Hi there xddragonx,
I will keep you informed of how it goes, and have a chat to andkaseywaslike, sometime as he has the TX6000 and been using it for a couple of years now The older models had problems with the foot steps breaking all the time and wires being trapped, but if you go here --
http://www.futuremax.nl/product_info.php?products_id=532&MaxId=7fb9d27a54cbeab4c507fa8f4f7398e1
you will see that all these problems have gone now and you just end up with one really fantastic dance pad. I still cant beleave it, becouse everytime i think it is as fantastic as it can be, it just gets even better as the steps are loosening up and really getting to the point now of being touch sencitive, and like a guy say in anouther thread about this pad, there is no give in the steps for it to recognise a hit, so you just dance away and forget that your on a pad to begin with and just end up having so much fun
If you decide you want this pad, then get it from the site in the link as they are fantastic and the guy will really look after you
Will put a better video up soon, just wanted to show that the problems with the Bar moving all over the place is now gone and it is very solid just like the Dance Pad
cheers

Hi there
Paypal is the same anywhere in the world, but what i would do is send an email saying what you want and that you want to use Paypal, but how will the delivery work, just to make sure you dont have any hidden exspencise
It really is a great Pad and well worth the money, let me know how you get on and goodluck on your order, the company is fantastic.
cheers

Ps, I thought when i ordered mine that i might have to pay 17.5% VAT when it got here, but there was nothing to pay as everything was payed for allready hope that helps
EDIT, there email address can be found on the right of the main page in a little box |

I have a huge amount of praise I have for the TX-6000. Without the incredible sensitivity, accuracy and durability that this pad has, I wouldn't be anywhere near as good as I am now.
I've played on the pad on about 50% of the days in the last 14 months, starting at 10s and now doing 12s. I'd love to say it's still perfect (and I almost can) but recently the left arrow has started failing, but only about once a song. I'm sure it's easily fixable, but to be honest, it doesn't bother me enough to warrant me going to the effort of opening up the pad.
I imagine I will probably get a TX6500 at the end of the year, but I can't see it being a time when my TX6000 becomes completely unplayable. If I do get one, it'll be for the improved bar stability and maybe even doubles play. If it's anything like the 6000, then I'd reccommend it to anyone. _________________

Hi DeathDefier,
I really dont know, but i would look through the whole of this thread to see if there is anything , what i would do, is the one that is not working, unscrew it and then unscrew one that is working and see if they look the same, would be something as simple as a wire loose and touching or just broken.
Hi there BobTheFish,
I totally agree with you too, i just love this pad so much and i have a really big friend of mine jumping all over it yesturday and it was totally happy with no problems
mine too is becoming now so sencitive and love having the bar as i can learn songs faster then with my last dance pad with did not have one You know each morning now im waking up and the first thing i think of is dancing on it
cheers

It turns out you can completely disregard my minor complaint about the left arrow, since the problem was just a loose screw on top of the pad. _________________

Romaning2004, I got a question. How long does it to take to get a replay from FutureMax site? I e-mail them about two days ago and never got a replay (note: I live in the US, Arizona). I am thinking of e-mailing again later tonight. _________________

I sent another one today, but i also found out that there is a shipping checker in their site. i went to a converter and calculated to about 315.14 dollars for the pad and shipping! To me that's a lot of money... I wish there is an american site that sells it so i can pay less for the shipping... anyway i am deciding to get the tx4000, is it just as good as the tx6500? AND is there a difference on a v3 tx4000? cause i mailed imarket if there is any difference on a v3 or is there some other version. _________________

Nice one and no worries ^.^
This is what Peter told me, sorry it took me a while to get back to you
Hi Roman,
Thanks for your mail .. Great to hear your DancePad arrived safely and you
like it !
At the moment we are the distributor for Europe and have no shipping option
for the USA
(it will very expensive to ship it safely to USA).
We have plans though to also ship to the USA but those will not be relevant
before end of this year
Sorry to dissapoint your friend.
Regards,
Peter Meirink
FutureMax
This is for anyone else reading this post and is not from Europe Mayby in the future though so there is still a chance it can happen
cheers,
your going to love your TX4000 anyway, as these pads are so tough to anything |

if you plan on getting a tx-4000 for 10's and up i wouldn't recommends it. cause you can buy a flux or blueshark and it will last alot longer. but if your a beginner that doesn't play much go ahead. |

kinda forgot that atm flux's and bluesharks suck but these aren't that reliable either. not sure about the 6500 but the tx 4000 6000 aren't that great. |

well, i am at my peak on standard and starting on heavy, i tried probably 8 and lower but i want to work my way up to 9's and 10's and even 11's (if possible). I just got back in to DDR, (stopped for 5 years) and knowing that i get some A's on Standard i am on my way to HEAVY!.
if you say tx4000 isn't oging to last that long when i get into heave what will? the BS is getting lower quality now and the tx6500 fmax won't be coming to the US. So what is good now?
EDIT: well maybe the tx4000 but i might also try this: http://www.buynshop.com/productinfo/4991/VG-FUS-MTL01/
it looks pretty good but i have not hear anything but still the TX4000 is inmy favor now. _________________

Congrats on the pad your looking at but, try to get one that has not got any button selection behind your feet. This is the problem i had with my soft pad, when on a fast song i would allways miss becouse i hit the left button and the button behind my foot at the same time, so it not work.
It allso says this in the read me text in here chatting about pads and what to look for |
