People who have pads from DDRgame.com...

Which pad works better, this one or this one? I may plan to get one in the "future".

I honestly wouldn't recommend either, i bought a metal iOn pad from DDR Game around...February this year. Right now, the down arrow decides when it wants to work or not. I bought two other pads(small metal ones with the acryllic arrows) and they're both broken now too.

If you must have one of those two, I'd suggest the energy pad.

i wouldn't get either because the arrows are both are attached with one screw so they crack easier so there bad. try to find one where all buttons have four screws

if you can afford it i would go for an afterburner from redoctane it is a very good pad

No, if you can afford it, go for the Cobalt Flux. It is much better than the RO Afterburner. It's price point is $300, with about $30-40 shipping. I have had mine for about 10 months and I have had absolutly no problems with it. I have heard many, many bad things about the Afterburner, but since I don't have one, I can't say anything for sure. All I know is that the CF is a phenominal pad, and it is well worth the money.

That "ENERGY" pad looks badass. But I'd agree with the others in saying that one screw per panel is a bad idea. If you're willing to spend that much, it'd be best to get an Afterburner instead.

I'm bothered by the fact that they don't show any pictures of the actual product they're selling (those 3D photoshop renders do not count). That honestly worries me a whole ton.

Seconded on that one. As mentioned CFs are a very good solution. Another good solution when they are in stock are the My My Box Blueshark Metal Platform as they feel just like a brand new arcade machine.

I know CobaltFlux is the best way to go and everything but the thing is that I wanted something with a bar AND bar support and those are the only two pads on that site that have that. And CF or Afterburner do not have a bar so that will be tough once I get good enough for harder 10s. And nothing in my room i can use as a bar that is the right height.

MdX MaxX · 10-08-2006, 03:40 PM

Okay so on mymybox here there is a blueshark with a bar is the bar any good?

EDIT: Oh wait its out of stock. But anyway I am not planning for one anytime this school year so it might turn up.

EDIT2: I guess I'll just look into the blueshark thread for info. This thrwad is pointless If i decide on a blueshark.
