Frequently asked questions
- S-RGB doesn't have any LED strips in the blade, which makes it less expensive, more durable, and good for people who like saber dueling.
- Neopixel (SN-Pixel) is an affordable, beginner-friendly board with easy SD-card customization, using LED-strip blades for bright, customizable effects.
- Proffieboard is the high-end, open-source standard for "saber artists", offering limitless, deeply programmable effects but with a steep learning curve, also using LEDs inside the blade.
Full comparison: RGB or neopixel — which is better for dueling?
Yes. Every saber we sell is a machined aluminium hilt with a thick-walled 1" polycarbonate blade and a baselit RGB core — the LED lives in the hilt, so a hard clash cannot break the electronics. That is the combination saber clubs duel on. Hilt weight and length are in the spec line on each page.
- S-RGB allows you to cycle through 12 pre-set blade colors using the button controls.
- SN-Pixel and Proffieboard feature a super-bright 50-watt blade with LEDs allowing you to cycle through 12 main colors (Red, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, Yellow, Pink, and so on) and many shades in-between.
Yes. Our sabers advanced sensors to detect movement, allowing for gesture-based, button-free operation (e.g., twisting to ignite.) Smooth Swing technology adjusts the hum and swing sounds in real-time based on speed and force, while motion controls enable changing colors, fonts, or turning the blade on/off via gestures like throwing, pushing, or pulling.
The Neopixel and Proffieboard sabers are fully customizable. They include an SD card allowing you to add, remove, or edit sound fonts and blade styles.
