FINAL...ATOMIC...hmmph...BUSTTTTAAAAAA!
As an aside, one of these days I'm gonna bring my homemade metal pad to Tilt and plug it into Tekken 5. And probably do better than I usually do.
But seriously, DDRGerbil, a DDR pad is just a PSX (or XBox) controller - it's no different from a Dual Shock, Pop'N controller, or $5 GameSpot special. Likewise, DDR and ITG will accept input from any of these (which is why DDR has "controller play" options.) About the only issus I can think of is that the XBox 'offical' pads have some sort of doohickey that makes you say you're playing on a pad instead of with a controller on XBoxLive, but since you can still play the game just fine without it, it's not really a problem.
