    Defective box or bad pads?

    Hey , I ordered energy metal arcade pads from Amazon outlet (one of DDRGAMES CUSTOMERS) Brand new like a month ago. I cannot return them back most likely but My up arrow is replicating itself and so is the right arrow. When I tap on it once , it tends to double tap. I don't know if it's the pad itself after a month of use or if it's a defective box...


    I called DDRGAME and they said it's most likely the control unit and that buying a new one would fix it as if the senors have nothing to do with it... Is there even a way I could get new senors for my metal arcade pads and replace them? Apparently the senors are a piece of crap if they go out with'n a month or start acting up.

      I opened up to clean the pads with a eraser, put it back together as well. I would have to take pics of it when I get home. the sensors aren't attached the arrow like the ion is but they are the same type of sensor like ion

        I don't know how ion sensors are, so if you can take a picture it will be much apreciated.

          If you find yourself double-triggering taps and you're playing StepMania/OITG with a pad hooked up, you can alleviate this issue by adjusting the InputDebounce time.
