Are you referring to velcro? If the panels are held in by velcro like a Cobalt Flux, the panel isn't going to crack.

I dont even know how it cracked. All I know is that the nexen's design isn't all that great. When I actually popped the arrow out, the velcro was still stuck together, only the glue peeled. I cleaned the panels and its still as responsive as before: crappy.

Well, I received my Nexen today and it is HORRID. The adapter the plugs into the 'controller port' (Is that what its called?) was wrapped up in tape, stuck in the styrofoam, completely shattered. Who packages something that they "Fully Support" like that? All thats left is the chip and some wires. It works fine, its just the safety hazard I'm worried about. There is no instruction manual, so can canyone tell me how you go back (Select button on the controller)? The packing foam was not in any arranged order at all, just threw into the box. There are two quarter size dents in the corners, just like everyone else has said. The worst part, my down arrow is doing ghost steps. I tried to take the arrow out but the velcro isn't undoing, the glue is just coming off, so I'm pretty sure I won't be able to take the arrow out without cracking it. This pad is not worth the money spent and the weeks of anticipation. I'll be trying to make phone calls tomorrow to see if I can be getting a replacement. But considering the awful things I've heard about the customer service, I doubt I'll be getting anywhere.

Wow, was that your Christmas present?
I feel really bad for you :\ Really, that doesnt make me feel good inside

I guess the nexen wasnt all it was supposed to be.

Anyways, as for me and my blueshark....

I bought a PS2 --> USB Converter from RadioShack and it is NOT supposed to be used for dance pads, of corse though, I learned that the hard way. I tried to use it but it turned out that its ALWAYS on Axis Mode. (I'm not too sure what its called, I think its 'Axis Mode'.) That means that the converter thinks that your using a controller, a D-Pad. And so- you can't hit Left and Right at the same time and cant hit Up and down at the same time, otherwise they cancel eachother out.

Now, since I don't have a PS2, or any DDR games besides Stepmania and ITGPC, I cant test out my Blueshark!

Gaaahhh!!!!111

In otherwords:

DONT BUY PS2 to USB CONVERTER'S FROM RADIOSHACK! FOR DANCE PADS, THAT IS.

Damn, I feel really bad for you too if that was your Christmas gift...seriously.
You should probably post your problems on their website and explain how awful your pad is. They usually always respond then because they don't want to get a crappier reputation.

Alright, I have just received a Nexen for Christmas and after playing it for a day, heres my review.

It came packaged well, everthing was organized fine out of the box. THere were a few small dents in the corners of the pad, but nothing serious.

Gameplay:
I dont know why, but during streams like in ITG and the 10's in DDR, the pad SUCKS at responding (it misses every 5th arrow using flat-footing).I'm hoping that this problem can be solved by breaking in the pad. My right arrow is acting funny so I'll open it up and check it out later today.

Feel:
Again, it feels kind of mushy, but possibly something that can be improved by breaking the pad in. Also, the centerp anel is really stiff, so stamina conserving feels awkward, especially in shoes.

Looks:
OMG this pad is sexy

. Very shiny and beautiful to look at, minus a few small dents in the corners.

Overall:
I can't really give this pad a rating because I've only played for an hour and a half, and most of these problems I've been having I think can be solved by getting a feel for the pad as well as breaking it in.

after 2 days of playing on my blueshark, the up arrow is giving me random misses. not often, just random misses that are clearly the pad and not me.

the screws keep on becoming loose, and so i have to screw them in after a few songs. other than that, its all its cracked up to be.

i'll post a better review after i get it running on my PC.
