    Unless you plan on holding the button down all of the time, I would suggest getting a latching switch.

    There is a simple math formula for Saber names.-----------------------To check out the sound fonts I've made:

    I'd say it's safe to assume he has a sound board, since he has a speaker listed in there. Momentary might be the right switch.

    I missed the speaker. I seen the buckpuck and momentary switch.
    What about a speaker mount?
    And a retainer clip for the pommel insert?

    I'm cheap. PVC works well as mount. I probably should have included that... Oh, and I am using a soundboard.

    Might use a retainer clip, or an O-ring. I'll take a look.

    You can also bend a paper clip into a circle and use that as a retaining clip if you're feeling cheap. (Or if you just can't be bothered to find the right sized O-ring)

    Which sound board are you using? Depending on your sound solution, you may not need the buckpuck.

    I'm using a Hasbro Economy board. So, yeah, I'll need a Buck Puck.

    Thanks though! I really don't want to forget anything. Oh, and that paperclip idea might work too.

    I use a regular resistor with my '10 hasbro board.

    Do you use AAs or AAAs? And how much life do you get out of them?

    I also have a transistor.

    I use a puck with mine. Just remember, it's a bit different than using a resistor. The wiring doesn't quite match up with the diagrams.
