Ignition 3 sucks?

[UnseenDeath]

does it? cause i just read a thread with a few people saying it does. why does it suck? i mean i play it and its ok sure it moves around a bit but i got carpet. i went to AX this year and saw it for like 60 bucks and really where i live theres the crappiest of pads...so i thought might as well since i really want a pad to avoid having to pay 1 buck at my arcade to practice.

But after reading some peoples posts im thnking omfg...dude did i just waste 60 bucks on a shitty pad? i could have sworn redoctane was like best pad makers

I won a new Ignition 3.0 at a tourney, and it lasted about 3 plays before the up arrow stopped registering. After fiddling with it a while, I got it to working condition, but it failed shortly after again. I wasn't impressed myself.

Mine worked for a couple months perfectly and after that it still works pretty good but with some faults.

it's made in china. what did you expect? =) yes, i'm chinese.


the manufacturer (Topway) probably used cheap foam for the buttons that compresses/rips too easily. someone swapped that foam with some from a konami pad and it works flawlessly.

hey hey you cant blame me im new at this pad stuff i mean ive played ddr at the arcades by buying a pad hell this was my 1st and my last

Was the original Ignition 2.0 US made? I was wondering why this was lasting longer than my last Ignition 3.0.

[TheFlyingSquirrel]

No. The Ignition 1.0, sadly, was the best.

Ignition pads are great, but they don't last long.

Redoctane isn't very good at all. But I did hear that 2.0s were better than 3.0s.
I almost got an Afterburner, so glad I didn't.

60 bucks isn't very much. Prices reflect on the pad.

Then again, my Madcatz foam pad is still in next-to-prefect condition, despite the down arrow ripped but still functioning well, and it was the same price. Well, it was 60 Canadian which is I dunno how much American.

Hey, I love my Ignition 2.0 pad! I don't know about the 3.0, but my 2.0 has been working great the past year. Unfortunately, I think the down arrow is starting to go though.

I got a BNS-DX and it works great(actually I prefer it over a cobalt oddly enough) but its the same as an Ignition but half the price.

So do you people who prefer $50 foam pads to CFs have something against playing in shoes or do you just say that because you don't actually own a CF?

dude why does it seem like your getting aggresive. man i buy foam pads cause there is literally no space to hold a non-compactable metal pad. and besides that freaking 200 bucks for a pad parents will never swing for that
