DDR Bluespark metal pad help

I wanted to know if this pad was worth it cause its metal but its only about 100 dollars and i was wondering if you thought it was worth it or if it would break in less than a month. Thank you ;]

Based on the fact that its name is almost identical to a real DDR pad, I'd say it's most likely total crap, and they sell them because people hear the name "BlueShark" and see the "BlueSpark" and wind up buying this cheap, most likely useless pad for $100 instead of the godly arcade-style pad that is the BlueShark.

You can even see on the picture on that other site that it has the "Fusion series" logo thing.
On BNS they're officially "Metal Fusion iR" pads.
Am I missing something here...?

Actually, this isn't a DDR pad, it's one of those things you get for people you hate for Christmas.

It's probably just like a tx1000 which is total crap

assuming it comes working, the TX 1000 pads usually work fine. my friend sold me his that came broken(he fixed it up tho) and really, its not a bad pad. its responsive, doesnt move, and doesnt give you very much pad bullshit. they're worth $100 max....so that pads really not a bad deal imo.

If you want a TX-1000 rip-off, get one on ebay for $70. At least those aren't another company's products sold under a different name.

Although at least RoXoR did stuff like not use the same logo and colour scheme and throw in some new mods.

Do NOT buy this pad. I know a girl who got tricked into buying this same pad on eBay (it was listed as Blue Shark, and when she got the pad, the seller told her it was a typo, and she'd have no case contesting it if she reported him, even though it was spelled "Blue Shark" no less than 7 times in the auction) and if broke in less than two weeks.

I dont know why everyone says that bluespark makes a crappy pad. I've have mine for about a year and a half and it still works great. The only thing that stopped working was the lights on the arrows but thats not a big deal at all. I say go with the bluespark it's a pretty reasonable price and its a great pad.
