What kind of XBOX pad should I get?

There is no legitimate answer for that. Basically, all the REALLY good stuff is only for PS2 right now. I suppose you can wait until the good folk at CF and RO come out with XBOX Cboxes. Until then, just use the bundled pad.

You can get the Konami pad here:

They're pretty pricey at $45 a piece, though. I've owned both the Mad Catz Beat Pad and Beat Pad Pro. I recommend neither. The Konami pad beats both of them.

So get it stand alone and order the konami pad seperately?

I've seen places online where you could buy a Playstation to Xbox converter. You could get a metal pad or a CF pad for Playstation and then get the separate converter so you could use it on Xbox.

It's just easier to save yourself the hassle and order a Konami pad. It's not bad as far as soft pads go, you can have a headset in it, it registers as a dance pad not a controller and will save you the trouble of trying to find a good converter. Order a Konami pad and if you have a PS2 pad, buy a converter for it. Now you can play doubles.

I've gotten 2 Xbox pads so far.

The first was a Naki softpad, which worked well in single player, but on Xbox Live the pad didn't have a compatible port for the Communicator headset and also got picked up as a controller by the game.

The softpad I most recently purchased was a Madcatz softpad, this pad actually registers as one online, has a slot for the headset, and came with an extension cord for the headset.

So if you want a 3rd party pad go with Madcatz, unless you don't plan on playing on Xbox Live. I myself am going to take my defective Naki pad and put it on the 2P side when I mod both pads to plywood for doubles play, then during online play I will use the Madcatz pad on the 1P side.

The official pad the game comes with is awesome. To me, it's great for a soft pad. I can easily full combo 7foot+ songs with it... now i just need some plywood to keep it from rolling up XD

I like the pad that comes bundled with Ultramix...its pretty accurate compared to other pads on the market, and once modded, it would probably make a good pad. Its a million times better then the crappy Penguin wireless pads.
