Jesus" , I've already take off the cardboard but it didnt' work with the new control box.
---> only 10 buttons reconized in Windows as " redoctane usb " and it the same with the UBS and a PS2 usb adapter . So how can you use the middle panel ?
I tried with my friend's old control box ( with the grey littre buttons on it ) and it works very well, I can play PIU without any problem. 
I will be very sad if the new control box don't allow to play PIU , I bought my CF for that !!! |

I have a question about the cobalt flux bottom contact sensors? I know the top contact sensors are sheet metal. Are the bottom contact sensors sheet metal or aluminum foil?

Sheet metal. Aluminum foil and sheet metal would be disasterous, the sheet metal would destroy the foil.

Cobalt flux uses 28 gauge galvanized steel for their sheet metal sheets. |

Cobalt flux Team answered me :
" HI
With our new control boxes the center button does not work. If you have any further questions feel free to ask.
From
CF Team "
Unbelievable , " 9 triggerable buttons " but only 8 works .... |

| if you want to play pump on your CF theres a simple fix. Take the down arrow wire that connects to the top piece of sheet metal and put it on the center panels top contact. that should work perfectly fine. |

Wow, that's surprising that you can't use the middle button with the new control box. I wouldn't have done that if I were in the control box business.

| In general, how does the CF compare to arcade pads (mostly, want to know how hard it is, and if it gives much when stepping) |

I just played at the arcade last Thursday, and I played on some arcade modded CFs last Tuesday, so here's my input:
The arcade modded CF plays very similarly to the arcade. The arcade seems a bit more precise. I think I could AAAA songs at the arcade, but I could only AAA songs on the cobalt flux (assuming I were good enough to do that). The arcade feels easier on my leg joints than the cobalt flux. There isn't a significant difference IMO, but I'd still pay to play at the arcade over playing on a CF.

Blueshark??? This is the Cobalt Flux thread. Ask about bluesharks in the blueshark thread.
They're not pieces of crap, but I can't say about their value since I only know what people have told me.
Cobalt Flux is a better value IMO.

jesus!!!!....fr3ak4ever!!
He's just asking a simple question, a comparison of both pads. we all know he should post in the BlueShark forum. Or are you those kinds of people that only like PEPSI and not COCA-COLA?
if I knew which one was better i'd say it. from my experiences with CFs, id say they aren't that good.
for starters, they don't feel that good to play on. My vans feel like they slow me down when i play on them. the only shoes that feel good when i play on the CF are old nikes that feel light because all the rubber from the soles are gone and they should be thrown away already.
on carpet, i guess you can't really stop it from moving unless you place it on a wooden board.
it's disappointing to see that their just two pieces of sheet metal that when they make contact they register as an arrow. might as well build your own pad for less than the cost of a cobalt flux? but if you're lazy get the CF, that's what i did.
i also dont have the arcade mod so it does feel worse playing without one.

darn, i wish my cobalt flux wasnt such crud, but after 6 + months of heavy play, my arrows seem to be less sensitive and give ghost steps. also my right arrow seems to come loose on its own. the only thing i's can think about doing is to drill new holes and maybe they can stay put. darn you cobalt flux.
what should i do? should i throw it away, cuz i dont plan on buying a new one, ima try out the bluesharks. theres some good user videos on youtube.
also pump sucks for CF, and the pump for PC isnt that good cuz in the arcade you can drain your life and still raise it before the song ends and still get an A. That's good for trying to learn a song. I play Crazy fool. NX, represent!!
 ----too much use of these emoticons?

I guess when you try to send a message and it says
"failed send message"
it still sends anyways.

Do you have to pay tax on a cobalt flux if you live in california? What is the best shipping for the price?

Let me know if the control box enables all 9 buttons or just the 5.
Edit: oh, well the website says that. |
Still waiting on my control boxes, emailed thrice CF so far and they are bullshitting me about sending it soon so far... quite disapointed in their customer service, it looks like they are losing points on this aspect of their business.
I mean we already know it takes months for them to ship the platforms, but now throwing two CB in a box and shipping it takes a month ?!
