I started out with the flat pad.It really sucked after a while.
Now i have a Red Octane Foam pad.It's so awesome at first,because it doesn't move around as much.After a few months,which is not nearly long enough,it totally turned to crap.You tatally have to step in the middle for the back arrows.This is really annoying when you're getting better,and you fail a song because of it.
It's not like I play it way too much.I'm on heavy now,but now my pad won't allow me to finish a song.Arghh!
Even some of the arcade dance pads are faulty.
Is this just naturally going to happen or do you think it will all be improved in the future? domokun

Well really, considering that it's taking several hundred steps per minute, there's nothing you can really do to prevent it from crapping out.

That's so true.I just hate to spend so much money on something that lasts for a few months.Especially when the game's in great condition.Hopefully there will be an indestructable pad one day.Then again,nothing's indestructable. neutral

I paid $200 for mine (I got ripped at the store I bought it at, it should've only been like $170 ), and it's going on it's third year.

My ignition 2.0 still works fine. I had it over a year and put it through HELL. It went through max 300 hundreds of times and even got slammed with pandemonium expert and 12's.
Of course I have a cobalt flux now, which owns. Im going to make myself a real metal arcade panel set sometime to completely pull off the arcade experience.

My dance pad is only minorly torn after 2 years of playing on it (but nothing too serious.). But i would still never suggest it to somebody. Hopefully I can get a metal dance pad... Nothing like the sound of playing difficult songs on heavy mode with a metal dance pad.

I should take a picture of MY pad and show you people. I play about 2 hours a day. Now that I'm playing 9-footers, it's really falling apart. Now that i'm finally good enough, I can't get a AAA in anything because my pad craps out every 80 steps or so. It did so on the last three notes of Drop the Bomb (STD) yesterday, and I'd had perfects all the way through, up until those three almosts. mad
Earlier, it seemed to be mostly just the Left, Right, Down and UP arrows though. xp

I don't think our dance pads were faulty, but me and my sis wen't through 2 of them because we wore shoes and draged our feet on the fast steps when we were tired... But she paid for all of them... Hehehehehe! xp

I need a metal pad.
Right now, I still have "B"s, "C"s, "D"s, and "No"s flooding the songlist on Heavy, because of my way-too-sensitive Up and Right buttons, and my not-sensitive-enough left arrow, and my down arrow that likes to just run away on hard songs. (I'll hit where it was 10 steps before only to find out that the pad has migrated another foot. -I don't have this problem with the other buttons, because I can see them out of the corners of my eyes.)

EDIT: Sorry for keeping the dead thread alive....I'm going to bed now, before I do something stupid. sweatdrop
