It may be that I've finally solved the mystery!
Recap: For those of us who have tried to wire a MR sound board with a relay (to allow full current to a K2 LED), it seems that any MR board other than the Mace, produces an annoying stutter effect that prevents the saber from turning on.
I recently wired up a mace board, Royal Blue K2, and a 4.8v rechargeable cell... and it stuttered!!!
So I continued experimenting and finally found that when I run 2 seperate power wires (one to the red and orange wires on the board, and one to the LED/relay) it helped. Then I made the power wire to the LED/relay much longer (looped it back and forth) it solved the problem entirely! I don't know why it works but it does!

I have not tried it with my Luke board yet.
Post your results!
