Well, I dunno if you can blame DDRGame - they sell the TX pads [and pads like them - they don't make them. They probably buy their foam pads from one of the same factories that everybody else does - just with their names stamped on the pad control circuit housing. The quality problem is in part DDRGame, since they have the power to talk about pad quality with their suppliers, but they themselves probably don't make the pads we get.
I've heard of the pads, but dunno what to think after my experience with TX styled pads, and the fact tat I made my own.
