How many have blue 1k with no pad problems?

Blue 1000 runnin for over 3 years and countin. No pad problems whatsoever, though I have to say I'm really gentle to my pads.

I wouldn't say i've had problems

but sometimes a pad won't trigger properly

and the sensitivity DOES suck

but these can all be worked around

had mine for 2 1/2 years, use it everyday for all my tunes and the first 2 pads are on the way out and can only be used at full level. this is really worrying due to the fact that these pads are the save/load functions.

Blue here, no problems.

when i had the 1k [blue/red], i had no pad problems whatsoever. (i had mine for a little over a year)

I copped a used blue one off of Ebay about a year ago. It was $600 with the 128 mb memory upgrade. Haven't had any problems with the pads (other than not being able to find black ones to put in, but that's just me being picky)....

I do however have problems with my stop button. I notice when I want to stop playback of the beat, I have to push it repeatedly or mash it down for the beat to finally stop. Is this something you guys experience too? Should I get a new button or what?

the sensitivity on these fuqers just sucks..

I have on eof the first's, and I have had no pad problem. hopefully never!!!
