home players: how many pads have you worn out?

alrighty, I have worn out two soft pads, and one works only on a hard surface so I guess u could say three. I just buy the 20.00 pads at gamestop that last a lil bit until I have saved enough to get the ignition. The first two have lasted like 7 months each and one almost a year.

Got to get another pad soon (3 have died). It seems that only 1 arrow breaks on each pad, and a different arrow each time, so by process of elimination, my next arrow woes will be with my left arrow. My most recently deceased pad lasted from january to july

I have a semi-worn out LevelSix softpad, which still functions well, so long as you don't play anything above a hard 9. I've had it (and played 9s on it) for 9 months now. The only other pad I have is my home-built metal one, and that's not about to die anytime soon (nothing that can't be easily fixed, anyway).

1 old mad catz dead
2 new mad catz dead
1 Ignition-dying

We are finally trying to save up for 2 metal pads. Right now I can't play a 6 or higher without a pad miss, so we usually screw around and play with our hands and faces.

Fun, painful, and something to hold us over until the next trip to the arcade.

Has anyone seen those Anime: Drugs would be cheaper! bumperstickers? I think some of us could use DDR ones.

2 official konami pads
1 10.00 wal-mart pad
2 40.00 pelican wireless pads
2 20.00 off brand pads (look like butterfly girls on em)
2 RO metal pads

I've spent a nice chunk of money to play at home. Stepmania rocks though.

Since I kept the old ones in some remote hope that someone I actually know would take up DDR, this is easy!:

2 absolutely generic, soft, ghetto pads
2 mad catz soft pads(even worse than ghetto)
1 Konami soft pad
1 TX-1000 Metal pad

Above is over the course of about 2 years. The metal pad is not totally dead, but was retired officially last week when the RO Afterburner arrived! It did last a good 8 months, but that is with a totally dead "X" button, severely cracked panels (all), and 3 life-support operations involving heavy splicing and duct tape. Hope the Afterburner fares better.
