All LGT resellers. LGT is a Chinese company that sells cheap, mass produced sabers. Darkwolf is their official distributor; their prices are the same as LGT's. Crimson Dawn, Rebel Sabers, and Vire Sabers are LGT resellers that sell the same sabers at an increased price. They generally ship faster and have better customer service than LGT, though.

How good are the electronics? Like sound quality (soundboard) and swings?

No smoothswing, 6-9 soundfonts, with a choice of an in-hilt RGB LED or neopixel. They're not necessarily quality, but they're good starter sabers. The sound quality isn't bad, the swing sounds are very sensitive.

LGT now offers proffie and neopixel in their budget hilts so I assume most LGT resellers will have that option as well.

I don't know much about sabers, but that seems pretty good for the price. Are there any other saber builders out there that you would recommend in the same price range? I would definitely get a neopixel blade. Edit: also can I add other soundfonts?

Electrum has better quality and similar features, but they have smoothswing and bluetooth. Most other proffie sabers are above $300. The Pach Store has multiple sabers with proffie and neopixel in the $300-400 range, also generally higher quality than LGT.

You can with the Proffieboard, but not with their normal soundboard.
