So.. . I look at one of the previous customer review on your product saying that the paddles are hard to press.. .? Why is that?

I recently bought one of these controllers and they work great. I have never owned an actual SCUF so I can't compare, but the paddles do not seem hard to press at all. The only problem I had with mine was that it was difficult to plug the microphone in to the controller because the motherboard inside was slightly off. I contacted the seller and he walked me through how to deal with the issue. It works fine now. Hope this helps.

The paddles aren't hard at all. It operates like a normal scuf. Really no difference in it at all.

i recently bought this product for myself and have had absolutely no issues with it at all! its an awesome controller and the customer service was amazing! They programed it just the way i wanted and it works like a charm. if you're looking for a cheap scuf alternative, this is definitely the one to get! the paddle are not hard to press, you have to press the bottom section of them to get the reaction, most likely the review you read was on from someone who thought you could press it at the top or middle, rather than the bottom. My paddles work amazing, and i put them through DAYS of playing!

The "Off" lever looks the same as in the picture, whether the switch is on or off. There is a "stop" button immediately below the green "on" button. You can't see it because it is behind the large paddle. Touching the red paddle depresses the button beneath. This is a magnetic switch, so the red paddle is sensitive. It doesn't take very much pressure; just a touch of the knee or one finger trips it off.

I can't say with certainty that the first two posts are incorrect, but they do not feel mechanical to me. The tactile feedback on them is extremely poor, and there's virtually no auditory feedback to speak of. The primary buttons (on the top) are definitely mechanical, but I really doubt the ones on the side are.

yes, the paddles are very hard to remove some times they just don't want to come out

You have to continuously press or squeeze. The quality is very good. Hope this helps.

Hopefully your first notes / drawings that are stuck on there at the moment are nothing embarassing!! :-) Make sure you push the button at the top down very firmly, it's an actual button, not touch sensitive like many other gadgets these days. Possible you got a defective unit too - nobody beats Amazon about making returns easy and fast.

I have had my machine for several years now and do not have this problem. A few times the paddles have stuck in the bottom of the baked loaf of bread, just don't ever use anything metal to get them out so you don't compromise the coating on the paddles.

It was a POS. I sent it back. It's all plastic and didn't seem like it could take much pressure. I bought a hand press (L-Press from Sur La Table) which I LOVE. It cost more but I'm not worried about it breaking.

Yes, it actaully hurt my fingers to press it. Also it's not very deep so if you have long fingers you have to press with the tips of your fingers.

Hi, It's more in the pressure it takes to click the button (switch), Most of my mouses and trackballs have hair pin buttons meaning it doesn't take much pressure or finger muscles to click. This one is pronounced, it takes more pressure which over the period of time this adds up. I would send it back if it wasn't more trouble than it was worth to do so. I got it so I could train my left hand to use it. It sits in the closet now.

I too found the coating on the paddles wore off quickly. Unfortunately it didn't completely wear off but instead left frayed edges which make it impossible to remove the paddles without tearing the hell out of the bottom of the bread with all those loose, frayed ends baked into the bread. Their quote for replacement paddles was unreasonable.

The problem I have is the playing surface is warped. The rails remain level when I check them with the bubble level. I noticed that if I leave the pool table side down for a couple of weeks the playing surface changes form. Right now it's level at the edges but has a slight hump right in the middle. It's just the cheap material the surface is made of, it would have been so much better if they had just spent an extra $20 on the surface board and maybe a little better material securing the air hockey fan.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up putting a small adhesive form pad on the button to make it easier to press. That seems to be working.

it is more difficult than the previous version of this little appliance, this is my 2nd one and the first one I had was much better made, in my opinion. But i dont really have a problem with it. if it is really that hard, maybe yours is defective and you might want to exchange it.

Probably not normal. The dhs I received looked fake. It was poorly glued together and was split from the handle all the way up. I've been playing for many years. Kept buying paddles on sale. But the best one I ever bought was Killersspin 800. Even if you don't get the super expensive ones you may find killerspin is excellent quality and well worth the money.

Make sure that the bowl is seated properly as well as the handle. There is a switch at the back, I sometimes forget to switch it on, then you will have the digital numbers come on, once that is done the paddle should turn. I know originally I had the same problem and though the item was defective, though it had been packaged badly, looked like a return. Amazon is so good about standing behind all they sell, so I did get a replacement. I love it.

I found out when using that the "quick" pushes are not as quick as one would think.I found out from someone who had it , that you push and hold a little once or twice and then the next push, you hear like a grinding sound.That is what you want to hear. I was pressing like 8times quickly(quickly as recomm)and hardly any fizz, it wasn't until hearing the grinding sound
