Cobalt Flux Dance Platform

well we could just help you out with the wiring so you dont have to repack the pad and send it to tech service, some pics would really help to solve the prob ;D

It's kinda weird how I hear all these success stories of people buying Cobalt Fluxes and cleaning them once a year and getting nonstop AAA's on 9's and 10's, yet I clean mine once a month and it gives me pad shit all the time even on 7 footers. I got screwed out of a AAA on Kind Lady due to 2 bullshit greats, 2 pad almosts, and a pad boo. Keep in mind I cleaned the pad yesterday. And yet there are people who clean their CF's once a year getting AAA's on Max 300. What is this bullshit?

Question: If I were to get a Cobalt Flux with a clear arcade mod, should I take out the metal brackets on the four corners of the center panel? Would it do any damage if I played without those on there? Judging by the online pictures it looks like the brackets would make it very hard to double-step or cheat on hands.

Yes, I already said I was getting a CF a while ago, but I couldn't get one without a bar, and blah blah it's a long story.

So I got my flux over two years ago and for the past 8 months it has been sitting in my parents house while I've been at school. Now I'm back at home for winter break and the cf has disappointed me to say the least. At first, every arrow was being ridiculously sparratic in their firings and I had to stomp on all of them for anything to even happen. I figured a good cleaning was in need and that it had just gotten a bit dusty over time. However, after I cleaned it [thoroughly] the arrows are still testy.
Despite being annoying, I can deal with the occasional misfire of the left, right and back arrows, but the top arrow misfires nearly every time I hit it making it impossible to play. The only way I can *almost* guarantee it will work is if I center my foot exactly on the arrow and stomp. I don't think there is a problem with the wiring (but then again, I don't know exactly what its supposed to look like either). Also, I don't think the screws are too tight or anything.
I'm just annoyed, deprived of my dancin, and want my damn pad to work lol.

My initial thoughts about the pad were that the arrows felt springy when you stepped on them, which isn't like the arcade at all. The metal brackets are huge and sometimes my shoe gets stuck on them. Other than that the pad works flawlessly so far, just gotta get used to playing on it more.

1. I'm in Canada. Anyone know if I'll have to pay import taxes or customs fees if I order Cobalt Fluxes? I'm going to get two, for doubles, which is already more than I can really afford, so I don't want to get smacked upside the head with a nasty surprise.

2. I play doubles. Should I get the modded pads? I can't decide. I was using two RedOctane Ignitions before (until recently, when one of the pads crapped out and was unfixable). That setup was awesome because the tactile feedback of the raised arrows let me know that I was still where I was supposed to be on the pads. I'm thinking having the raised corners / center might help with that on the Fluxes, but I'm not sure.

Thanks, everybody, for any help!

i have 2 cobalts and they work absolutely fine. the trick is to clean it often. well, more like once in 3 months or so. once you get some pad poopy, just take it apart and start cleaning it. it works fine

I have a quick question. If I buy a new Cobalt Flux with the arcade mod, can it be used to play PIU (so long as I get the pump control box)? I have a used CF I bought from someone, and it is arcade modded. However, the back two buttons (the Triangle and Square buttons) don't work, and I was wondering if this was normal if you mod it.

How long did it take for everyone after the billing got processed for it to be shipped?

I purchased a cobalt flux dance platform about 2 years ago. It worked fine, but then I stopped playing for maybe a year and a half. When I recently pulled it out, cleaned it, and plugged it in, the buttons on the pad were not registering hits. However, the two buttons on my control box are. I would really like to fix my pad. Is there anything I can do to remedy this?

Whoa whoa whoa! I just received my CF today and it doesn't come with a control box? Why the hell would it say "comes ready to use for PC"

I have to pay even more now.. -.-
