CUSTOM SABERCUSTOM SABER Light Saber Accessories Button Control Box Clamp Cards for Luke Light Saber, DIY Accessories to Build Custom Hilt, Hilt Decoration - 6 Pieces

I usually don’t write reviews, but I had to take the time to compliment “Custom Saber’s” customer service and also write a review for this Amazing Smooth Swing Xenopixel V2 Luke lightsaber! I was soooooo pleasantly surprised by the sound, lighting and motion features and the superb build quality of the hilt (which really has some heft and great feel to it). With the quality of build and the extra accessories provided (which even included a blade plug with functional lighting), the Custom Saber’s Smooth Swing Xenopixel V2 Lightsaber is right up there with some of the far more expensive customizable boutique lightsabers out there. After endless research, I opted for Custom Saber's Smooth Swing Xenopixel V2 Luke Lightsaber and I'm so glad I did. This is a feature packed lightsaber with exceptional quality from end to end! The Xenopixel V2 technology is truly incredible - the flawless sensitivity of the Smooth swing functions and endless sound and lighting options, blade scrolling effects, animations, blaster bolt deflection, unstable blade effects and more, are only limited by your imagination. With this Xenopixel V2 lightsaber, you can build and add a completely customizable sound and effects lightsaber font that emulates your favorite character from the mind of George Lucas. Or you could dive into your own persona and create your own for a more personalized experience. It is actually a really great replica of Luke Skywalker's “Return of the Jedi” Lightsaber. I have to add that Custom Saber even got the colors of the directional indicators on the hilt correct, with the green indicator closer to the blade, unlike a rather popular selling Luke lightsaber that shockingly got it wrong (I won’t mention the make/retailer out of respect).The advantage of this Xenopixel V2 build and technology, no doubt, is that the incredible amount of individual LEDs in the Neopixel blade can be uniquely controlled for endless different effects. This gives you way more versatility and brightness over the standard RGB and RGB-X baselit lightsabers. You get a much fuller experience with a brighter light that has a special radiance similar to what we’ve all cherished in the Star War movies.There is a bit of a learning curve because of all the features and customizable options, and perhaps, that explains why a couple of reviewers mentioned having difficulties with getting the Xenopixel V2 lightsaber to do what they wanted it to do. But in my honest opinion, along with the great demo video by “Custom Saber” and their incredible customer service and technical support (thank YOU, Lola), we were up and running in no time! I honestly don’t get the couple of complaints regarding customer service either? They were lightning quick to reply through Amazon’s messaging service, providing exceptional personalized attention to all our questions. They even forwarded me the latest sound and effects fonts update upon request and additional video demonstrations on disassembling the hilt and removing and updating the SD card. They consistently follow-up to make sure all was good and that we were completely satisfied! Incredible service!

This is the second Xenopixel I purchased from Custom Saber and I am just amazed at the quality of this product. This is one of the best Luke replicas I have ever held. I was very surprised with the amount of sound fonts it has and how great it sounds.Unboxing was very satisfying as the hilt itself was securely wrapped and snug in the box along with the xenopixel blade and accessories. The hilt came without a charge so definitely charge the hilt first before trying to turn it on. After a full charge it powers on and works great!The blade is super bright and has many different colors - all of which stand out and looks great at night! Blade is sturdy and has no dead LEDs.The hilt is light, but comfortable to hold - aside from the ignition box. The edges are pretty sharp and may be a bit discomforting.It comes with an acrylic stand which is great to show off the saber when the blade is removed.Other than that - this "lightsaber will make a fine addition to my collection!”Customer Service is great as well - This is just a bonus addition to the review, but the customer service experience I received was great. They did everything they can to answer any questions I have and also provide solutions to any problems I had with the hilt.

So at the moment I am 3 of out 5 stars. Will update a bit as I own this saber8-24-23 arrived and charging.1. The Type C charging port is very picky about which type C cord will work. I DID NOT use the short cord provided. I have 3 type C chargers for phones etc. 2 of the 3 did not work. 1 when I plugged it in the Saber announced "Charging"2. The craftsmanship is pretty nice. But the edges and gooves could have been deburred better. I am a CNC machinist I have a feel for acceptable and unacceptable finishes on parts. Even for a budget saber the edges and grooves could have had a better radius.Once charged I will make an update on functions.Honestly I thought the battery was defective due to my issues with the type C charger. Just know when you plug it in to charge, the Saber will announce it is charging.This Luke Skywalker hilt has no visible LED either. And the short Type C charging cord is a cable only no wall plug in is included. So mind that.8-25-23 updated from 3 out of 5 to 4 out of 5 stars.The controls are a bit finicky but the Saber works. Just have to spend time getting use to the controls.It is a cheaper alternative to high cost sabers on the market. But it does work. I will update again if itstops working within a time frame I feel is unreasonable.
