not a problem. i'm still paying far less than it would be for, say, 2 ignition pads, heh.

i also have friends who really like pump and want decent affordable homepads. if im satisfied, ill be sure to reccomend them to the DT pads, since your pretty much the only people who do (good) PIU hard pads.

I just discovered this, and I must say it looks extremely awesome! I would like to ask how the dimensions are compared to the arcade? Can you make a deluxe 4 panel pad exactly the same size as a DDR machine's pad?

I'm willing to bet he could, but most certainly remember/notice that there are no products on the line yet. Still in design/prototype phases, if I'm right...

ah i don't care for the wait, I just hope it is not going to be one of those vidoe game waits where they say oops, time to revamp! 10 years later... on no a better game engine, time to revamp again! But tofu if you can make one that is well worth as you say i will buy one for sure!!!

and as the Asian i am, i want the cheapest pad that is metal. ^o^

I can't remember if I mentioned this to you specifically yet, but I may have a distributor in Arizona soon.

When the web site's up, we should be able to get quite a few distributors, which means a much higher revenue, which means more prototypes sooner.

Even if I can't get a distributor in or near Arizona, DT600's should only cost about $15-$25 to ship.

A little warning to everyone, I might have to raise the price of the DT600 series pads a bit. Not too much, but I looked back, and realised I hadn't factored in a few components. Don't worry, they'll still be the cheapest quality hardpads available on the market. For those who order before I officially change the prices, I won't add to your charge unless the material cost is actually higher than the retail price. I'll probably raise the price within a week or two of finishing and fully assimilating the prototype, so be ready to jump in there if you want one for $50. The finalised prices should only be about $10 higher, but I wanted to warn everyone anyway. I may counter this letdown by lowering the price of the DT200's $25. We'll see how this all goes down first though.

Also, I'm seriously considering renaming all the models. I'd like everyone's input.
EDIT:
So here's what I'm looking for. I need new names for all the models that sound good, but not too flashy. I'd like to keep it along similar lines as what we have. Here's the catch though: they can't be DT100, DT200, etc, because that might confuse people.
I'm thinking something similar to MMB pads, where they each have a name and everything, except that I'd like to have a common theme. I think it would be kind of fun to have them all named after rare chronic illnesses. Thanks all.

Haha, I can see it now:

DDRChild: "Mom, can you help me pay for my Testicular Cancer?"
Mother: "WHAT?!"
DDRChild: "I know it's expensive, but these SOFT PADS aren't doing it for me."
Mother: O_O

Is this pad going to be compatible with the Phantom gaming console?

Rare, chronic illnesses.
The DT Ulcerative Cholitis
The DT Hepatitis C
The DT HIV (wow that's terrible, lol)
The DT Multiple Sclerosis
The DT Epilepsy
The DT Heart Disease
The DT Diabetes
If you wanted to be THE MAN, a small percentage of each pad sold would go to a research institute dedicated to finding a cure for the illness after which the pad is named. Just a thought.

How about minor maladies and/or afflictions? The comedic potential is enormous.
The DT Hangnail
The DT Nosebleed
The DT Razorburn
The DT Heatstroke
The DT Splinter
The DT Leg Is Asleep
The DT Pins-And-Needles
The DT Selective Deafness
The DT Colorblind
The DT Xanthophobia
The DT Lack of Depth Perception
The DT Left-Handedness

This is fun.

YES!

I also like the idea of portions of proceeds going to support research for diseases. In fact, I've pledged at least $50 of my personal profit off of it to the 2007 Walk for Cancer or whatever it's called. My family's full of chronic illnesses, so trying to stop them seems like a logical thing for me to do.

On another note, HANGNAIL METAL PADS! NOW AVAILABLE!!!

A little update on our progress!

The Prototype should be finished by today. I'll let you know or have somebody let you know later today if it's not finished.

I have ordered 12 lexan panels. 4 of these will go on my old tx1000's, which should appear on eBay in about 2 weeks, and the other 8 will go into our first confirmed and payed order.

It's really great to see this finally picking up, but I have to go finish the prototype now. Expect me back with pics and vids shortly!
