Bug reports & end-user support for Akai's MPC Software 'controllers' including the new MPC Studio 2, the MPC Touch, MPC Renaissance & original MPC Studio and MPC StudioB lack.
Im not aware of this being a known problem with the newer MPCs 'yet'. But pad sensors are probably the least of your worries, the software running the Ren is probably going to be long abandoned before the hardware starts giving up the ghost
