Where to buy a lightsaber and what to look for?

Looking for the perfect lightsaber to complete your Jedi or Sith cosplay? Whether you're a Star Wars fan, a cosplay enthusiast or just looking for a unique piece of technology, there are several factors to consider when buying a lightsaber. For example, are you looking for a durable and reliable, high-quality lightsaber? Do you want a custom lightsaber that you can personalize and customize yourself? Or are you looking for an affordable option for novice light swordsmen, also better known as ludosport. Or are you going to use a replica saber to complete a cosplay, for example? When buying a lightsaber, it is important to consider factors such as price, quality, ease of use, purpose of use, and possibly compatibility with light swordsman organizations.


When it comes to choosing between different saber category or hilts, there are a few things you can take into account to make the best choice to find the best lightsaber shop in Europe.

  1. What will the lightsaber be used for: Think about what you are going to use the lightsaber for. For example, do you want to use it for cosplay or lightsaber fighting? If you're looking for a lightsaber for cosplay, its appearance is probably more important than how it performs during fights. However, if you are looking for a lightsaber for lightsaber fighting, you will want one that is durable and sturdy enough to use in these activities.
  2. What is a good lightsaber? Look at the quality of the lightsaber. Some vendors offer sabers that are made of cheaper materials and may not be as durable as others. If you are looking for a guaranteed high quality lightsaber that will last, KenJo Sabers is always right for you. All lightsabers are made of high-quality aluminum and feature premium electronics.

  4. What lightsaber electronics do I need: When choosing soundboard for your KenJo Saber, it is important to consider your desired application, budget, desired features, lighting type and effects.

KenJo Sabers offers Premium RGB Baselit, Standard Neopixel, Premium neopixel (Xenopixel v2), GHV3 (Golden Harvest) and Proffie 2.2 soundboards on different sabers.

Buy Neopixel lightsaber or buy Baselit lightsaber? What type of soundboard do I need?

Now that the perfect handle has been chosen, it's important to choose the soundboard that's right for you. For example, do you want to buy a baselit lightsaber or buy a neopixel lightsaber? Many lightsaber fans initially wonder what is the difference between baselit light saber and neopixel light saber, or what is the difference between xenopixel and proffie 2.2. KenJo Sabers are available with different soundboard types. Between the images for each product on our site you will find an overview of the features of the different board types. There are many similarities but also many differences between each soundboard. For example, each soundboard offers the ability to choose from different colors, so each KenJo Saber can be a Red Lightsaber, Blue Lightsaber, Green Lightsaber or whatever color of your choice. All sabers also come with different sound types so you can switch between Sith and Jedi Cosplay. A baselit saber is equipped with a hollow sword and a powerful 12 watt light, in a neopixel sword there is a super bright 50 watt led strip which allows you to show different blade styles and start up styles. Depending on the soundboard you choose, this is done through pre sets or these can be chosen yourself from a number of options or even completely customizable. You can choose from four different options: RGB Baselight, Standard Neopixel and Premium Neopixel, Proffie 2.2. These soundboards have different options and featuresn.

  • Premium RGB Baselight: is the entry-level soundboard used. The sword is illuminated by lamp in the emitter. The emitter is the upper part of the handle. This lamp shines through the hollow light transmitting blade from bottom to top. The sword blade has light amplifying foil on the inside. Also, the tip also contains special reflector layer. This together ensures a good even distribution of light over the entire sword blade.The sword blade of an RGB baselit lightsaber is therefore very light. Lighter than a Neopixel variant and therefore an RGB baselit lightsaber lends itself even better for realistic dueling. Premium RGB baselit lightsabers offer the possibility to choose from different colors and are equipped with an extra bright 12 Watt bulb. This can be done with 10 preset colors or by slowly changing colors. In this way, every color imaginable is available. In addition, the lightsaber has as many as 10 different sound types with different volumes and a silent mode. Although RGB Baselit soundboards are simpler than their high-end counterparts, they are still a popular choice among lightsaber enthusiasts just starting to explore the hobby. RGB Baselit soundboards are also an inexpensive option for those looking to buy a rigid lightsaber on a limited budget.

  • Standard Neopixel: For those looking to get a little extra out of their light saber, the Neopixel variant is a good choice. The Neopixel lightsaber is lit in a different way than the standard RGB baselit versions. In Neopixel lightsabers, a 40 or watt LED strip is incorporated into the sword blade. Thanks to this LED strip, the entire sword blade is evenly lit and not just from the bottom of the sword blade as is the case with an RGB baselit model. The light intensity of the Neopixels is thus much brighter. The colors also come out better. Because the LED strip is processed through the entire sword blade, this allows for more realistic functions. One of these functions quickly becomes apparent when lighting up the sword blade. The sword blade will in fact light up from the bottom to the top, making it seem as if the lightsaber really does extend.

    The Standard Neopixel works almost similarly to an RGB Baselit saber. It is equipped with 16 different presets. Each preset is a combination of a color, sound type and blade style. In addition, it has smooth swing and effects (flash on clash, blade lock, blaster deflect) The advantage of Standard Neopixel over RGB Baselit is the sword blade. This is equipped with a 40 watt LED strip as described above. Standard Neopixel sabers have only two sound modes. Mute and sound on. A Standard Neopixel does not include an SD card. It is not possible to change on start up styles, blade styles or sound types.

  • Premium Neopixel: Where the Standard Neopixel variant gives a more realistic look by upgrading the sword blade, the Premium Neopixel soundboard offers many more features and upgrades. This is because it has a Xenopixel v2 soundboard.

    First, compared to the RGB Baselit and Standard Neopixel, the Premium Neopixel has a much better sensor and chipset. As a result, the smooth swing function is many times better and the sound responds significantly more realistically to movement. Also, the sensitivity of the sensor is relatively easy to adjust via the computer.

    The improved electronics in a Premium Neopixel lightsaber also makes it possible to control the lightsaber through motion instead of just using the button. For example, the lightsaber can be turned on and off, its color changed, music played and sound type changed through motion.

    The Premium Neopixel soundboard has seven different blade styles. This provides the ability to have the lightsaber turned on in different styles. In addition to the different blade styles, you can also choose between 10 different ways the sword turns on. The Premium Neopixel sound board is equipped with a 16GB SD card. On this card there are more than 40 different sound types! Sounds can be added as well as background music which can be turned on by motion control.

  • Proffie 2.2: For the true lightsaber connoisseur who wants to fully customize all functions on the lightsaber we have the Proffie 2.2 Neopixel soundboard. This soundboard is known for being able to customize almost all functions to your liking. Countless startup effects, blade styles and sound and light effects can be found and downloaded on various forums. These effects are also customizable if you delve further into coding these proffie lightsabers. Those who are really handy can even record their own sounds and develop effects. Please note, however, that because the Proffie 2.2 soundboard is fully customizable this does require your own research, computer skills and time to master properly. Many tutorials can be found on Youtube and various forums.
