To know if the screws are in a good amount, step on the pad. If the screw feels like its too high, screw it in more. If the arrow isn't sensitive enough, screw it in more. If you screw them in enough, you can't screw them in anymore, and thats a good point to stop.

Also, when taking apart the pad, don't rip the contact wire, it'd be a pain to reattach one of those if you cut it in two.

Had my first one since january and haven't needed to clean it yet (though I'm going to soon)... but I keep it in a fairly clean garage. I've had my second one since march and that one had a lot of initial problems that are fixed now.

Just a little tip though, for the start and select buttons, clean those rather frequently because if a speck of dirt gets under there it can punch through the plastic and lead to an area for the metal to make contact. Happened to me so I just had to use tape over the plastic wrap to cover the holes... I'll probably remove all the tape and plastic wrap later when I can find some decent ruber coating.

Just a note, the new version of the control box, as of about mid-march, no longer contains a select button, the select button is wired as triangle, because it is treated like select in the US mixes, but won't result in a hard reset if you step on triange and start at the same time.

I have a question. So when Ultramix comes out for Xbox what are they going to do about that? Just make a seperate control box for Xbox or will we have to buy new pads?

most likely new box... I highly doubt we'll have to buy new pads for it.

Or you buy the PS2->xbox converter that has been mentioned lots of times in many threads.

Yes but knowing Microsoft they will make their own pad that completely blows and they wont make anything else compatible

Actually thats kind of funny...would be even funnier to see them fail at the dance pad market:)

AlRite i was just gonna make a thread on this.

Ok, I was playing Itg Tell expert on my cf when i did a really loud and hurried jump and heard a creaking noise. I played for the rest of the song and looked at my pad.
I was like holy crap there was a huge crack across the middle of a panel. Not only that but on the bottom there was also a widening crack.
I got afterburners after that.

You could've posted this in the actual Cobalt Flux Pad topic, rather than bouncing a 2-year old thread.
