				I've ordered sensors from UniArcade (full set) for my Arcade Pad I built... and long story short...
 
 
1) They're not very sensitive
 
2) They don't keep holds
 
 
I did read the one post... that said their sensors require a 'break in' period... however... They've been in my machine now for months... and they're still not performing...
 
 
I've modded the pad recently and it's made them a bit better... but you still can't play songs with hands.
 
 
I can't really 'mod' the pad much more... and I really don't think it's the pad... exact same setup as an arcade pad... 
 
 
So, if anyone else has bought UniArcade sensors... what's your experience with them?

				They work fine in my machine.  I had to use a folded businees card or two under each bracket. They seem to hold freezes fine.  I haven't had any complaints, but I don't have anyone that uses hands.

Did you find any break in period for them? 
 
 
I've basically done something similar to the business card mod. I'm pondering if maybe after a week or two of playing, it'll be as sensitive as it should be... |
