Wait, waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait a minute!
you mean to tell me that Adegan Silver sabers are supposed to come with colour discs? Because I sure did NOT get any colour discs with mine!
There is a separate option for color discs it says "Adegan Silver + Color discs |

And also is it worth it to get the covertec wheel?

I'll answer your question with another question. Do you want to wear it on your belt with the blade out of it? The answer at some point will most likely be yes, unless you plan on your saber just being a pure stunt/practice saber that won't go with a costume. Example being a cheap grab bag saber to play around/practice with. There are a number of sabers now that just come with them straight up, which is nice of US even if they are only a few bucks. I think part of that being that it's just easier to put it on certain models right when they go out rather than trying to do it later. |

I am thinking of getting my first saber as a fun exercise motivator, so I'll be swinging it around.
What are some hilts that one can get a good grip on without having buttons in the way?
Can the sound be turned off while the saber is lit?
Thanks!

A good choice will be the Aeon/Dominix - light, good grip (two choke points), easy to wield. A good saber for a newcomer.
You can turn off sound, but only via the Obsidian Launcher software. There is no possibility on the saber itself to mute it.

I would suggest staying away from the shorter sabers if you are planning on using two hands unless you have small hands. Most tell you about how long they are. There are a few that are 11" or less long and might make it difficult for a two-handed grip, especially with the activation switch and if you add a covertech clip. You might also want to stay away from the ones with activation boxes as they are raised and may get in the way of your grip while spinning. I do enjoy sabers that have some sort of ridging in the grip as it makes me feel like I have traction on the grip of my saber.
As for sound being turned off on the fly, that is a no. You'd need to hook up your saber and turn it down/off. The only other way to quickly do sound on the fly would be to buy a solid pommel and swap it out. With a capped end, the saber will make virtually no noise. When I cup my hand over the vents on the end of my saber I hear practically nothing.

Krace is right about muting the saber. The easiest way is to stuff the pommel with paper towel or a squished in ziplock sandwich bag. I do so when I intend on keeping things quiet during training at night. |

Another nice feature about US items is that most of the sabers are MHS compatible. So even in the future if you get more sabers(you probably will, they're an addiction) and they sound and a vented pommel, if you get just one pommel that is MHS compatible and is non-vented, you'll be able to use it for any saber that is MHS compatible.

What do you guys think is a better stunt saber for beginners; the aeon v3 or the liberater v3.

Both are well-suited for beginners. If you want a more classic look, then the Prophecy models are quite good, too.

My 3rd Saber just arrived. I am really happy with this one. I should have opted with out sound so i could combat with it. It is still a story piece for sure. Ultra sabers are awesome!

Awesome Imperial:). Have an LS point. Also may I make a suggestion? The basic info on the Emerald wouldn't be out of place here.
