Hi everyone!
As promised, here is my review of the Dominix LE v5!
I also got a free saber (I believe the Apprentice v4 that is arctic blue) but this review will focus solely on the Dominix LE v5.
Video updated by your friendly neighborhood, ModEnjoy this video review and also my (still developing) dueling skills.

Pros- It feels great to swing and twirl. Smooth and effortless! Weight is balanced perfectly for me.
- Grip is phenomenal! The ridges really help prevent slipping when swinging it around.
- Sounds are clear/crisp and really adds to the experience of battling.
- The fire orange is amazing and really pops in the dark. I was skeptical at first but I'm so happy I got the FoC. It really puts me into it.
- I love the emitter most of all for the aggressive appearance. However, I had to perform the claw flip because my hand kept getting caught on the sharp edges of the claws. I'm sure both are viable when dueling but I much prefer the claw flip not only because of comfort but also it just looks cooler in my opinion (adds to that aggressiveness). And, of course, thank you to For Tyeth for discovering the claw flip!
Cons (Minor Things) - The FoC sometimes will activate even though the saber doesn't hit anything. It's not a huge deal and doesn't really detract from battling but just something I noticed!
- I wish the speaker wasn't as exposed as it was but this is also not a huge deal. I'll just be careful that nothing gets into that opening.
Overall, the Dominix LE v5 is an amazing-looking saber that just feels and sounds awesome. I'm extremely pleased with my product and I'm definitely going to add to my collection in the future from Ultrasabers. I hope you all find this review helpful/enjoyable and I look forward to having future conversations with people. May the Force be with you all!
