Which pad should I buy for my home?

Sky Gurl · Basic Member Joined: 07 Sep 2007

I am not sure if this topic is in the right place or not because I am new here, so if I misplaced it, please move it for me, thank you!

I am saving up for a home pad. I have been playing DDR for a while and I have a soft plastic pad, but I have been playing ITG and some DDR in the arcade on metal pads for 2 months now and I could never go back to using my soft pad, especially using no bar. I am addicted to the metal pad, and I love the bar. It has improved me alot. So I am saving for my own metal home pad.

I need suggestions, information, opinons, links or whatever possible from anyone experienced in this situtation. Like which are best made, price, performance, ect, ect.... I like the sensitive pads on the ITG pad at the arcade alot.. But the one pad I have been looking at online is a BlueShark. It's listed DDR, I believe, but it says sensitive and people seem to think it's good. So yes, I am lost... Please help opinons??

My Blueshark still works perfectly after 8 months of use, though some people's Bluesharks have utterly sucked, I heard, and MyMyBox's support is virtually nonexistent.

why do not you try their new nexen pad? and let us know! ha ha

I'm pretty sure the nexen doesn't meet the bill here. Available pads that do meet the bill:

BlueShark
TX-6000
Homebrew.

And eventually the DT200.

I need some tutorials including places to buy the material for making my own pad. I have Riptide's design on a VCD but that's all. And I cannot find any place that sells Plexiglass (though I didn't check my local hardware department yet).

Also, if the building pad thing doesn't work, anyone know a good retail store that sells foam pads that will last? My current one is dying and I am replacing the foam and attempting to get a new one for doubles/quick replacement.

I've been waiting for a BlueShark for a while too. >_>

If you wanna get a cheap hard pad, get a cobalt flux. The only problem is you might need to find a chair or something that you can lean on if you bar rape like me.
