You can probably cut out cardboard and make it thick enough so that when you put it under the X, O, Triangle, and Square buttons that they'll be raised up.

Hey guys. I just bought a CF and after it came I realized that my smartjoy would not work for it. I just received my parallel adapter in the mail, instealed NTXpad 2.01 and tried to use the pad that is now installed in stepmania. The thing is, i go to map buttons and the pad freaks out and can only assign joy 1 12 and joy NR-up, and they sorta flash on and off, and set themselves very quickly. It looks like the pad is overly sensative for those two buttons. I cant seem to assign any other buttons on the pad...and I did press up + start and select for 3 seconds to see if it made a difference, and it doesnt. Anyone know what could be up with it? Any solutions?

Loosen or tighten the screws on your CF.

I tried both. It only picks up Joy ZR-Up and Joy 1 12 and I cant even tell which button either one of those is. No other arrow or button will work on the pad at all.

Have you tried emailing CF or going on their forums as well.

I'm sorry I'm not that great of a help...

Does anyone know if I can just buy the CF decals to replace any broken arrows on any other metal pads or do the CF decals only work for CF pads?

So long as they fit the size required, I imagine they'd work on anything, since they're just 2 pieces of (lexan, plexiglass, whatever it is they use) and the pictures..

Are they bigger or smaller than any of the other pads' arrows?

im with |cey. I also want to know if it would be fine to play with shoes on these

To Icey and the guy below him:

I would wholeheartedly recommend the Cobalt Flux pad. I weigh 230 lbs., and I always play in shoes. I also play up to 10's. My pad and control box are 15 months old, and yet I can still AA So Deep Heavy and SDG many 7's and below.

anybody know if a CF would have less vibration for my poor downstairs neighbors than my RO ignition pad?
