Ebay Dance Pads

[adamthole]

I've done some searching, and I can't find anything on this forum (or anywhere) that really talks about the eBay dance pads. I was curious if anyone here was familiar with any of the following pads on eBay:

XBOX DDR DELUXE IGNITION DANCE PADS V5

PS2 DDR DANCE PAD V6.0

Dance Revolution DDR Pad for XBOX
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41017&item=8166124357&rd=1

Is it a decent pad? Is there any lag? Does it register on Xbox Live as a pad or a controller? Please specify which pad you are reffering to.

Thanks for the help, and ask all your other ebay pad questions/experiences here.

Perhaps Cutriss (I can't spell) will add this to the Start here thread?

I got two of the 6.0 pads. They feel a wee bit thinner and lighter than the Red Octane Ignition, but otherwise they're pretty good. The foam is really firm and hardly squishes at all. They need a little bit of wearing in, as they start out not very sensitive, but with some use they get much better. The top is the textured top, not the smooth kind.

The guy also sells these on his website www.vortz.com if you don't want to go through EBay for some reason.

I don't know how these work on XBox, I got the PS version. The same guy also sells dual XBox/PS versions for the 6.0 pads, but I don't know if these are physically the same or not.

I haven't tried the 5.0 personally, but judging from the descriptions on the Vortz website the foam in those is squishier than in the 6.0.

If Cutriss (I can't spell) is reading this, I'd like to suggest opening up a thread for the Vortz pads, as they don't seem to be the same as the RO/LevelSix or whatever else pads are out there. With the textured top, hard foam, and cheap EBay prices, I think the Vortz pads are probably the best deal out of all the Ignition type pads out there.
