Choosing a pad for SM...

[plasmix]

For Christmas this year, I have decided to get a pad and adapter to play StepMania on my PC. I need some help deciding the best pads that are affordable ($40>) and effective. Suggestions are appreciated.

I've found several websites.

yeah, red octane is good. the metal one is expensive though. umm...playasia.com has some FFR type stuff. try going there. most of its in japenese though.

[Nima]

no... redoctane is OK... but the one I have is way better.

Are the ones on BuyNShop ok? Those cost like @#%$ lot.

I got a metal pad from E-bay for 25.00$

The shipping was 45.00$ though -_- Then another 8.25% tax. >:O

Thanks for your help, everyone.

Best bassoon player in class + Christmas = better gift = Metal DDR Pad (around $200)

I'll hope.

[plasmix]

Umm...

But my dad was happy. That's all that counts.
