Down arrow trouble

Hi, everyone. I have a question about possibly fixing my pads. I used to own a pair of Naki DPR2 pads, and I had to get rid of one of them after a year because the down arrow was becoming less responsive: it works most of the time, but on 8-9 footers with lots of down arrow patterns (like the middle section of Rhythm & Police), it registers the first 2 or three, and the rest are all boos.

I then replaced my pads with BNS DX pads, but after only about 5 months, both of the pads are having the exact same problem, implying that it has to do with how I play. Is there any way I can correct the problems with the pad? I don't want to have to spend another $100 to buy new pads just to have them stop working after 5 months. Any help would be appreciated!

You really should have posted this in the soft pad sticky.

Honestly, it could just be that the Down arrow is wearing out. The DPR2s lasting a year was really good luck. I had a pair of Ignitions (official, btw) and the arrows (particularly Down) started to stick after only a few months. So I had it replaced, and then it happened again after a few more months. Do you know if the arrow is sticking, or just wearing out? That was the problem I had with Ignition-style pads.

Now I modify Konami pads and play on those. Without buying a metal pad or Cobalt Flux it's the best thing I can suggest.
