I have an RO Ignition Pad, and the X/A button stopped working. FORTUNATELY, I just got it (for my B-Day), so no worries!

sorry but I dont have time to read through 100 pages if somebody has asked these questions.

RedOctane(or whatever) Ignition 2.0 pad

how well does this work on carpet?
are these boys worth $100(I do NOT want to mod any pad so dont answer with that)
will it work good on 8/9 footers(over long period of time)?
anybody have bad experiances with them?

I got a DX extreme soft bad from BNS and it's kinda messed up. The foam covering the sencor moved. Is there any way that I can move the foam without actually cutting into the pad? I need to know if I need to or not.

what do you guys reccomend for "sliding material"?

I just bought some soft pads and am planning to mod them by taping them down onto a non-slip rug... however i would think it would be best to have some kind of covering over the top, too, for sliding... so i don't tear up the pads... or to make it easier...

At home, I had my pads modded onto plywood, with a (soft) plastic covering... there were these huge bags from my basement, but i don't know where i would be able to buy or obtain something like that. Right now i'm away at college... the only "big" store remotely close to here is a wal-mart and a BJ's...

What do you guys reccomend for a covering? I could buy something online, but i'd rather just find some kind of cheap material to do the trick...

... or should i not cover it at all, and i'll be fine?

Thanks fr any help, in advance.

Ive just bought a new pad. Here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=21188&item=8134045469&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

Mine cost a mere 30 dollars and its staring to crack in the middle where i fold it up cause i have to store it away when I dont use it. I heard there were plastic covers for the cheap matts, is this true and how much do they cost, thanks

I have two pads. I have a $20 Naki which is ripped up on the surface and the bottom (bottom because it was duct taped to the floor...which was probably a bad idea) I can't really use it because of all the rips and it slides on concrete floor. I don't really like it much because it can't keep up with me on the really difficult songs.

I also have an official Konami pad which I loved cause it didn't slip at all and was responsive....after a few motnhs of playing, it's not so responsive and I can barely finish songs with it. It's fried or if the foam inside is stretched out, I'm afraid trying to fix it would just ruining it.

Regretfully, I think I'm going to buy another soft pad...but I was wondering what everyone here thinks. The most I'd want to spend is about $45 and I liked the Konami style...non-slipping is a god selling point.

So, what should I do? What should I buy? Where should I but it from? Thanks!

Is there any way to repair the pad if the conductors between the insulating foam layer become worn? I think that happened to my last bundled (Max 2) pad.
