Not too much unlike some of the other Obi style hilts lately. Just waiting on a new pommel style or gear attachment that TCSS will hopefully carry soon. Other than that it's finally wired up and done using the version 2 driver board with a blue K2. The button is the long plunger momentary carried here and works like a charm mounted in the Graflex clamp! I also used small computer power extension quick disconnect cables for attaching the LED assembly and switch to the driver board. They're the 22 gauge wire variety and they work super well. The blade holder is the style 5 with the emitter extension ground off and holes drilled/counter drilled. For the clamp card I used a piece from an old Nintendo NES game.
I've seen comments before that the choke pieces would add too much length to the hilt and make it an inaccurate length. This one measures exactly 11 inches from tip to tail.
