PRODUCT INFORMATION

The Cal Kestis' crossguard lightsaber variant is finally available. Inspired from one of the Jedi: Survivor saber designs, the crossguard has become iconic. 

This Nexus new model is only available in Xeno3 neopixel and it is recommend for display or cosplay, not for dueling. It comes with a set of 2 fixed mini side blades.

The thread at the bottom of the grip (by the pommel)is VHC and can accomodate a covertec module. Due to the format of the pommel you'd need to insert the wheel module, then disassemble the 3 piece pommel, thread the bronze piece to a certain level, then insert the silver part and finally screw the pommel cap. But it does work. You can watch the video below to check it out.

Also the grip sections can be disassembled to shorten the overall length. It is a very modular piece.

Like all of our amazing sabers, this hilt is made of aluminium 6063. Every saber boasts stunning finishes on a great build with strong materials to offer either the best reproduction of a legendary design or a very comfortable and yet stylish dueling weapon.

SABER CONFIGURATIONS

Here's a simple breakdown of our available configurations. See our "Which version to choose ?" info box above for more details.

  • 🥉Standard : not available
  • 🥈Premium : it's our most wanted option! The same Xeno 3 board but with a neopixel blade. The high density LED strip in the blade allows for an amazing look and tons of visual effects. Now customizable through a mobile app and, as usual, via the SD card.
  • 🥇Deluxe : not available

DIMENSIONS
  • 📐 Dimensions of the hilt : 54.5 cm / 21.46 inches in length, weighs approx. 790g / 1.74 lbs
  • 📐 Dimensions of the blade : it's our 1 inch diameter standard, then you choose between 72, 82, 92 cm (28, 32 or 36 inches) for the length. Polycarbonate thickness is 2mm for Standard sabers and 3mm for Premium and Deluxe sabers.
  • 📏 Recommended length of your lightsaber : a lot of academies and fencing federations request that the total length of your dueling saber stays between 100 and 110cm (39.4 to 43.4 inches). The blade usually sits inside the hilt for about 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3 inches). If you mean to use your saber in an official setting, be careful and choose the appropriate size, if you don't care for this, go for the longer blade length : 36 inches / 92 cm.

 

USABILITY CHART

Key criterias for duelists is Handling and Weight, for cosplayers it is Style and ease of Maintenance, and for collectors it is mostly Style.

 

STYLE & REFINEMENT

Little to no compromises made. For a screen accurate or exquisite lightsaber design.

5/5
HANDLING COMFORT

Screen accuracy and complex design. Some parts of this hilt may feel slightly uncomfortable when dueling.

2/5
WEIGHT

This is a heavy hilt, amazing for collecting and cosplaying, not for dueling.

1/5
MAINTENANCE

Visual look is a big priority. The electronics are more complex than the average saber. Charging port is on the core but easily accessible.

2/5
XENO3 BLUETOOTH

This hilt provides good enough Bluetooth connectivity. Setting your saber parameters via the app can be done within a 3 feet range of your phone if there are no network interferences.

5/5

MAIN FUNCTIONALITIES

All of our sabers provide the following :

  • Removable polycarbonate blade
  • Unlimited blade color choice through quick access presets or full RGB color picker.
  • Volume control from 0 to 100%
  • Smooth swing : these lightsaber are very motion sensitive and the humming sound of your saber reacts very precisely to every move you make.
  • Dozens of soundfonts and blade styles loaded in and possibility to customize and add your own (sounds and colors for Xeno3, full control on Proffie)
  • Hilts are built with aluminium 6063 and CE certified
  • ON XENO3 ONLY : Bluetooth capabilities and free mobile app control. Some sabers have weak connectivity due to the thickness of the hilt, see details in production description.
BLADE SPECS
  • Baselit sabers work with a 12W LED module in the hilt. Standard blades are 1 inch in diameter, 2mm thick and made for heavy dueling.
  • Premium and Deluxe sabers have neopixel blades, with a full length high density LED strip inside. Either 1 inch diameter and 3mm thick polycarbonate or 7/8 inch in diameter and 2mm thick, see their description for more precisions. The 3mm thickness is dueling capable although we do not warrant them for heavy dueling due to the probability of breaking the LEDs circuit inside. Additional blades can be purchased, offering different width, thicknesses and length.
  • The neopixel blades give you access to tip drag effect and smooth ignitions. Blaster effects, flash-on-clash and saber lockups are also effectively much better with the neopixel blades included in Premium and Deluxe sabers.
BATTERY AND BOARDS
  • The 3000mAh and 3600mAh batteries are rechargeable and provide around 1 to 3 hours of saber usage depending if it's a baselit saber, neopixel or proffie and the kind of effects you're using.
  • Always use a 1A 5v USB charger, never charge on a dongle, hub, fast charger, computer or console. Improper charging devices and power outputs will fry your board and will not be covered by warranty.
  • Charging the battery is either directly in-hilt if the port is visible, or beneath the pommel piece, directly on the core (either remove the grip section or slide the core out)
  • Every saber comes equipped with a recharge cable.
