Initially yes. However, many people have built and attached their own bars to the Cobalt Flux, and they seem to work rather well. If you dig back in the thread a bit, I think some pictures show up. |

| After reading around, I bought a Cobalt Flux. I'm tired of my foam pad already after a week. |

You could try getting used to not using the bar |

chances are, you're also too tired to play ddr =/
installing the arcade mod is basically removing 20 screws, and putting it back on.
tho trying to remove the arcade mod, and turn it into a piu mod is a nightmare without an electric drill 7__7  |

I just finished playing on my Flux with the newly installed arcade mod. I played on it without the mod for about a month already.
My scores are generally a lot higher, but I'm having a little bit of trouble moving quickly between arrows. As a result, I failed a lot of 11's and 12's that I've passed before. Hopefully I'll get used to it and be able to get high scores on hard songs  |

I have a question about the Cobalt Flux pad.
If you get two, can they link together to play Doubles mode? I've seen a TX-1000 with that feature. |

Ah, thank you.

|

I just need opinions for more experimented players. I have been playing ddr on and off for almost 2 years now. I had a lot of soft dance pad and I am about to be finished with the RO ignition v2.0 (surprisingly, it lasted long). I am now tempted to buy the Cobalt Flux, because all I heard is good review and they look very cool and durable. However, I am still a standard player (shame on me) and I was wondering if is still worth to pay 300$ in my situation. I am kind of tired of buying dance mat and I really don't know what my other options are... RO v3.0 got very bad review...
Also, is the fact that I am still playing SD mode could influence the durability of the mat and explains why my RO ignition pad lasted so long... Thanks

Short answer: Simply no pad measures up to the CF, besides the Konami ASC
Long answer: Even on Standard, you'll soon move up to heavy songs where a good pad is a necessity. Playing in shoes is very different and MUCH better than socks, and the CF is the only pad that handles shoes well (TX pads break, I own a broken Afterburner, and I don't hear a whole lot about the Bluesharks) I bought my CF when I was only a standard player, and i'm happy I invested. If I bought a different pad I would have soon moved up to my CF and wasted money 
BTW, I played for 10 (maybe 9 or 11 I dk) months without the Arcade mod and I recently got it and I LOVE it, get it

Lucspeedy,
Thanks, they just e-mailed me saying that it was $48.00 per pad.
That seems reasonable. Everyone on eBay changes $100+ for shipping.
If I can get $150.00 more, I am going to buy one Cobalt Flux pad.
I want to buy the Doubles pack, but I'm not going to be allowed to spend that much money at one time, and plus it would be until Christmas before I got that much money.
My mom could have bought me them, but I got tickets to WWE: Unforgiven instead.
The Cobalt Flux looks awesome! 
I can't wait until I get one! The only thing holding me back from buying it is the fact that you can't play them on the carpet without the bottom cracking. I doubt my parents would even let me try to build a base, and if I did, would there be a good tutorial? I've seen alot of people with plywood bases and I really dislike the look. Would painting it black matter? It would still be just as effective, right? |

Thanks everybody for your quick answer.
Darkcore:
I have been on the Cobalt Flux website (forum section) and one of the administrator says it is ok to put it on a carpet... But in the faq, they recommend not to do so... I understand that you don't want to take any chance with your 300$ purchase... Since I am not very handy myself I won't be much help here.
DefaultGen:
Thanks for the advice. Gonna get the CF next month for sure! One more last question : I used to have a metal pad (cheap one that lasted one month!) in my apartment. The neighbours were not complaining that much about noise but, still, I am not looking for troubles. Will it be a good idea to keep the foam from the RO ignition pad and put it under the CF pad? Is it crazy? Should I just put a thin yoga mat instead to cover the noise? Thanks

Darkcore, I have a Cf and playing on long carpet can eventually crack the base. So i consructed a plywood base and painted it black. Heres the link. However i didnt paint the wooden strips but i imagine you could if you preferred the look. http://www.cobaltflux.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5042
BTW best dance pad ever |
