Pad Problems

Moldorma · Basic Member Joined: 01 Aug 2007

Hey all! I got addicted to DDR a few months ago (I have Max2, Extreme2, and Supernova), and I used to have two Pelican Dance Mat Pro Series pads, which are the only kind that GameStop sells. After about a month, both of them were wrinkly and unresponsive. >_< So I returned them, and got new ones, unfortunately of the same kind. I put together just one this time, and on the first time using it noticed that only half of the right arrow would register. What is the problem with these pads, and are there any metal pads that don't crack easily (I've been reading reviews and it sounds like a common problem). Thanks!

They are soft mats, so they are generally useless unless you mod them. Return them, hopefully get responsive ones in return, then follow this site's guide to modify them.

Metal pads don't crack easily, just tx-1000's and their 200 clones.

What sort of budget do you have to work with here?

I don't have much now, but I'll be willing to save up money to get whatever. Cobalt Flux looks really really cool. Any opinions on it?

cobalt flux is a cool pad if you dont mind waiting a few months to get it... if you do mind then get a blueshark

I love my BlueShark too, other than the fact that the control box is broken (I stepped on it while wearing shoes). I'm getting a new control box soon though.

That's a good point, no he didn't. He doesn't know crap about ddr or anything. He's one of those kids who just gets a cobalt and supernova cause he can.
