Awesome! I just got mine as well. Am I right in thinking that prodical son doesn't really need a kill key since it doesn't have a lit up switch? Is the sf board burning up power in idle without a lit switch light?

I'm not sure but I would think it still uses power...

Are you the Captain America shield Chris Fields? Lol

The sabercore soundboard that SF uses doesn't have a deep sleep mode so without the kill key installed it will be constantly supplying power and eventually drain the battery. There are non-lit switches available also. So regardless of whether it contains an led ring or not, it will be powered.

Yes, but is the drain so bad with something like a prodical son that has an unlit switch? .. Also.. does the recharge port and charger supply enough amps to keep the blade on while plugged in? I would assume you'd have to turn the sound all the way down or off (is that possible?) .. Thanks !

And kill keys are only included at Champion tier+, right?

I've never left the key out to know how bad the drain is.
The charger will act exactly like the kill key in a way that once installed it creates an open in the path of power to the circuit (but with the charger it recharges the batteries.. obviously) so with the charger attached, the saber cannot be turned on.

SF recently came out with a new warrior tier board, I can't recall what it is called. But it allows the same led blade flicker functions of the champion tier along with a recharge port and kill key.

The champion tier settings also offers 3 sound settings (low, high and mute) as well as 5 swing and clash sensitivity settings all of which are accessed thru an onboard menu by holding down the a/v switch until the menu activates.

Hi everyone,

May I ask you NeBosa, have SaberForge changed the number of swing/clash levels as my Champion Disciple has 9 motion levels and 9 clash level sensitivities.The blade flicker has 5 levels, 1 being a solid light and 5 being a very fast flicker.

Sorry to interrupt.

sorry. my mistake.

Thanks NeBosa,

I just thought I'd clarify, plus it gave me a reason to fire up the Bal'demnian Blade again!

Kind regards
