Title: waste of money
Product review: I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of a red octane pad (3.0, the 2.0 is no longer being sold, what a pity) for a DDR party I was hosting at my college. My friends raved about it and he's had his for over two years, but working like new. Sadly, when I tested these pads on standard and heavy songs, the back button started malfunctioning, responding to any slight pressure on the pad, no matter where it was pressed. It sometimes wouldn't register and then fire off automatically. The pad is virtually useless now, try to find a different pad, the 2.0 pad was far superior but the 3.0's problem is the raised buttons, when those get bent in any fashion, the sensors get screwy.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
