Hi, I never got the joy of playing on an official konami pad... But I did get the Madcatz one, its was only 39.99 canadian... It, after a while got some issues with it such as.... OMG!!! THE SLIDING!!!! STOP F***ing SLIDING!!!! and it wouldnt pick up SOME arrows, but that was after 8-9 months... Anyways...what is your take on it... Which pad is better....A modded Home 3rd party mat or the KONAMI mat....
Also...have you seen the ULTRAMIX specs??? I think Madcatz made quite an improvement but weel have to see november 18th!

Those thinking about buying a MadCatz Soft Pad take my advice: DON'T BUY IT!!!! The stinking thing slides easily, tears when doing tough songs (MAX 300, Paranoia songs), and looks like it was basically designed for Britney's Dance Beat (when I bought the pad, my sister thought I was getting BDB, I felt so embarrased). Thankfully, now my mom and dad are gonna buy me a better pad like a really good Red Octane Pad. Yaaaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!!!

I hate MadCatz pads. The first day I bought one, the up arrow go stuck. I like Red Octane Pads better than official soft Konami pads.

I've had my pair of MadCatz pads for over a year and they've not failed once. They don't slide, they don't move a bit. The secret? RO pad covers and duct tape. The pad covers are a little small for the pad, but then you tape them on and tape the side and back edges to the floor. Suddenly, no pad movement.

i'm not sure about konami but i did get the Naki dance pad that came with the original that i got off ebay.... They have lasted ever since.... Rarely a problem and usually fixed by smoothing the pad and careful folding to be sure not to break the pad....
