Title: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Lord Canterbury on May 07, 2015, 10:10:09 PM Hey Everyone,
This started as a discussion in the Suggestion Box thread and enough people liked the idea that I thought it was worth giving it it's own Topic to hopefully gauge interest for Emory & Co. regarding this potential option. Right now - all momentary AV switches available on UltraSabers w/ Obsidian are stainless. We were thinking it would be GREAT to have the option for Black Anodized AV Switches as well - particularly for use on hilts that are otherwise all Black like the Dominix, Dark Prophecy and one of the new Flamberge models. (It would also be awesome on the Chosen One CE w/ the Black Activation box - illuminated Red.) Based on the checks I've done, these appear to be readily available from a lot of electronics suppliers, so acquiring them shouldn't be an issue. It would pretty much come down to there being enough demand to make it worth stocking & offering. (Well - that is my assumption anyhow.) So there it is - if this is an option you would like UltraSabers to strongly consider making available, then let your voice be heard here! Perhaps, if there are enough replies - it will be something they consider for the future. Thanks for taking the time to read this & reply if you are interested!

Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Molina00 on May 07, 2015, 11:02:58 PM I second this motion. I upgraded a stunt Dominix V3 with sound and a black AV switch, and the black switch looks so much better on a black hilt.
I have to agree with you on the Chosen One as well. I don't have one yet but a black switch would be perfect for it. Well, I guess I will third this motion then since Drahcir beat me to it. Title: Re: Post by: knx cobra on May 07, 2015, 11:51:00 PM I would certainly go for these, and they add another entire layer of customisation to US's range
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Zren Tobas on May 08, 2015, 01:08:04 AM Same here for sure. I'd just have to get an appropriate saber to match and such. You know how I am with that :P
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: JediXIX on May 08, 2015, 01:32:06 AM Thanks for suggesting this Lord Canterbury...... point for you sir :)
I would also option a black av if these were available from US..... I've now put a few in stunt sabers with m/l converters and I love them on black hilts.... here's a pic of one in a Dark Initiate v3 (http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah119/JediXIX/24F8D0B3-4A08-44E1-B761-A926F13442A0_zpsnwx62nqz.jpg) (http://s1378.photobucket.com/user/JediXIX/media/24F8D0B3-4A08-44E1-B761-A926F13442A0_zpsnwx62nqz.jpg.html) Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Lord Canterbury on May 08, 2015, 01:42:13 AM Thanks for suggesting this Lord Canterbury...... point for you sir :) I would also option a black av if these were available from US.....

That looks fantastic. I'm actually contemplating putting a latching black / illuminated red switch in my v4 Dominix stunt. Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: PabloDiablo on May 08, 2015, 02:00:12 AM I would put this on my next dark hilt
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: James Casey on May 08, 2015, 12:10:22 PM Yes, I'd definitely love to have this option - and any other colours US may want to go for! Blue and red would be great additions, if they're possible.
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Racona Nova on May 08, 2015, 12:57:38 PM I would love to have them as an option for all anodized hilts (i.e. black, Azure and Crimson hilts), too! Great suggestion, James & Lord C :D
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Locutis on May 08, 2015, 08:43:05 PM I would like this option too! I would also like stainless/black latching switches as well. Standard or AV.
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: plugsy on May 09, 2015, 07:14:16 AM Yes definitely a very good option,
Seems like a no brainer to me. :) Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Kal-El_Kenobi1138 on May 10, 2015, 07:49:05 PM Yes absolutely. I wish I had one on my flamberge
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Prowl 1701 on May 10, 2015, 09:06:24 PM I want this option! I have to get the standard switch on my all black hilts just so it will match, give me a black AV switch, Emory!!!!!!
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Lord Canterbury on May 10, 2015, 09:57:27 PM I want this option! I have to get the standard switch on my all black hilts just so it will match, give me a black AV switch, Emory!!!!!! Glad to see a lot of UltraSabers & the Forum's regulars are getting behind this! :) Food for thought, Emory! ;) Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Chuntington2013 on May 11, 2015, 06:57:15 AM AV switches in Ultrasaber have been around how long now? Why is this not a thing?!
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Choco on May 11, 2015, 07:03:35 AM I too would love to see it as an option
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Dauntless Seven on May 11, 2015, 08:53:43 AM Got my request vote as well. Thanks and the photo really helps. :)
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Dman1138 on May 11, 2015, 08:31:03 PM A black av switch would be a great option.
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Darth Logos on May 12, 2015, 02:31:37 PM Got my vote. Red and blue as well. Maybe not right now, but someday.

Colored AV switches!! WIN!!
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Headwounds on May 14, 2015, 06:20:07 PM All of those would be great. However, after seeing that green AV switch, I gotta say that I would love to see a green anodized lightsaber on offer.
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: James Casey on May 15, 2015, 12:57:58 PM Very cool, Lord C. I'd love to see more options like this.
US did experiment with green and red coloured hilts a while back as a Christmas promotion, I believe. I'd really like to have a green one some day. Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: MavRick on May 15, 2015, 08:24:26 PM Indeed ,a dark green LE hilt would look awesome! I have only seen one green hilt and it looked COOL!
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Zren Tobas on May 15, 2015, 09:17:37 PM Yeah I'd have to send in my Bellicose just for an all blue av switch set up :P Any colors would be a nice addition so my vote in for that one for sure =] US team you listening? :P
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Prowl 1701 on May 15, 2015, 09:54:39 PM Hey - check out these beauties I found today: ([url]http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag93/Lord_Canterbury/71257_zpshvzqbvuw.jpg[/url]) ([url]http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag93/Lord_Canterbury/865711338_461_zpsqdeyiawj.jpg[/url]) ^ This, this, this, this, THIS!!! The option for a black AV switch is much needed addition to the US family, I have a couple of sabers (all black hilts) that would be sent in to have black AV switches added. DS point awarded. Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: hazard502 on May 17, 2015, 10:41:50 PM Agreed with a black coloured AV switch, I would also option it on a black hilt.
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Adan Valera on May 17, 2015, 11:24:40 PM I think a black AV switch option would be awesome! You've got my vote!
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Caylem on June 24, 2015, 04:16:17 PM I'm pretty new on here but it's a great option, i would definately put one on my future Sith lightsaber!
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Sarich Belmont on June 24, 2015, 04:20:22 PM I think it would be a good idea as well. Also, in addition to this, I think giving the option of either 12mm or 16mm switches would be fantastic, available in latching or momentary.
Title: Re: Gauging Interest in Black AV Switches Post by: Groovidad on June 27, 2015, 08:00:59 AM I think it would be a good idea as well. Also, in addition to this, I think giving the option of either 12mm or 16mm switches would be fantastic, available in latching or momentary. Absolutely! The more options, the more benefit, the more US can realize in revenue! It's a win/win proposition for all involved. You know where I stand on this, Sarich. |
