B) Anyone know where I can find a decent pad besides red octane?

A) Mod it. There's a billion places online that will show you how to mod a pad; www.ddrfreak.com being one of them. My first pad mod involved plywood and double-sided velcro; cost me only $3.

B) Have someone build you a metal pad or build one yourself or go to the arcade later at night, carry the arcade pad out to your car, strap it on the roof and take it home. The other sites will basically carry different versions of what's on Red Octane. Soft pads aren't the greatest; you'll have invest a little (or sometimes a lot) to get a great home pad.
