Review of Red Octane's Afterburner pad. I didn't comment on this in the video but the sensors aren't like the arcade (where 4 sensors are along the sides of each arrow). This pad has a 4" square sensor in the middle...I noticed I was getting some boo's when I was hitting the edge of the pad so that prompted me to unscrew the arrow cover. If you have any questions about it I'll be glad to answer.

  • I've been getting questions from different users so I'll go ahead and post an update here.

    When I bought the pad there was a "5OFF" coupon/promotion that took 5% off. I don't know if that's still available.

    The plastic cover became shredded so I just tore it off. It was a little slick at first but that wore away. It has been working fine lately with no problems.

  • I bought the same pad and it stopped working in about two days. I really don't recommend this pad, the arrows are sunk in deep and are not good for moving around fast if you flat foot that is.

  • I did have some problems initially with it, with the serial port becoming loose but once I tightened it with the pins on the side it worked for me. I've heard mixed reviews for this pad to be honest. In the past RedOctane has sent me a defective pad but they replaced it...it was a hassle but at least it didn't cost anything out-of-pocket.

  • rest in peace my beaten up redoctane :'(

  • theres a website with some really good metal pads with or without bars..but the prices arent very cheap..even though im ordering mine from there

  • Question:

    So is this the best pad out there right now? I want to hook up a pad to my PC for Stepmania. I did some research and it looks like it boils down to the Colbalt Flux and the Afterburner.

  • dammit why there isn't any good pad with a handle bar and non-sinking breckets!?!?!

    AND WHY THEY DONT MAKE ANYMORE BLUESHARKS???why mymybox...why???

  • what was the coupon code?

  • Ohh, I decided not to send it back since I didn't want to pay the restocking fee.

  • great vid, i think this looks like a better investment than the flux.

    i think in your next vid of you playing, you should have a camera shot of your feet, so you can see how much it actually moves AROUND

  • what's the coupon code?
