I kind of suspected that Kiramager was Toei's attempt at doing a show with less toys, more of a return to older times. And if thats so, I think the results of Kiramager might dissuade them in the future.

As far as I can tell the functionality of GP and SG are the same, which means I can tell you that yes, they DO have sounds... but there's a catch.

As the video demonstrates, you for instance need to press a button to cycle through which Driver you're using in the first place so the GP/SG key knows what sounds to play -- the build of the keys are a lot less complex than the DX versions so this is their workaround. Which I think most would be fine with, but the REALLY big catch here is that the button used for that is the same place where finishers would be activated -- so you can't do a finisher with the GP keys. If you try, you'll instead cycle to the transformation for another driver.

Tldr, the GP/SG keys do basically function; but only for transformation and not for finishers, and you have to cycle through to the correct driver first.

That's fine, I just want it for a Drive display and so I can push buttons.

Same, which is why I can put up with OOO's only key being that way

The other obvious difference is that the GP versions are split in half for you to assemble, leaving a seam down the middle of the key.

Pfft. Apparently I was just a little too late.
Few minutes after ordering, I got a message they had sold out and I was being refunded.

The DX Drive progrise key might drop on Amazon. I waited on the Kabuto key using CamelCamelCamel and picked it up for $13

Faiz is only $11

Yeah I'm gonna be keeping an eye out on Amazon. DX toys are weirdly priced on there, but sometimes there are good deals.

The hobby is almost over. Just one more and then you can decide if you’re skipping the V-Cinema stuff.

Huh, I might actually end up searching for a Thousandriver...
