There's a difference between a hard pad and an arcade-style pad. Hard pads are just pads made of hard plastic, while arcade-style pads are more or less just like the real thing. These things tend to break really fast (Many of them really don't last much longer than soft pads) and cost more, making them overall a bad choice.

I think the Konami Aracde DX pad is the closest thing... There was a limited amount made by Konami, they sold them for $2,500 a pop, but by now they're all gone, and I'm sure the price has skyrocketed since... The only difference beween that and the arcade pad is that the bar in the back is missing (Although I think you could install one if you wanted to)

Anyways, yeah, if you want a perfect-to-arcade pad, making one at home is still the way to go.
