FAQ
About Custom Saver
Are there any precautions to take when using this product?
Custom lightsabers are safe toys that can be enjoyed for a long time if you follow the instructions and precautions for use carefully.
When using for the first time, please check the following page and use it safely and correctly.
Precautions for use
Can it be used in sword fighting (battle)?
The blades of our custom sabers are made of polycarbonate (reinforced plastic) material, so they can be used in sword fighting. Polycarbonate is said to be 200 times stronger than glass and 50 times stronger than acrylic, so it will not break unless it is hit with a considerable amount of force.
Spare Blade: Polycarbonate Blade for Custom Lightsaber
When participating in sword fighting, we recommend wearing protective gear to prevent injury.
Please take appropriate safety precautions such as gloves, body armor, face masks and helmets.
Furthermore, our company will not be held responsible for any injuries resulting from sword fighting or chambara.
*Damage or loss of the blade, hilt, or other accessories due to sword fighting is not covered by the warranty.
What is a Neopixel Lightsaber?
The NeoPixel lighting method refers to a model that is illuminated by an LED installed inside the blade, as opposed to the in-hilt type models that have had LEDs built into the hilt until now.
This allows the entire blade to be uniformly illuminated, and also allows for realistic blade effects, such as igniting the lightsaber from the base to the tip, or melting, stabs, and dragging, where only the tip of the blade glows a different color, all of which are possible only with NeoPixels.
A list of NeoPixel model lightsabers can be found below.
What are the features of the NeoPixel and Inhilt LED models?
The NeoPixel model is equipped with LEDs on the blade side, which emits bright, even light from the base to the tip.
The lighting pattern is controlled by the LED installed inside the blade, making it possible to create complex blade effects.
On the other hand, the downside is that the battery consumption is rapid. If you are using the NeoPixel model for more than 30 minutes continuously, we recommend replacing the battery with a spare battery.
The built-in LED model has an LED mounted on the hilt like a flashlight.
The brightness near the base of the blade is comparable to the NeoPixel model, but the light intensity decreases as you get closer to the tip of the blade (the light becomes uneven).
Compared to the Neo Pixel model, the lighting method is simpler, but it is affordable and the blade is light, making it easy to use in battle and suitable for long-term use.
How long does it take to fully charge?
It takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge an empty battery, depending on the power source, cable, and charger specifications.
In particular, NeoPixel model lightsabers consume a lot of battery power and need to be charged after about 30 minutes of continuous use.
If your model supports charging with a removable battery, you can rotate the battery with a spare battery for continuous use.

Please provide a configuration file for Proffieboard.
For Proffieboard models, the configuration file is saved on an SD card before delivery.
I want to know the number of fonts (sound sources) registered
The Inhilt LED class comes with 12 types of sound sources , the XenoPixel (XENO3) class comes with approximately 40 types of sound sources, and the Proffieboard class comes with approximately 25 types of sound sources.
* Information current as of December 2023. Contents may change depending on shipping date.
Do Proffieboard models require initial setup?
The device is already configured when it is sent to you, so no initial setup is required on your part.
It is said that even among custom saver boards, the initial setup and setting changes are difficult, but we send you one that is already configured, so you can enjoy the latest functions as soon as it arrives.
Please refer to the following page for instructions on how to use it.

I want a saver that is as loud as possible.
Generally speaking, the larger the speaker size, the more powerful the sound you can enjoy.
We recommend a model equipped with 28mm speakers.
I would like the motion ON/OFF function (or some of the functions) to be disabled before shipping.
If you fill in the comments section when ordering, we will do our best to accommodate your request.

Regarding Troubles
Can I repair a custom lightsaber?
We provide repair and maintenance services for products purchased at our store (or from us).
For repair inquiries, please contact us via the following page.
Custom Lightsaber Repair | SYBERSABERS *Please be sure to contact us before shipping.
Is there a way to reset the saver on the Proffieboard to its factory settings?
You can restore the board to its factory settings by re-writing it with the Config (.h) file saved on the SD card.
Please note that all current settings will be overwritten.
I lost the wrench used to secure the blade.
The screws (wrenches) used to secure the blades of custom lightsabers often use M3 or M4 screw standards.
After not using it for a while, it stopped turning on.
The battery may be dead (low voltage of the lithium-ion battery).
In many cases, the problem can be solved by charging continuously for about two hours or by replacing the battery with a spare battery.
Most savers have a sleep (power saving) mode that can reduce standby current, but it is not possible to reduce standby current to zero.
Remove the batteries when not using the device for a long period of time. If the device is equipped with a kill switch, you can reduce standby current consumption by turning off the kill switch.

I haven't received my order confirmation email.
At SYBER SABERS, an automatic email will be sent to you after you purchase a product.
- Order confirmation email
- Shipping completion email
There are several possible reasons why you may not be able to receive these emails, so we will introduce solutions for each case.
1. Cases where emails are not delivered to carrier email addresses (emails sent to mobile phones)
Recently, there have been many cases of carrier email addresses. Carrier email addresses may be set up so that they do not receive emails from any other company, or may be set up to exclude all free emails such as Gmail. In such cases, emails may not reach the recipient, and may not be found even if you search for them in the spam folder. Customers who use carrier email should check their receiving settings and allow emails from the email address (info@sybersabers.com) sent by the shop.
2. Cases where the email is treated as spam
If the email contains keywords that are common in spam, or if the server used to send the email is used to send other spam, the email client software may determine that the email is spam. In this case, the email has been received, but it may have been sorted into the spam folder or a similar folder.
3. Cases where there is an error in the email address
This can happen if you make a typing error when entering your customer information or if you enter an unused email address. If there is an error in your email address, please let us know the correct email address on the "Contact Us" page. We will resend the order confirmation email to that address.
If you still have any problems, please contact us anytime via email or Instagram and we will review your order.
