MyMyBox Nexen/Blueshark/etc Official Thread

[j1ng]

Just got it today. Its a really solid pad. feels like an itg machines pads. i tried to take a arrow off but it seems to be glued down or something. But it looks like it has big metal plates the size of the arrow, kinda like a CF. This is a really good pad, good sensitivity.

Have you tried a CF before? If so, how does it compare? I've been looking at this pad since it seems the bluesharks are never in (and they never responded to an email I sent 3 months ago inquiring..)
I pretty much only play at the arcade because I haven't found a pad that I didn't really dislike... I had a CF for a year and sold it, I didn't like it at all.

I've had my Blueshark now for a year. It's gone through two moves and sat out on the patio through a So Cal winter. It still works as perfectly as it did when it came out of the box. A bit squeaky, is all.

[yukihime]

Katimae, do you have a blueshark or a nexen?

I know leaving either (or any) outside here on the east coast would be disastrous!

j1ng, how are things going with the Nexen? how's the sensitivity (meaning to you have to really "stomp" or can you just kinda hit even a corner and have it register), how's the weight, does it seem durable? Any ghosting or other oddities? I'm not liking that MMB has stuck the arrow panels down. I think it's a good thing, especially dropping that much money, to be able to look inside and see what you've paid for. Sensors, are the sheet metal, foil, what?

It is one sexy looking pad, I will say that.

Looking forward to another review from you on this one after you've had it for awhile.

If you want to try to find a way to open the pad up, email MMB saying that one of the panels is having slight problems. It's not always responding when you press it. If they respond, they'll probably tell you how to open it up and fix it rather than saying "oh just ship it back we'll fix it and pay for shipping".

Is it worth holding out to see if I can get one of the 3 inch blushark models? or should I just jump in line on the 2 inch model? also does their "Send us and e-mail with your mailing info to reserve a pad in the next shipment" system actually work? or should I just buy a cobalt flux and be done with it?

is the 2 inch still a better pad than a cobalt flux? and how much better is the 3 inch? if I'm a serious player, but not tournament skill level (can clear most 10's and some 11's but never really concerned with AA let alone AAA) and my biggest concern is just that the pad can take a beating from nearly constant use and still play, and a pad that feels as close to the arcade experience as possible is my next concern, is it worth spending the extra $200 on a 2 inch blueshark? or should I just get the CF since it's cheaper and in stock?

The NexeN pads have both screws and velcro stickers in the corners holding the pads in place. I believe this is the same case as the cobalt flux.

to remove the pads, you have to take out the screws, and use a putty knife to separate the velcros in the two otuside corners and you then lift to separate the two inside velcros. just be careful with the cable in one of the corners. or you might pull them.

I planning on buying a blueshark, but the only version available here is the 2 inch version. but i would like a bar so is it possible to place a bar in the blueshark 2 inch 2008 version?

edit: ofcourse i would't mind if it was DIY

[slvrshdw]

yeah, itd be possible to add a bar yourself to the 2" version.

i would get a piece of 1/2" plywood or something and cut that the size of the base of the blueshark. then, cut holes in the blueshark for the bar to come up, and attach 2 flanges to the blueshark, but having the bar go all way down into the base.
just to be sure its strong enough..

do i have to make the holes myself?

cause i saw some guy on youtube(his name here is something with zombie or something, hes called Gotjpeg on youtube) and he had some custom made bars to in the 2" version if i believe.....

anyways, i dont wanna make a hole in my blueshark when im getting it... damn

[SML2.THV]

What I did was just take off the back plate and screw everything straight into the wood.
