Do I need to buy new pad sensor?

My MPC1000 is almost a year old bought it brand new (so I'm assuming its the BK-N). Black version. My pads are getting dirty and shitty looking from use. Never took it apart since I have been using the 500 before I got this but do I just need to get new pads or replace the whole sensor? My velocity on the current pads are fine its just that I have VERY oily skin and I'm heavy handed (trying to correct this)
I just need pads only right?

Thanks for any help.

Have you tried cleaning the dirt off the pads? Try something like simple green to see if it cleans it up.

Maybe I should have gave more detail, its nothing I can do cleaning it, the pads are being rubbed to the core b/c of my heavy handedness

Since you said the velocity is still reading well, then you might just need the pads -- not the sensors.

Thanks, kinda figured that. I need to take better care of my machine, a little harder when you lug it around from place to place a lot though...

Thanks again though!

and, not to be rude, but have you seen a doctor for excessive oil secretion. Oil can be killer to electronics if it gets into the circuits, and they have pills that affect hormones makin you sweat less. But I would just try to clean the ads first.

Oh really? didnt know that lol...maybe I should.
you should see some of my laptops =\
I normally keep a towel on me at all times for this reason.
