CUSTOM SABER Sensitive Smooth Swing Xenopixel 3.0 Light Saber, 34 Set Sound Fonts, Motion Control Light Saber, Infinite Color Changing, Customized Function, Revan Light Sabers Toy Tool

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.

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!

I love this lightsaber, it was exactly what i needed for my Halloween costume. But make no mistake, this is not a toy; it is a high quality replica for collectors ages 12 to 112. The build quality is very sturdy, it's hefty enough to know you're holding a quality lightsaber but not too heavy to use effectively in dueling. The app makes it incredibly easy to use and dial in any color and sound font combination you want. I used the green color most of the night, but turned it to the flashing rainbow setting and used it as sort of a supersized glowstick while the bands were playing at the Halloween punk show i went to. With the app you can dial in any color you want. I also love that the blade is extra long and has LED lighting all the way thru it, so when igniting or deactivating the saber you have all kinds of effects to mimic the way lightsabers ignite and deactivate onscreen. It's a wonderful replica. My only complaint is i had trouble with the ignition button, but the manufacturer assures me they are currently in the process of fixing this problem and once i understood what the issue was, i was able to do a quick DIY fix myself. The seller is extremely dedicated to customer satisfaction and offered excellent customer service to me. I cannot recommend this saber enough. Just make sure to spend the extra money and get the best electronics. Lightsabers, swords and tattoos are three things you should never go for the cheaper option with.

For what it is, this saber is hard to beat. Having purchased the neopixel version of this saber, I’m fairly satisfied especially at such a low price point. Replica quality aesthetics, fantastic light effects, literal dozens of sound fonts, and all at an affordable price. A saber that looks and operates like this will run for $300+ on other sites. The accessories you get with it, like the blade plug and stand, also make this a great purchase. Where this saber does fall short is durability. With a thin necked design and a heavier blade packed with LEDs, I could feel the emitter shaking around a little after swinging it around a while. Other smaller companies don’t tend to have this issue as much, hence a higher price due to quality. I don’t mind this as much as a neopixel isn’t meant to be duel heavy anyway, but someone who wants to do nothing but swing it around for hours and duel their friends might find themselves disappointed or worried about a broken saber. As a cosplay saber, display piece, or even just a nerdy gift, this will make any Star Wars fan feel like a kid on Christmas when they ignite this thing.

If you’re unfamiliar with the custom sabers “scene,” Saberforge is, what I’d call, the “iron standard.” They’ve been around forever, they’re relatively inexpensive, and they both look and feel pretty good in the hand. I’d never heard of this saber’s manufacturer. All I know is, it has exactly the same electronics as the saberforge eco-tier with pixel blade (I mean literally — it comes with the same instruction book, works with the same app, even has the exact same fonts installed — *everything* is identical). Where Saberforge charges $300+ for their eco-pixel, this gorgeous saber cost about half that. The hilt is chrome, perfectly accurate in size, works just as you’d want it. It comes with a stand (literally the first time I’ve ever seen that, outside the “official” collectors’ replicas — which are more plastic than metal), a unique blade plug so you can adjust the color without needing the actual blade to be inserted, and a really *really* nice allen wrench (to adjust the blade retainment screws). Not to mention the stuff you’d expect: charger, instruction booklet, extra screws, what have you. Whoever these people are, they know how to make a darn fine lightsaber! Super fun to play around with, very sturdy, just nice to look at, and the battery’s been going strong on its very first charge, all week. 10/10

I first ordered the normal saber for like $125 but had to return it as the battery was bad and if my S24 Ultra phone was more than 6" away from the saber, the Bluetooth would disconnect. So... I ordered the $225 v2 version with the better blade. It worked until I connected it to Bluetooth then it would just randomly shut itself down even if I disabled all the motion controls like twist to shut off, etc. When I'd turn the saber back on, all the app settings would be reset to default... the switch also needed adjustment because when it arrived it would not turn on. Needless to say, I returned it. I then had the THIRD saber arrive today. The battery was dead out of the gate like the others so I charged it all day long until it said "ready" when I tried to plug it in again. I turned on the saber and was very pleased. Nice and bright and seemed to work great. I didn't connect it to Bluetooth yet but wanted to show my son. I walked into his room with it twisted it in my hand and it shut off. I was like oh the "twist to turn off" must've triggered. NOPE! IT WOULD NEVER TURN ON AGAIN! TOTALLY DEAD!! Unless you can build your own electronics for this thing, I'd stay clear of buying it. Total shame as the hilt and blade seem to be of great quality. I am honestly really disappointed that I have to send this bad because it's a beautifully crafted hilt and feels amazing to hold... If the electronics had worked properly this would be a 5 STAR review. TOTAL SHAME!!!

Over all I have mainly positive things to say about this lightsaber, but a couple of cons just to be aware of that I wasn't when I purchased it. First the pros: This was my first Xenopixel lightsaber and I was in shock with how bright and realistic it was!! The different motion settings was definitely a learning curve but the app made it easier to understand( I would skip reading through the manual, the app explains it all to you under settings) all the different sounds and light effects were honestly so cool! This is what I was imagining when I was a kid with the plastic retractable lightsabers. The build of the hilt feels premium and heavy, but not too heavy. Now the cons: When I first open the box, the little screws that hold in the blade fell out and I almost lost one of them which is not a big deal but for someone who doesn't know what they are could be confuse on where they go back to ( luckily I did research before hand) Also when you do have the blade in and swing it around a few times, the blade gets looser and looser. I have to tighten them down a few times when I swing it around, a good fix would be to buy higher quality tension screws to tighten the blade. My biggest complaint with this lightsaber is the button. It's under the gold control panel. When I first moved the panel the whole button and the spring holder fell out completely, and the spring launched it self across the room, it wasn't until later I discovered it came with two adhesive dots to put under the buttons to keep them in place, but it still doesn't seem like long term fix. Final thoughts: Over all I am still pleased with this purchase, but if you plan on buying this just know the couple hiccups you will have to deal with, and honestly for the price this is definitely the best value for a xenopixel replica that I have seen .

Received the Xenopixel 2.2 today. The hilt itself is pretty awesome. Sturdy solid metal. (It is a finger print magnet. Just a heads up). Sounds are great, fonts are great. Life was pretty good for about 3 minutes. The blade does not light up. At all. It is making contact with the pins. Screws are set. I fully charged it. Made sure the bottom of the blade and the pins in the emitter were clean (Just visually inspected). Just no dice. I did reach out to the company and am waiting on a reply. From what I understand it can take them 2 business days to reply which is a bummer. I would give this a 5 star if the blade lit up. I will come back and add more if and when I get a response. 4/11/23 So the company has been in touch with me. They are working with me to figure this how out. Been in touch almost everyday. They are going to be sending me a part. Hopefully that can fix the issue. They did offer to replace it and get a whole new hilt and blade. But I wanted to see what could be done before it got to that point. I added a star cause the customer service has been consistent. If this works out and in a timely manner I will give it the 5 star. 4/14/23 Alright so good news. Turns out I had a bad "pogo pin". Which is the pins that make contact to the neopixel blade. Once again they kept in touch every day (Granted at very odd hours.) and I got the replacement part. Originally was supposed to be here Monday but got here Friday. So I did the swap. I did not know how to do it and explained that to the company and they sent me a video. So a little tinkering later and it's pretty awesome. I understand problems should not happen on purchases but they do. Company was solid. Gonna kick this up to the 5 stars. Any issues just reach out to them right away.
