Metal DDR Pads?
crashwg:
Let us know how they work out. They look decent for the price.

First thing Gprime, mount that pad on wood. I had a metal pad just like that and it bent right away because it was thin and not designed well.

Wow that doesn't sound very good. I noticed it is quite thin but they advertise that it's made with "one pieced solid metal frame." Is yours a Red Octane LOKIOLR? I heard this one is identical to the Red Octane, and I've only heard good things about them (other than the fact that the LEDs light up *beside* the arrows and not *underneith*)
Thanks for the tip :)
gprime:
Not trying to double-post here, but I just read up alot of info on metal pads, and I think it's the pads without the outer frame support that tend to bend. Does yours have a metal frame? And roughly what does it weigh?
Thanks.

Build your own pad(s). I did, they work great.
I based mine of of this site:

It was actually pretty cheap to build. And the pad is very sturdy.
Plus I know exactly how it works so if it ever does break (hasn't yet after about half a year) I can fix it.
