ALL Soft Pad Discussion goes HERE

I am playing Stepmania on my xbox, and I really need a new pad. The soft pad just isn't cutting it anymore. I am thinking about getting the game elements converter at walmart, but I also need to know which soft pad is the best for me.

I love playing on my friend's RO pad, but I don't want to spend $100. At max I want to spend $50, and I have been looking at the hard foam pads from levelsix, cypher, and buynshop.

Does anyone have any experience with any of these pads using the game elements converter for xbox? Which works the best using a converter? I almost bought the levelsix xbox pad, but then I saw that it is out of stock for a few weeks.

Thanks!

bns dx are good since they are cheaper to replace than ro

but remember you can always get the ones at levelsix.com

i haven't heard a detailed review about the pads

but i've heard they were good

I don't know how they compare to the BNS DX though =\

[levelsix 2.1 pads]

I'm glad to hear that the converter works well. I suppose the converter will work with stepmania if they work fine with Ultramix. Also, do you know if the Gemini Industry converters are sold in the b&m eb stores?

I think I will go with a bns dx pad since I have heard a few negative things about service at levelsix, and the xbox pads are out of stock. Also, sorry about the multiple posts, but I tried posting several times over the course yesterday and everytime I got a mail send error.

Thanks!

Has anyone bought these v3.0 ignition pads from vortzgames, or is there a specific thread about them? It looks too good to be true to me. If everything were to go well the total would be about $55 or so, but there is no mention of the pad having raised buttons. Also, do the diagonal buttons on the v3.0 vortz and v3.1 levelsix correspond to the buttons as well as the solo steps?

If I can be certain the vortz pads are just as good as levelsix and bns pads, that might be the way to go so I could have a backup, or extra pad if I get two converters.

My three week old soft pads are shot. The sensors don't pick up anything! luckly I only spent about $60 on both (came in a bundle), and I got free PS2 extention cables <==== those really help with how much these pads move. In about, Mmmm, two weeks the foam and the arrows started to curve, and soon after that they just stopped working. So, if you're somebody who plays a lot (like 3/4+ hrs. a day) and plays on high levels (standard and heavy) do not get these pads (ignition 2.0). They are worthless. As a word of advice, if you're good, and want good pads, always go for the hard ones. I'm working on getting me some arcade pads for about 750 bucks.

After seeing those pictures, I think I might just go ahead and bid on a pair. From the pictures, the pads look comparable to RO's, BNS's, and other ignition pads. Too bad I will have to spend more money on the converters than I did on pads!

Sorry in advance if this has been written before, but i didnt feel like going through 58 pages of posts just to find something. I have a couple MadCatz PS2 pads and i want to mod them. I have seen many ways to mod them and i'm not sure what way would make it last the longest. I've heard a lot about the chair mat modding, but does anyone know where i can find instructions (with pictures) on how to do it? Has any one done this one ----> http://www.ddruk.com/articles/display.php?id=41 ?? If you have, does it work good? And what about the one where you tape it down to a piece of wood? any advice would be appreciated
