Ehh.... IMO, sounds like a half-baked idea. But, I've also never seen anything like that before so I wouldn't really know. I would just got with building a metal pad.

Wow... That seems like a really good idea. A flat pad cost $20 so when it finally DOES wear out, it shouldn't be that hard to take it all apart, put in a new flat pad, and put on new tape. I think you might have better results if you figured out how to make certain panels raised to produce arcade effect.

Hi,

Here's my opinions
1) I think this post will become locked. There are already discussions about things of this sort. It'll depend on the Mods though.
2) There is a mod like this for soft pads....Actually, it's almost exact to what they say in the forms...
3) Hm...I'm not trying to be rude, but if you read, you would see there are already topics for this. They would be better suited to help you.

That's the post.

I hope that they can help you with the questions that you need.

You could also make costum arrows on paper to put between the pad and acrylic, that would add a nice touch!

Do you think more padding would also help, or would it hurt E19.gif
