But did somebody tell that these have some newer system which doesn't need the box? If it is done by software, it doesn't disconnect the battery because the electronics need to have power to switch the die on. The current may be very small but not zero. If they use reed relay, then the current is zero. |

One customer left his box on all night and it was still working in the morning so I now know there is no worry the receiver will go flat after a few hours of use as long as it is fully charged. If you turn the box off and leave the dice on the battery in the dice will run down as they will continuously search for the receiver, so the dice and box must always be on at the same time. The box and dice will go into sleep mode to save power if not used while turned on but wake up when moved.

This sounds like it has only software cut off which is not the best solution as it always draws current.
I would have used reed relay or mechanical on/off switch to changes the state when the dice has been affected by magnetic or has been still for a while. It can be done with pure mechanics and with electronics. If done using mechanical switch, it would be a very clever idea. Much better than the reed relay. Anyway it needs mechanical switch to turn it completely off. If I have done this gimmick, I would have done the charging with simple wireless system like you have in phones. If you used high quality supercapacitor, this die could last for decades. There are other ways to charge (not USB) but not as reliable and convenient as wireless system. The stress you have with the power of the die is what you really do not want. I think that this die has been made with ready available transmitter and receiver and the make perhaps has not so much electronic experiene.

The wooden box is just a box.
There was no need to supply it other than it looks nice to carry the dice in.

I just happen to have 2 ungimmicked die that look exactly like the ones with Mental Dice, but are blue and green. I don’t know if the photo attached here or not.

My friend purchased this and I had the opportunity to play with it. I find the quality of the prop to be very good. The dice look very natural and is as commonly seen. It performs as it should. The props are very well designed and the quality is also very good. For the price this is a steal.
The switching 'ON' and switching 'OFF' of the dice has a set procedure which MUST be strictly followed, else the battery in the die will soon go dead. This I find to be a bit of an hassle. I wish the Dice were rechargeable thus eliminating the hassle of returning the Dice to the producer for replacement with fresh batteries. However I will wait for a rechargeable dice version as and when they are made available (if ever). But other than that, I find Mental Dice to be very well made and is much more than its asking price. Just my personal opinion please.

Fantastic explanation!
Now I won't be paranoid that I can't turn my dice/reciever off midway through my hour long shows! If both are "on", the dice battery isn't being used! Quote:

Having to replace the Dice and not be able to recharge or replace the batteries would be unacceptable to me. With my version, the battery in the Die can be replaced easily and the Die is completely examinable. Cheers!

If the dice are made rechargeable I will grab a couple of sets. Is the creator listening please?
