Planning on purchasing a Cobalt Flux...

[HIT THE KEY]

Should I go with or without arcade mod? If with, clear or black?

I bought a black arcade mod. You can really tell a difference, but it isn't much like the actual arcade at all. It does have that raised platform "feel" to it, though.

But it all depends on your preference. If you go with an arcade mod, you can always unscrew the panels outside if you like, but they will probably not be useful for PIU.

Arcade mod. I went with the clear and removed the corner + center overlays, so it kinda looks like an arcade pad. It still doesn't feel like a real arcade pad with the mod though but it's a big improvement. Doing the penny mod makes it even better.

Does your pad squeak really bad sometimes when you play? My buddy had the clear and it sounded like he was playing on a basketball court all the time. He eventually got so fed up that he put paper towels under the clear parts and the graphics to stop the noise.

I never really noticed any sqeaking. All the lexan panels on my pad are pretty worn & scuffed though, so that might be why. Or maybe it's the shoes I'm wearing (adidas superstar 2G).
