I've never seen the pads, but considering how cheap they are, I wouldn't be too assured of the quality.

If you're looking for a foam pad, I've heard nothing but great things about these:

http://www.buynshop.com/productinfo/4985/VG-DDR-DXCB2/

The two-pack is $105.95, and the singles are $58.95. That's a bit more expensive (and doesn't come with a game), but at least you'll know it's good.

Eh.... most of my foam pads were between $50, and $100. As for quality, is there REALY a design difference at all between foam pads besides some mappings difference?

I had this exact pad, and it worked very well for some time on Heavy mode.

Yeah, a foam pad between $50 and $100 dollars is fine. But this is 2 foam pads and Ultramix for $80. Factor in the Ultramix and you're only paying around $20 per pad, which sounds like a low-quality foam pad to me.

I fail to see the correlation, considering the fact that is going on sale on e-bay, and most things on e-bay you can find cheaper than anywhere else.

And again I ask,. how different are fome pads from another really, when it comes down to design/function?

Look at the arrows. They are flat with the pad.
Basically they're like DDRgame pads.

You'll have a hard time finding the arrows.
That's why I like RO Ignition.

Your money though.

New products on Ebay that you could find in a store are generally not that much cheaper (in my experience anyway). And $20 is about the lowest you'll pay for a dance pad. Cost generally determines quality, and my conclusions go from there.

But if you own the pads and they work fine, then that's that.
