I own a pair of these and you can still buy them. They have a USB input. They're really nice and have recessed plexiglas arrows.
I play ITG PC R2 with custom song packs. My copy is signed by Kyle Ward.
Metal pads are pretty rare these days after Red Octane and Cobalt Flux went out of business, so those will be unfortunately quite hard to obtain.
You can always check out the Energy Metal pads. I hear they're generally quite awful, but some people report getting good pads that last awhile. http://www.amazon.com/DDRgame-Playstation-Energy-Arcade-2-6304100630490063056006306200/dp/B000IBQ6B8
Your other option is to build one
Absolutely. For me it's either between this or, possibly building one myself using actual arcade parts - actual arcade panels, high end wooden or impact plastic frame etc. But if I WERE to buy a pad, it'd an Energy pad full-stop.
No - In fact, I think the non-bar version actually uses overall more metal in it's construction than the Bar model. Unless you absolutely NEED the bar, I'd steer clear, plus it'll be easier to move and store etc.
Totally up to you, but honestly besides a used Flux or a Blue Shark I think these are by far your best bet until something better comes along.
Again, you may get a bum pad, but I'd order it through Amazon which has an Amazing Prime sale on these and awesome return policy if you get a womp pad - https://www.amazon.com/DDR-Game-Energy-Metal-Dance-Xbox/dp/B000IBQ6B8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Hope it works out for you man!
