Shoot! I totally forgot to post when I first got home. Was a heck of an end to the day.
Anyways, they look yellow to me: Imgur: The magic of the Internet
Sorry for the late pic everybody.
And when I got my package, one of the pads in my Cypher wasn’t fully seated, but it was easy to press in and it stuck plenty well. Played with it for a day until I decided to monkey snot all of my throws, and didn’t have any further issues. Just make sure you pressed them in well, everybody.
Right now the cypher is contending for my favourite throw. Everything on this yoyo feels about right, no this for that exchanges of certain qualities
Well, I’m glad you cleared that up, so that kills the hoax of the “new green pads.” It was fun while it lasted. 
The Proton is mostly blue too, so that’s why they appeared green in there.
Cypher is getting great reviews, all it needs is a YoyoExpert color scheme for the production run, and we’re cooking with gas. 
The Consistent Pad . The yellow pad is reliable in how consistent it plays as it wears down. Unlike many of the other pads that have a sweet spot once they are broken in, the yellow pad is as good when you first swap it into the yo-yo as it is just before it is worn down to the core.
Red is called the pro pad, already broken in I think. I have that in a silver Shutter.
Is white just average, gets broken down gradually with use? How about natural, what is that like?
It sounds like Cypher has great pads.
Yeah, I can’t square the yellow arc on the associated diagram with the “steady performance” of the text. The “white” and “natural” arcs appear to be much more aligned with their respective writeups.
Does anyone have any input on the yellow pads’ performance vs its writeup?
Yep, sorry to bust the mystery pack mystery pad myth. Haha.
The Cypher really is getting awesome reviews so far. I know that I’m definitely impressed. I’m also hoping they end up eventually releasing it in some sweet colorways. An Alien Galaxy Cypher would probably be an insta-buy for me.
I’d also like to see them keep the word Cypher encoded in the release engravings.
I have spare pads. I have spare bearings. I have no need for either with my Cypher. I have been using it everyday since I received it and I am very happy with it. The only fault I have with it is the same with my other favored yoyo’s and that is that the player (me) is not that good.
^ I’m enjoying mine too. By the way, YoyoFactory just posted a first look at the production Cyborg on Instagram. The engraving we have on the blue one might be limited. What do you think? I see red pads too. ;D

PSST I think spellcheck did something…
With a CT!
Gosh this could be the first time I get a duplicate throw.
Those look awesome.
I changed the bearing in mine and it is super smooth on the string, but when I do the finger test, it still has some vibe. Anyway to fix it?
Noooo… More money on yoyos 
The Cypher deserves it. Really loving it
Really nice yoyo! Picked up my Mystery Box in Prague and then Ben gave me another one. Woo hoo! One to keep, one to beat!
My only complaint is that it has a cheap feeling.
I kinda disagree. I think the encoding is something cool that puts the world pack cyphers apart from the released ones. Just my opinion, either way the cypher will be a hit
Why are you worried about vibe you can’t even notice while you’re playing with it?
Whew! Good thing you found something to complain about! We were worried there for a second.
;D
