$5 less but no guaranteed warranty? No thanks, but I'm not spending $295 + shipping without SOME backup... and if someone was considering buying a CF, the difference between $295 and $300 is so great.

For anyone that might need it, I've posted a guide on how to clean a Cobalt Flux over on the CF forums.

damn i just got this thing, its hard to get used to even though ive played at home alot before on a RO metal pad.

This thing moves alot when i play and i seem to be getting NG's for no reason. On top of that, the 2 corner arrows r pointed in the same direction. I thought the upper left was supposed to point upperleft, but its pointed to the right. Its no big deal or anything, just that maybe they weren't so careful in making it.

That whole corner arrow thing actually does happen sometimes, just extremely rarely. I'm almost thinking they do it on purpose just to get some "unique" pads out there, which is kind of a dumb thing to think, but oh well

If you haven't done so already, you may need to de-bow your panels so they have better responsiveness.

Hello everyone

I just want to ask a question. Does anyone in here knows how much are the pieces of good hard wood about 35in x 35in? because i play in carpet and I want to make a base for my CF. I want to avoid future cracking in the bottom of my CF.

Thanks

For the wood base, just use particleboard, its only like 6 bucks. Heres a link to my base mod.

Also, u need to loosen every screw, but not too much, just enough to let off the pressure. Also make sure u have the controller settings set to dance pad, that may mess u up too.

And yes. the pad does move around alot, I've been meaning to make a mod for that I'll let u know when I do it. I was thinking of that stuff that u use under computer chairs or something.

Does the time of day that you order it have any effect on the time of shipping? I ordered mine 10:00 Thursday night, and it will soon be 10:00 Tuesday night. It is still being built; does anyone know whether or not it will likely ship by tonight?

(btw, I'm aware that it says USUALLY 3 to 5 days; I'm just curious.)

Hey you guys, i'm looking into getting some metal pads for our school's DDR activity. Since the pads won't be mine, i'm trying to do the least, if any modding to the pad that I get because I have no experience with modding. I was wondering how an unmodded CF works in terms of responsiveness, durability, etc. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply Ketchup. I think we're going to order a doubles set tomorrow. After reading some more on the pad I see it has a bit of an issue with sliding of the pad. What's the best fix for this? Would putting wood under if even if i'm playing on a hard floor help? THanks.

I play on my CF with a wood base, I put the sticky anti-slip things that comes with the pad under my CF and then I put some duck tape on the wood, this prevents my pad from sliding, that works for me.

I finally went and bought a CF doubles set a couple months ago, and after some delays due to one of their suppliers missing a shipment deadline, got them about a month ago. They're quite nice, though when I first received them, the right pad had a slight issue where stepping close to the edge of the center button would make the left button trigger.

I ended up taking off the left button to see what was going on, and saw that the wire leading to it was very slightly stripped, in a way which looked like they pinched it while assembling it. It wasn't a huge deal and I just added some electrical tape and now it works like a dream. Still, it's a bit annoying that they let the wire get partially stripped.

Still, this is definitely the best set of pads I've ever had. They're even better than the arcade!

How long until the holiday sale and are they gonna get a USB cbox soon?

PAP · Basic Member Joined: 04 Nov 2005

I emailed and answered that question a couple days ago. I'm ready to buy a pair but want USB connectivity so I"m looking at other options (blueshark primarily). They didn't answer my email.

I don't see why a USB control box would be difficult at all.
