Hey, VSAmaco, they are definitely acrylic. I've only been playing on them since last week and already a small crack is forming under the UP arrow. I'm pretty sure the polycarb ones wouldn't break so ... |

I'm sure this will be locked soon, but, since you sound like a newbie...

I cut the metal much smaller than the size of the squares. Something like 5x7Inches (not exact, I eyeballed the measurements). I see no reason to make it much bigger than the size of the copper gri ... |

The metal pad from discount-auction I received was the Metal Dancing Pad TX-1000. I googled it and found a match from another store.

I do believe that I have de-activated the axis-off code somehow. When I fail a song because this happens, I can reenter the code and the controller will work again.
Does anyone know if this is a ... |

I just got my BNS pad last night, and hopefully getting my second one tonight. So far it's pretty good, but you do need to sheet metal mod it, which is easy (I'm doing it this weekend). Since you al ... |

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the arrows are polycarbonate. I'm about 280lbs, and I was stomping (with shoes) on this pad last night, and the plastic seems very strong. And it does have little LED lights ar ... |
