Saber arrived very promptly in the mail, ready to use. Instructions for color and sound customizations were easy, and i tweaked my advanced rgbw color settings to get the bright pink just a bit different from the bane's heart i ordered it in. it is nice and bright! i even was able to change the flash on clash sound to the yellow that i wanted.
the v2 charger is great, and the sound from the saber comes in *amazingly* clear as well.
apart from a minor rattling of a metallic part on the saber [above the grips] I am very happy with the saber; my martial arts background [although i am not that skilled] allowed me to really play around with techniques to find ways to get the sound reactive to more quick movements, and had little issues in reprogramming the sound settings to accomplish this.
i have a goal to add custom sounds for activation/retraction/clash/swing, although these plans are on hold for now. However I certainly would enjoy adding these also.
Very nice review! Look around the forum for the custom sound fonts that people have designed, there are plenty of them!
Quick question, does the rattling still sound when the blade is tightly fit in? If it stops with the blade in, it's probably the LED module (which is normal, don't worry). If it doesn't stop with the blade, it could be the top section of the Electrum Wind, which is made up of different screw on parts, so make sure the threads are well tightened. If that doesn't work, well... I'm out of ideas XD
