    Default Another sound card option?

    I was scanning Ebay the other day and came across this toy lightsaber. I never saw them before and checked out the home page and they are wicked cheap...I thought the sound was pretty decent, it had motion, clash, and a annoying color changing upon clash. Anyone ever see one of these sabers before? I ordered one to gut it and take a look. Just wondering if anyone else has any experiece with this saber or it's electronics.

    Check it out:

    hmmm, 3.75 a piece, minimum order is 20.
    That's a lot of $$$ for some things that may or may not work.

    dunno, could be great, couuld be bad...

    only ordered 1 from ebay not 20....that would just be crazy but if they work great $75 bucks for 20 sound cards ain't bad...although $75 bucks for a TCSS sound card by Tim would be better

    My favorite part about that video is how he hits the table too hard and the saber dies.

    I got the saber at an event in the area and after my 5 yr old broke the blade I was going to give his saber sound. easy to use took it from two switches to only a latching put it in the saber all hooked up and started to play with it, that is when the problems happened. The led would not stay on after a few swings just would die out and after about a min the sound went out. Still trying to make it work. hope you have better luck.
