad that is as similar to the Ignition 2.0 as possible, but I have no idea who makes good soft pads anymore.
Anyone know anything about
