I think its great that you posted that! Really, it probably saved me a few broken arrows! I would have been sooo dissapointed

<p>
I just bought the TX-1000 on ebay and I'm really excited to receive it. I've been worried latley, however, I made a mistake and should have bought maybe a different brand? I'm sure it will hold me over until I can get two extreme arcade metal bar-in-back type pads. Hah- even though I'm *light* a beginner- I felt I was to good for crappy mats. I won't play on them. So I'll give you guys a review on my opinion on this mat once I receive it.

Thanx a lot! Great guide!

I'll probably gonna buy a Tx-2000 this week or the next one (when the new shipment arrive). My soft my just isnt doing it anymore, i can play 95 % of the light songs and get an A or AA but when i try standard mode, i have crappy results with half of the songs, songs with triplets are the worst.

My softpad survived for 2 weeks when the left arrow broke down.. After some 6 months i got a new one (Started in May and ordered a new one in November) it was a ignition style pad but now i have this and it just works great

You only have to get used to playing with shoes..

I almost bought the tx-2000 but everyone sweared by the Cobalt Flux so I got that instead. If the tx-2000 was better I will be depressed since I could have gotten double tx-2000's for the same price as the Cobalt Flux and I have to wait to get another one (my boyfriend bought me the CF).

They haven't shipped my order yet, if I hear more good reviews I think I may cancel my CF and get the tx-2000.

I think if you already ordered one, proceed with it cause the American TX2000 from eBay seem to be very bad. I think cause they are just 2nd hand.

Since my Red Octain 2.0 Ignition pad craped out (up arrow wont work and it mis fires really pad), I'm thinking about getting one or two of these from Lik-Sang. I want to get as close to the arcade feel as possible so I figured this would be the best way to go (and I don't have enough money for a CF). I hear that their arrows crack sometimes, do you think I would need to buy an extra set of replacements? They already come with one set of them, but I just wanna make sure.

I'll also give a full review once I purchase it and have it delivered here to the states

Edit - Uhh, Nvm. Way too much shipping for me. I bought a brand new RedOctane 3.0 pad

do you get a refund if your pad breaks after short use?

not for the tx series, they are manufactured by an annonomyous company with little to no internet presence, and none of the pads are carried by any gaurentee

I already disarmed the bottom to see if the problem was that the aliminum foil was not touching the sensor anyways i know that not it.

Please email me or write back if u can help me or u can give me some helpful websites. Thanks to anyone that can help

Hey, this forums confusing at first everyone hates it and then everyone likes it

So I was gonna see if I should get this pad or go with something else
If you guys didn't know already I like to do 10s+ so is this the pad for me?
I was looking at this pad cause I just love bars

I'm trying to get parents into buying me a metal pad

dont get a TX2000 its crappy! just buy a TX-6000 its much better. also dont buy TX3000 and TX5000 because they are very unsensitive and they are totally flat so its impossible to tell where you are without looking down. either get a TX6000 or buy a Cobalt Flux and make your own bar

I have a bluespark 2006, it works fine for me, you just have to have GOOD balance, I myself have OK balance.

However, if this pad's arrows break or screw up on me, ill simply pre-order the arrow pannels, but this time I will use sheet metal or copper metal.

That is a good guide btw Jord, I will keep that in mind if something happens to my ddr pad.

See yaz bye.

In case if the arrows panels are sticky, whats the best "solution" to use, I was thinking non-stick polishing or varnish??

Any idea's?

Brendino · Trick Member Joined: 16 Jul 2005

Thnx jjang, but I was gonna see if there is any decent metal pads (even without bar lol) for pretty cheap I mean I am only like 105-110 and i don't stomp so I don't crack arrows to bad. I mean it is just for home, but I dont want a crap pad. I might be able to get my parents to buy a pad that totals up to 200 (with shipping

)

www.GameSoftinc.com has some incredible dance pads including the Tx-2000, which yes in my opinion do look extremely cheaply made, if your looking for a nice pad i reccommend the Tx-6000 hybrid, its $360 but WELL worth the money, the arrows are so sensitive you can play with one finger lol =D the bar is very sturdy too, i say if your going to shell out the money for a metal pad, you might as well make it a good one, the Tx-2000 doesnt look like it quite makes the cut

I found the TX-6000 for $189 (250 with shipping) but my parents do want to buy me it, but seriously I deserve it lol

Oh well it looks like em gonna wait till Christmas

EDIT: Could you maybe buy the TX-2000 then buy new arrows for it if you wanted?

everyines talking about how crappy the tx2000 is and to get a cobalt flux...i just watched some videos of it in action and it looks like a piece of crap. The thing SLIDES! The company did good advertising with it until they posted crappy videos. I just think that everyone who broke their TX2000s in 3 days were morbidly obese and blaming the mat instead of gravity.
