Looks awesome Sloth! can't wait for it to be dialed in with a cool video!
I found the standard sensitivity to be quite high, even for a single bladed saber.
Seriously though.... the only way this could be more epic is to have the pattern engraving

That's looking great, Sloth. Is that the B+G on the 10W LED?
That is actually only the Seoul P4 blue. I have two sets of LEDs I can swap out on plugs as I feel the need.
A bit of an update...
A better pic today in better lighting, just for grins.
My blade plugs arrived too! ARKM made me some razor blade plugs for this build. I normally would make them myself, but his new turbine plugs were too sweet to pass up.
Here it is lit,
And in the saber. I did make a couple minor modifications to the stock plugs, mostly the inside chamfer to the ring.
Left to do:
Finalize the font banks, menu sounds, volumes, swing settings, etc. ( MadCow's Bespin II currently is my favorite on this saber)
Machine some custom recharge port nuts
Install the central detach latch... thing.
Drill and tap and install one blade setscrew ( I have side B installed, need side A)
Mill out slots in the blade holder underneath the emitter can slots, so that it can be darker inside that area (as per the artwork)
Configure the blinkys and flicker settings for the blade.
Etch/paint/apply resin for grips. (depending on what the wife wants the outcome of that to be.)
Rest.
*drools* Awesome saber, awesome pics. Love it.

Oh my...
+1 on everything positive said about this project...
Stunningly amazing!
Remember, your LED will ALWAYS look brighter in pics and vids... If you're not playing with it at night, it's not gonna impress you...
This might have been suggested/denied before but have you considered getting the patterns airbrushed? I think cosmetically it would do it justice. Just my 2 cents.
Epic build by the way...
