We know this can get confusing. We've added a special "Learn Our Tech" section on our home page that includes comparisons for our force-sensitive users who prefer reading, visuals, or videos.

In addition, on each product page you will find the specifics (and we mean the nitty-gritty specifics) of each core offered for that product.

All of our sabers can be used for 'light' dueling; this includes anything with "pixel" in the name and Eco-Baselit sabers are the best for full-contact hard dueling as there are no LEDs inside the pixel blade that can be damaged. Eco-baselit has a high-power super bright LED in the hilt which shines up an empty tube (the blade) making it less expensive to replace the blade. (note: duel at your own risk, Vader’s Sabers is not responsible for any damage or injury you may sustain while dueling)

We recommend only using a 5W (5V X 1A = 5W) charger. A suitable example is the small white USB charger previously provided with iPhones. It's crucial to avoid chargers exceeding 5W as they can damage the board, and such damage is not covered under our warranty. Always verify the specifications of your charger; specs are printed on all chargers. 5W USB chargers can be obtained on Amazon for usually less than $9.

IMPORTANT: The core must be powered on while charging with the blade not ignited. If the kill-switch is set to OFF, the saber won’t charge properly. So please make sure the switch is ON before plugging it in to charge. We can also sell you a replacement 18650 battery if you want to be able to quickly swap batteries.

Yes, but you do so at your own risk. This will void the warranty. Vader’s Sabers is not responsible for any damage to your saber after delivery. This includes, but is not limited to, coding, editing your config file, modifying the hilt itself, misuse/improper alignment of the core, damage sustained during play, or the use of 3rd party parts and batteries.

Yes, but you are responsible for shipping it back to Vader’s Sabers. We will cover the cost of the return shipping though. Please contact us via our Support page with your order number for pricing if you would like to order custom weathering on a saber you already own.

We offer weathering and leather wraps on all sabers (provided it makes sense on the saber). You can find leather wrap options on our Accessories page. We offer sound font/config file customization for a small fee. Please reach out to us via the Support page for specific pricing information. All sound fonts will need to be purchased separately for us to add to your saber.

We recommend KSith and Kyberphonic Fonts among others.
