ok, my pad is actually..... bending. I have not been playing it on carpet. Never have. ive been playing on hard tile. I have a MyMyBox MT6. Anyone who has thisw pad, does it bend. Mine is bending in the left, right, up, and down arrows. It doesnt really affect it at all except the pannels that you dont press kind of go upward and dont exactly touch the ground. I only weigh 150lbs.

well im guessing that the pad is weak, like how much do u play, what intencity? That could have something to do with it. And in the bending inwards
u coulds put something under each panel so when you step on it it wonth bend as much

My Cyphers did that. I pulled off all the little rubber feet off the bottom and my father built me a really nice wood frame for them to rest in.

I beleive you're referring to the acrylic, or plexiglass, up, left right, and down arrows; they're supposed to bend. This is the contact design. There is copper foil on the plexiglass (the blue and red arrows you see) and underneath them are metal sensors, when you press on the arrows, they bend and make contact and thats how they register to your pc or game console.

All in all, they DESIGNED and SUPPOSED to bend

Peace

ok.. but its nt othe plexie glass thats bending. ITs the actual metal. You are right tho its happening to the Up, Down, Left, and right arrows.

The actual metal step-plates, the ones that don't register as a button, are NOT supposed to bend the slightest. But if it's not damaging anything than I wouldn't worry about it, though it depends on how much it's bending.

If it's vastly bending I'd highly suggest either getting it replaced, going with a different brand, or just building your own *hint hint*

Anyways, good luck with it I hope you get it resolved, If need be.

Building a base mod can help. I bent the right and down arrow because I missed and stepped on the edge. That may be what caused your beding as well. Check on Cobalt Flux's forums for info on building a wooden base for your pad.
