Cheap Metal Pads

**travman301** · 12-2-2006, 06:50 PM

Hi, and sorry if this has been posted before.
Anyways, I've just started a DDR club at my school, and our pads are pathetic. Does anyone know where to get realitively cheap metal pads? In a couple of weeks we should have a couple hundred dollars.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps!

I wouldn't trust ebay that much. I've seen that most of the pads that some people are selling have acrylic arrows, which will crack easily (acrylic/plexiglas is shatterproof though).

But don't listen too muc into this. I myself actually dont own a metal pad.

I was going to buy one off of Lik-Sang, but it got shut down.

Why not? It's a great place.

Cause cheap metal pads are sold on ebay...and they break

I wouldn't recommend buying metal DDR pads from ebay. They're far too much of a risky gamble and chances you'll end up wasting your money by buying a poorly made, fragile one.

Although their prices are lower, but as the saying goes you get what you paid for. Ebay, not a good choice.

My friend got 2 TX-1000s on Ebay a few years ago. They're working fine ever since he got them.

I also got some crappy foam pads off Ebay a couple years ago. They lasted for 3 months maybe (because I used to stomp the **** out of them).

So, in my eyes, Ebay is not such an evil place.

I wouldn't normally recommend E-bay, but my church has a pair of metal pads (yes my church has a DDR) and they rock, so its pretty much if you feel comfortable with it i guess

Don't buy cobalt.

Metal pads are the best. I used to play with the ****ty pad that came with the game, and then I got a better one, and it's awesome.

**travman301** · 12-21-2006, 03:53 PM

I'm a little sacred of Ebay. It's a gamble. You could get one that works or not. I don't really want to risk the club's funds if there's an alternative.

shrimpy · 12-21-2006, 06:41 PM

did you try amazon.com?

Rathalos888 · 12-21-2006, 07:36 PM

I honestly think aTX pad should work. I think they're pretty good.

Galop2this · 12-24-2006, 06:36 AM

I have a flux and I wouldnt trade it for the world.. I have played on other pads but I have an arcade mod for my flux so I feel right at home with it.. Bluesharks are good pads.. But not cheap.. I payed a total of about $370. That included the arcade mod and shipping.. I got in in less that 2 weeks.. COMPLETE*

I didnt get it off Ebay either,, Go to the CobaltFLux web site.. they also sell stuff for schools..

Pichu_XP · 12-24-2006, 11:24 AM

Cheap working metal pads? Pssshhh, it's just a myth.
