The Dark Shock LE is simply an amazing saber hilt. It is well balanced, and the grooves on the hilt allow an exceptional grip as well. I had mine installed with the new Obsidian Soundboard that makes the hilt lighter than having a Force FX soundboard put in it. Here are some pics of this beauty!
This is the hilt compared to the Shock LE

And here is a video to check out the sound of the Obsidian Soundboard. Just a few spins, with demonstration of the Lockup sound and the clash sounds.Enjoy
All in all the overall saber quality is a solid 10/10
I would recommend this hilt to anyone looking to have that Old Republic look in their attire. Once I've assembled my costumes for both my Jedi and Sith, I'll have to post them with my sabers as well.Also my opinion regarding the Obsidian soundboard is simply this....IT'S FREAKING AMAZING! The fact that you can customize the sensitivity and eventually change sound fonts is simply incredible. I'm very pleased with this purchase and I would recommend anyone this soundboard. Whether you plan to be Sith or Jedi, this soundboard is definitely worth every penny.
The following link is to view my other saber from the pics above...Shock LE Consular Green, which I'll be shipping back for the Obsidian Soundboard as well
