I'd say go with the Cobalt Flux and Arcade style mod, as I've heard stories of the Afterburner cracking or sensors failing to work as well.

I really need to make a pad-buying thread. D:

oh my gosh you are so lucky that you have a ddr club at your school, a few years ago my gym got flux's for the middle school to use just after i left, i was soo mad. anyways i think you should go for the flux, it is defianetely worth it, ive heard that the other metal ones move around too much and they break in a matter of months, i wouldnt trade my flux for anything else iether, its my baby.

Maybe it's because the arrow pads are broken. One of my arcade has a DDR machine that on the left you have to be fat to successfully press the arrow but the right works perfectly (which is why I'm so used to playing on the left side).

I have a Champion metal pad (better than Tournament pad) and it works perfectly. Only bad thing is that if your a bar raper (especially on 10-footers) you would be disappointed with the bar as it keeps moving back and forth and would sometimes unscrew itself, but a good pad nonetheless.

How much does it cost?

Edit: We're using a desk right now for a bar, anything is an upgrade.
