⚠ Regarding the Kill Switch: For products equipped with a kill switch, we ship them with the switch set to the OFF position to prevent accidental activation during transit. You can enable it by setting it to the ON position. We also recommend setting it to the OFF position if you do not plan to use the saber for a long period of time.

2. About Product Accessories

The contents of the accessories vary depending on the manufacturer and the product. Please refer to each product page for details on accessories.

2.1. Blade

These are blades made of polycarbonate material. There are two types: Neopixel blades with internal LEDs and hollow in-hilt LED blades. They are also categorized by thickness: the standard 1-inch (2.54 cm wide) and the slightly thinner 7/8-inch (2.22 cm wide).

2.2. Blade Plug

This is an accessory attached to the hilt when the blade is removed. It serves to block light from protruding from the lightsaber hilt. It is also useful when displaying the saber as a decorative item.

2.3. Blade Retention Screw and Wrench

These are screws used to secure the blade (or blade plug) into the hilt. Most models use hexagonal screws that do not spoil the appearance of the hilt. They typically use M4 (approx. 4mm) or M3 (approx. 3mm) standards.

3. How to Attach the Blade

3.1. Attachment Method

There is a screw hole for blade retention near the blade opening. After inserting the blade, tighten the screw to ensure it does not fall out. In some models, part of the hilt's design functions as the retention screw.

⚠ Note: If the blade has protective caps or wrapping, please remove them before attaching the blade.

4. How to Charge

⚠ Regarding USB Power: A USB power adapter is not included; please use your own 5V/2A compatible USB power source.

4.1. Removable Battery Method

This is the most popular charging method, where the battery is removed for charging. It is compatible with power-hungry Neopixel model lightsabers, and you can achieve continuous use by rotating it with a spare battery.

⚠ Note: When reinserting the battery into the saber after charging, please be careful of the battery polarity.

4.2. Type-C Method

This charging method uses the USB Type-C connector standard, which is also used for smartphones, tablets, and computers. It is primarily implemented in NEXUS models.

For XenoPixel (XENO3) and in-hilt LED models, the device will announce "Charging" when connected to the port, and "Ready" when charging is complete.

Since Proffieboard models do not have a voice notification feature, please judge the charging status by the color of the LED near the charging port.

  • Red light → Charging
  • Green light → Charging complete

4.3. Charge Port Method

This charging method uses a 2.1mm (or 1.3mm) DC plug. It is mainly used in NEXUS models where the battery cannot be removed.

For XenoPixel (XENO3) and in-hilt LED models, the device will announce "Charging" when connected to the port, and "Ready" when charging is complete.

4.4. Type-C Method (NEXUS Integrated Chassis)

This is a similar charging method to the Type-C method, but the charging port is located on the chassis side rather than the hilt side. It is used in some of the high-end NEXUS models.

⚠ Note: Please ensure the kill switch is set to the ON position before charging.
