Mine hasn't been shipped yet either.
Wonder when they are going to ship.

Has anyone even gotten notification of shipping yet?

I called today and they said that the pads will be arriving at their warehouse on Monday or Tuesday, then they will be sent to the packing and shipping facility, and then shipped out to us. I don't know if that is only the first shipment or all of them together though, he didn't make it that clear. I pre-ordered for the 2nd or 3rd shipment. Whatever the last shipment that cost 299 was. Hopefully since they are late, all the shipments are coming together. We should get a tracking number and shipping confirmation by mid-late next week though if the guy I talked to was correct.

are you saying that it is coming sometime next week?

MyMyBox gets the pads from the manufacturer sometime in the next week. Then we get them as soon as MyMyBox packs and ships them out to us, which they did not give me a timeframe for.

I am trying to build a blueshark style metal pad with my old metal pad.

does anyone has luck with arcade foot sensor yet?

I am still trying to find the solution and way to use these sensors. I know that this sensor works on pump it up arcade machine for sure.

I need to find a way to hold this sensor so that this sensor will not move.
Because of the panel weight, it is keep pressing the sensor.

I need help.

Get a metal bracket that goes over the sensor but doesnt quite touch it. Adjust it so it touches the sensor then you push on it. Viola. Thats how the arcade does it more or less. The arcade machine doesnt have you hit the sensor itself, but actually has you hit a metal bracket that presses down on the sensor.

Greetings,
I have lurked around here for a while, and when it comes to metal pads the two names I come up with are Red Octane and Cobalt Flux. So I ask the question, who is this comapany and what is there history. Also, everyone is going bonkers about arcade sensors on the new metal pad. Im going to ask the question what does it matter if a pad had arcade or there own set up. As long as the pad is fine tuned what would the differences be. Im not really talking exact electroncs (dont know jack about that stuff) but just curious besides the fact that you can use this upcoming pad with the arcade, what the hubbub is all about.

Its for those that play ONLY on arcade as the sensors on the outside edges of each arrow side are very different than one in the middle as a traditional pad...and no, I dont have a pic of the bracket. google image search for inside a ddr pad, youll find one

Damn that looks sweet. I hope it actually comes with a bar. Nowhere in the product description on the mymybox site does it say it has a bar, but that would be nice for sure since I <3 the bar.

I can't believe that bar doesnt even include the reinforcement brackets. Typically they are hollow and will flex. I guess I can just steal the bar from my TX5K since I won't be using it anymore

The leather wrap is nice though - I'll use that instead of the TX's foam.

will this rival the cobalt flux?
