Hey guys, found these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3052411033&category=21185

Seems that this seller has a tonne of them in stock and at 5 frickin dollars, can I go wrong with these? Has anyone else heard or had direct experience with these pads or seller?

Thanks biggrin.gif

These pads may not be beneficial to you.

1: They look to be of the Topway brand, which is OK for a basic player... but will die quickly if you are heavy or a maniac player.

2: The shipping cost is excessive... 15 bucks in the states is 3 times the cost of the "pads", I think they are making money off shipping.

Just My 2.0x10^-3 (2 cents)

Yeah, literally hours...before it dies.

I wouldn't trust to many DDR related products found on E-Bay.

I had these pads while I was a beginner to intermediate player. They worked out great for me! Keep in mind I also used a RedOctane pad cover on top of them. They work fine for their price. I played almost every day, and they lasted me about 3 months. And if they slide or scrunch too much, just mod them and you shouldn't have a problem. I'd recommend them for any beginner, but not for anyone who plans to play any higher than Standard mode in the next 3 months.
