Reddit mentions of KYBERS Standard Series Lightsaber Metal Hilt Light Saber with Sound Aluminum Hilt Rechargeable,Cosplay Jidi Sith Character(Soresu-RGB)

I believe that uses the same internal components as the $180 one he sells. (Link at bottom). I have the $180 version one (that I bought for $87, now priced @$96, link at bottom).

The one I bought uses a 1" blade rather than a 7/8". I prefer 1" since it's the standard for almost all sabers except a few Parks/Korbanth canon replicas and I already have a bunch of 1". There are several different sabers that all seem to use the same internals, but vary the hilt design. The price also varies by seller.

Here's my initial review and not much has changed since then. We've bashed sabers on probably a half dozen occasions since then and it's still holding up so far.

> Early thoughts on Chinese $87 (shipped) Saber - 11 color RGB with sound

>Features: Switch between 11 colors on-the-fly

>3 sound fonts (two sound really similar to me so far)

>Flash on Clash effect

>Blaster deflect sound

>Lock-up effect

>Shimmer settings (fast pulse, no pulse, heartbeat (slow from 0 to 100), flicker on/off)

>Mute Option

>Volume adjustment

>2.1mm recharge port (charged via included USB to 2.1mm cable)

>Includes a 31" diffusion-film lined blade

>My early thoughts: Initially, I'm impressed. I was looking for a very cheap saber to give to my young nephew and this so far looks like a winner. It is about 80% as loud as my Saberforge hilt installed with a 28mm premium bass from TCSS. I can't tell exactly which speaker they used, but it's somewhere between 24mm-28mm size and 8ohm 2 watts.

>Everything is controlled via the Main button. This takes getting used to. To change anything, you press and hold; it vibrates every second. Hold for three vibrations to switch colors on the fly. Hold for 2 vibrations to enter "Lock-up mode". I can't figure out how to do Deflect effect (1 vibration) and NOT do Shimmer effect (also seems to be 1 vibration). The rest works pretty well. Turning off is unfortunately 4 or 5 vibrations.

>The soundboard has about a 1/4 second delay between a sound effect playing and resuming the idle hum. Not the end of the world for my nephew, but obviously not ideal.

>The pommel seems a slightly different black; like matte black vs gloss black. It's not noticeable until you have light shining on it. I also plan to cover the hand grip area with a defcon leather wrap.

>Internals: The pommel unthreads and reveals a kill-switch and speaker. The hilt also unthreads above the button and below the LED. Everything looks locked down with generous amounts of hot glue. LED has a retention screw and the blade has four retention screws.

>Shipping: I ordered the 24th of May and received it a few hours ago. Total time from click to door was 11 days.

For the price, it's great value as long as it keeps working. The ability to switch colors is a godsend since my own saber does it, and therefore my nephew wants to change his color every couple minutes. The soundboard isn't great (that delay I mention), but hey, you're getting an RGB saber plus sound for under $100.
