Virtue Angel A1 Board

[The Tin Man]

Has anyone got any actual playing time with this board and is it that much better then stock or does it really make a difference like the virtue boards do in other markers such as the shocker? As well, how smooth is the micro switch and what is the new select-a-mode feature like on this board?

I recently bought this board and I have been playing with it for a few weeks and it is awesome. I wouldn't say that it is way better than the stock, but it enabled me to stop my gun from bouncing which was a major problem for me. The trigger pull is extremely smooth. You can feel the switch click if you pull the trigger slowly, but when you are playing and you are railing on the trigger, you don't notice it at all.
Personally, I think the select-a-mode feature is pretty awesome, although, I haven't really used it for anything except showing off to my teammates. You can actually switch the firing mode while you're playing by just tapping the scroll wheel up or down, and the LED will flash a purple light a certain number of times, indicating what mode it is now in. One flash= semi-auto up to Seven flashes=breakout mode. It's pretty simple. Of course, you can lock it in any mode you choose.
If you are looking for something that is smoother and faster than your stock, you probably won't find it. I can shoot just as fast with this board as I can with the stock, so you're not really losing or gaining anything in that department. The only drastic differences that I've noticed is not having the OLED screen, not having to worry about the refs getting my gun to bounce, and the select-a-mode, or "cheater mode" as my buddies call it, is fun to mess around with. Hope this helped :)
