    Look into an Akai LPD8 then. The pads really good and responsive plus you have a handful of knobs as well. Compared to the MF it's a good deal for the money

    the lpd8 is another good choice but i don't think as good for cue points as a MF and nothing close to being as solidly built. it is a bargain tho, lpd8's are stupidly cheap.

    I think the pads are just as responsive as any arcade button out there (Used to play Tekken competitively and build my own controllers when I was younger). Maybe grid layout is a personal preference, but that has nothing to do with performance.

    u have to bash the lpd8 a lot more than a midi fighter, but u can adjust the sensitivity by adding some tape underneath or something. the mf arcade buttons don't take much pressure at all to engage. ofc if u want 16 buttons/pads then u need two lpd8's and then the price difference isn't so much. i paid 38quid for my lpd8 new and 130 for my mf 2nd hand, but it came with a bunch of extras. they're both decent controllers anyway, which is why i have both.

    Then maybe I got a good LPD8 or something because it doesn't take much pressure to engage. Just a simple tap much like an arcade button.

    Ha! Yeah man, used to go across the US for tournaments and locally as well. Was paying my bills for a bit too when I graduated High School and didn't want to join the workforce yet.
