Cobalt Flux Review (including pictures)

I have seen the Cobalt Flux pad but its kinda too expensive for me, the BNS pad is always sold out, and the cheap metal pads break too fast. I haven't seen the Konami metal pad and was wondering where I could find one.

I don't know man...i'vea heard people say that even their BNS pads broke down after a few months of use. I want to get this baby cause its warrantied for 6 months and it seems like this baby will last for over a year! What do you guys think that own this pad, does it seem like it will last for a long time??? cause i want to order one of these babies!!

I also heard the MyMyBox is pretty good. Im leaning toward that one but I want to see something on the Konami Metal pad.

The thing that I love most about my Cobalt Flux pads is that the fact it is 1 piece, unlike the Games Depot pad I had, and it doesnt really have any screws that will need to be tightened frequently. Also, one thing I couldn't stand about my GD pads is the "click" sound that resulted from stepping on an arrow. The CF has a more arcade-sounding "thump" when the arrow is stepped on.

Didn't they make only like 100? And aren't they around two thousand dollars besides?

Is your pad still working good?

Looks great, if I was buying a metal pad it'd be a Cobalt. I usually take an interest in metal pad threads, since if I was getting one it'd HAVE to be reliable (living in the UK, it's expensive to ship the thing back).

I figure the extra cost for a good pad with a company with good customer service is going to be very cheap compared to the cost of shipping should my pad develop a fault I can't fix and they decide to take it back.

If they (any seller) decide not to take it back I really am screwed, so a bit more for reliability I can swing.

i'm just wondering how your Cobalt pads are holding up over time. most of these posts were made quite a while ago.

Still working like the day I bought it. I did have an unfortunate accident last week with a wire inside the control box being ripped from the solder point making the left arrow stop responding. My theory: Somehow I managed to move the cable connecting the control box to the platform a little too much in the wrong direction, and that put stress on the cable that got ripped apart (there was NO slack on it). I do have one of the older control boxes so its possible this isn't an issue anymore. I emailed CF tech support and they mailed me a new control box the next day

Oh, and I did this to stop the sliding on carpet. Sucker doesn't slide a millimeter now

My CF pad gets here in 1-2 weeks, and by the time I get it the pad will have existed longer than my ignition was in good condition...
