Just thought I would give a review on my Ignition 2.0 from RedOctane that I got today.

Holy crap.

My mad catz piece o' trash is now officially been demoted to door mat status. I like this pad better than some of the metal pads I have played on. The only advantage a metal pad has is that it gives you better reaction time when it comes to those quick 3+ arrow stomps. I play on carpet and I have had no problem with the pad slipping, even on heavy, granted I have only tried 7 and 8 footers on it. If you are looking for a good pad and dont want to spend an insane amout of money then this is the way to go. I also noticed that ebgames.com will be selling Red Octane pads starting in like 2 weeks. You can preorder them now.

About Fry's-
They've got that Pelican wireless one, Konami pads,and 3 different mymyboxes-regular, special edition(loks like a solo pad, has green arrows instead of x and o), and premium padded, which is the same as the level six ignition 3.0(not 3.1, since the mymy doesnt have the really dense foam in a 3.1, its the same foam as in a 3.0).They also have mymbox hard plastic pads as well as the 2 mymybox mettal.I have a level 6 3.0 and a mymybox premium padded.THese things are like god to me, considering that I was using a topway pad before.They work well in doubles, and they rarely slip on my hardwood floors.I am able to pass a nonstop course going through the 8 oni step songs in ddrmax2 and could pass it with only 10 goods, which is an accompishment to me.

Heres a mod guide I just put up a couple days ago.

DDR CHUBBY PAD

i've been using two pads modded this way on single and double, and versus too, and on Standards up to 7 feet (i can't really do heavys yet) and they are absolutely solid.

I am sooo totally lost as to what pad I need to get; one of you peeps has to help me( and if I sound desperste, I am)! I was going to get the Konami DDR Ignition 2.0 pads. Those don't seem half bad. But then I saw the 3.0 and I can't tell the difference. Kobalt pads are supposed to be the best out there. But last I heard, they were $300 each! Red Octane makes a good Ignition pad, but the Konami ones are supposed to be better.

I'm so confused! E-mail me at [email protected], or reply to this forum fast! Tell me your suggestions on homepads, hard or soft, and preferably less than $200 each. I'm freakin out man!

THe Redoctane Ignition,BNS Ultra DX, and mymybox ignitions are all the same.The cyphergaes one is kinda different i believe.The mymbox ignitons available and fry's electronics and outpost.com are the same as most 3.0s, except that the foam it has is not as good as the bns ultra insert thingies or the redoctane foam.

Here. I'll ask this instead. For anyone who knows about pads at all and has a lot of experience, whether it be a bad purchase, or two years of maniac dancing, and in your personal opinion, which pad is the absolute best pad and is it also the best home play pad? Rank the pads in your knowledgeable opinion. As far as I know, Intec pads suck, Mad Catz really suck, and even the generic Konami imports aren't any good. I'm still kinda confused, but thanks for your replys yesterday.

Well, to my luck, my BNS DX-Xtreme softpad was devilered to my house yesterday from FedEx, which i ordered off www.buynshop.com . I opened it up... ah, i love that new pad smell. The pad works perfect, and its way better than the madcatz and Naki DPR2 pads i used before. I like the idea of the raised arrows that tell you where you are on the pad without looking down. The hard insert helps also with cushioning your feet instead of dancing on a wicked hardwood floor, like i have. I even got a pree PSX-to-Printer port adaptor, so i can plug my pad into my computer and play StepMania, which owns.
