BNS Metal Pad v2.53

its way different from the bns pad.. i'd return mine but i messed it up already on the second day ... i bent one of the aluminum borders already. its an ok pad if ur not a 8+ heavy footer... bns pad is more sturdy and sensors are bigger.. if i were u i'd buy the new mymybox pads for $199 (mymybox.com).. then pay the $14 for shipping... only costs about 20 bucks more than the BNS w/shipping. and the mymybox pads are the same thing as the redoctane pads... my pad is making creaking noises already too.. not a good sign.. i was trying to play the legend of max and healing vision and it doesnt respond so well to them.. still trying to get used to the footing also cause its smaller than the arcade pads. and its easier to play with socks rather than shoes.. so u can feel where ur feet are cause the middle is kinda raised..(cant feel it with shoes) so its ur call if u wanna keep it.. its good for 'ok' players... but horrible if u wanna master the game...

It is breaking and I am going to try to return it. Basically don't buy BNS they will scam you. Purchase pads from me so horny in a couple months those will rock.

I called them and explained my problem and they told me to clean off my copper circuit thing and so I did. They also without question or cost sent out an extra up/down panel and another control box. I cleaned it off really good and noticed a small piece of metal that connected two gold lines.
I scrubbed it away finished modding it and now it works awesome. I now have nothing against bluespark. Although the circuit board is smaller it makes it easier to mod, and it is very responsive. I am glad the bns people honor people with a warranty. They even suggested that I mod it and told me a normal sheet metal and duct tape mod would not void my warranty, and if I was too lazy they wouldn't mind me sending it back with the metal in. heh I still don't think you should buy from buynshop though because although helpful they don't have a problem sending the wrong product.

The last time I called BNS for information, they offered to replace my bluespark pad with the correct one and it was an accident on their part.
Fedex picked my pad up the next day and my new one will be here shortly. I sugges you contact me so horny and buy pads from him. They will be a little if any more expensive compared to the BNS and are comparable to a Cobalt flux.

I ordered a pad like the one shown in the Pic last February(2003), and they sent me a different one. My friend got the pad in the pic when he ordered the same time.

The only time he's ever gotten a pad miss from what I can tell is when he AAA'd 321 stars. He got 6 marvelouses followed by a boo, and then marveloused the rest of the song.

And mine wore out this month.

So, they do vary in what they ship, but whatever they do, seriously, mine had problems within the first week and I fixed it. Just do some maintenance on these things and they'll last.

I used t his BNS metal pad at my ddr cast party and this is the pad that turned me onto metal pads. I thought it was great, I liked how it light up. I'd like to buy a set of them with the bars, I'm just worried now that I'd not receive the same brand that I want...

I've had my BNS for over a year now and I've had no problems. Sure the arrows cracked, but the pad works perfect. You people act like it's the end of the world when one thing goes wrong.

I got the real BNS with free arcade premodded panels and it is the best pad EVAR
I haven't switched to the arcade panels yet because Ill have to snip the LED's off.

Ohh yes, just today after a month of heavy use I have noticed a decline in the sensitivity of the pad so I am going to switch to those arcade panels. They will work perfectly but I will lose the use of my LED's

Well duh, if you don't buy your pad directly from buynshop.com you're not going to get an authentic BNS pad.

Seriously, this entire thread gives BNS a bad name due to people buying ripoffs.

Question about the BNS control box. With the Xbox support, does the control box show up as a pad on Xbox Live?

We didn't buy our pads from another website. We bought them from buynshop.com and they gayed everything up. Just buy a cobalt flux. Makes life easier.

TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY? IS THE BLUESPARKS PAD MODDABLE? ARE THEY GOOD? I JUST WANT A QUICK ANSWER.

Hey, the pad's still okay... not sure if it's a 2.53 though. However, the mass of duct tape that made it work better (

) has started to lose it's effect, and I plan on getting replacement arrows.

Any idea how to do this? I really want to get new arrows for this thing.

Since I'm an idiot who photobuckets too much stuff and I'd love an ID for my pad, here's a picture.
