Unfortunately no.

How hard is it to fix the Bluesharks? For example, sensors, panels, etc. I'm strongly considering buying one soon, but worry about getting owned if something goes wrong.

Seems my friend cracked one of his panels, Dunno how the hell he did it, but he did.

I just got my blueshark GXG(the 3" one) delivered, but have some problems.

First of all they shipped it with a PS2 control box not an XBOX control box, even though I asked for the xbox one. I can't really test it because of this as I do not have a PS2... Anyone have any suggestions on what can be done?

The 2nd problem I have is the pads squeak a lot, and the do not press in as easily as I thought they should. Can someone describe how the pads are suppose to act when being pressed?

I emailed them, and they said despite the option on the ordering page, they only ship pads with PS2 control boxes. You can buy the X-Box control box separately, but they are currently sold out. You might want to consider this adapter as it has X-Box, PC and GC outputs with no lag (at least in my experience). Plus, it's only $16 with shipping.

I recently got myself a Blueshark, but have been having a strange problem o.O

Whenever I step on the bottom left panel (just a piece of wood under the metal, has no sensor it seem o.O, it registers as the down arrow. This is obviously very annoying >_< Anyone had this problem or heard of it? Any way to fix it?

Thanks!

It would either be a wiring problem (wires are missoldered, crossed, or something else), or a control box problem (control box recognizes wires incorrectly, soldering in control box is wrong). You could open your control box and see if the soldering is correct (it's probably marked by button inside). However, if it's a problem with the wiring in your BlueShark, you will have to lift up every panel (including nonstep ones) and examine the wiring. This may require that your rip up foam that is glued down. Either way, if you got your Blue Shark recently, it's under warranty, so you should give them either an email or a call, and they will probably send you a new control box to try. If that doesn't work either, they'll send you a label to print off and bring to a post office to send the mat back so they can fix/replace it.

And the reason you see nothing on the steps is because the BS has arcade sensors. It doesn't need aluminum tape on the arrows because it doesn't use a circuit board, it uses the arcade sensors, which are pressure activated. If you look under the arrows, the sensors are on the right and left side of each step and are activated when pressed down.

EDIT: Wait, bottom left?

lol, I don't know how I missed that. Well, if it's doing that the sensors must be too close to the edge or something. Lift up all the arrows and look at the sensor's positions.

At first I thought the same thing, but once I opened it, the two panels do not even touch O_________o I am so endlessly baffled, starting to wonder if there really is some sensor under the wood..

For reference, here is a picture of the bottom left panel and the down arrow panel: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v486/TS28/?action=view&current=0706072012.jpg

Problem fixed! Ended up that the sensor seemed to be a bit out of place. Either that or the piece of wood I moved slightly fixed it. Just fyi for anyone else with the problem

Well...since I'm bored, I'll use this time to give a seven-month update on my Blueshark.

Works perfectly still, though bar is sorta wobbly, it hasn't gotten worse since I first got it. So all in all, no problems. Hooray. Off to beat Delirium, which I keep on sucking at.

Apparently, they are releasing 2 new versions of the Blue Shark. A new 2-Inch with better corner and side panel supports, and a new model that uses Microswitches instead of arcade sensors.

Also, in three weeks, they'll have X-Box 360 support on all pads.

so, it's looking like mymybox finally grew a set of balls and started stepping up.
