Lightsabers
What is a saber configuration?
A saber configuration refers to the specific electronic setup within a custom saber. Currently, we provide three configurations: RGB/Baselit, Xenopixel V3, and Proffie.
Proffie Saber: This configuration is powered by the ProffieBoard v2.2 soundboard. Known for its immense customization potential, the ProffieBoard v2.2 is an open-source solution that allows extensive programming for personalized features and effects.
Xenopixel v3: The Xenopixel v3 configuration is an advanced option for custom sabers. It combines high performance with enhanced customization capabilities. Xenopixel v3 offers a rich array of sound fonts and lighting effects, providing a dynamic and immersive saber experience. This configuration is designed to be user-friendly while still allowing for detailed personalization, making it an excellent choice for enthusiasts who want both versatility and ease of use.
RGB/Baselit Saber: The RGB/Baselit configuration features an RGB LED within the blade, providing bright and vibrant colors. This setup offers a straightforward, user-friendly experience with multiple color options and basic sound effects. It is an ideal choice for those who want a visually striking saber without the need for extensive programming or customization.
What materials are used for the saber?
The hilt of our sabers is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring both durability and a lightweight feel. The blade is made from polycarbonate, a material renowned for its high impact resistance, making it ideal for intense dueling.
