 |
|
Hey, there are so many people asking me these days which cheapo pad is the best since they can't afford good ignitions. Here are the contestants:
Naki DPR2
Madcatz Beat
MyMyBox High Energy
CypherGame's Topway
So which one's the best in your opinion? I'm guessing the Naki DPR2. |

| Though I don't know how easy they are to find and if you're playing via console or sim, I've loved my Topway PC pad (connects directly to LPT, and includes a LPT->PSX converter, though mine was DOA) that I found for $8 at a thrift store. It's lasted me quite a long time... I've had it for about 6 months now, and it wasn't modded until a month ago (to prevent slippage, not to stop defects) but it still works perfectly. |

I had a Mad Catz Beat Pad that's been working fine for about 8 months now. Got it for $9 on clearance.
Of course, I wisened up pretty quick and got a hard pad, but it still works. One of my friends has it. |

I've been hearing good things about the Naki DPR2's and the Mad Catz Beat pads. Which one of these do you think is better?

I am interested of getting pads for my computer too, since I'm too lazy to bring my metal pads upstairs. I found two LPT pads:
http://www.buynshop.com/productinfophp3/VG-DDR-PC
and
http://www.play-asia.com/paos-13-3002400a.html
Which one do you recommend? Anyways, I only have one printer port, but is there a way I can play doubles? If I can't play doubles with these, I might as well get a EMSUSB2 and use the best cheapo pads. |

mines lasted for about its 3rd year.
I recommend that you get the first pad you posted, its for both pc and ps which will come in handy. About any pad bordered in green is offically "crappy" so i don't even consider those pads.

| Yeah I guess you're right, haha. But can you hook up two of these pads to your computer? |

| I have the naki dpr2 pad. Bought it from software etc. Its not that bad of a pad actually. I weigh 200 lbs, and I do try and treat it nice and not beat it a lot. I use it 30-45 mina day, and it works just fine after 3 months. Only problem I have with it is occasionally the back button doesnt complete the circuit everytime, but that is actually rare. Its a fine pad, and I am going to buy another so I play doubles. CAnt go wrong for $20 |
