Compare hilts. Pick the one.

A quick guide to the specs above.

• 01 Saber Core +
  The Saber Core is the electronics inside the hilt — the soundboard, the pixel driver, the app connectivity. It's the single biggest factor in how a hilt feels and sounds in the hand, and it's the reason two hilts that look identical can be $100 apart. Higher-tier Cores generally mean more sound fonts, sharper motion response, and on some boards, app-controlled blade colour.
• 02 Sound Fonts +
  A sound font is a matched set of ignition, hum, swing, clash, and retraction sounds — the audio personality of the hilt. More fonts pre-loaded on the SD card means more sound profiles to switch between without reprogramming anything yourself.
• 03 Pixel Count +
  Pixel blades use a continuous strip of individually addressable LEDs rather than a single fixed-colour bulb — that's what makes effects like flicker, flash-on-clash, and colour change possible along the full blade length. All three hilts in this comparison run full-strip Neopixel blades.
• 04 Duelling Grade +
  Duelling grade tells you how much contact the blade is rated for. Light-Duelling hilts are built for sparring and choreography with reasonable care; Heavy-Duelling hilts add reinforced internals for regular hard-contact use. Worth checking closely if you're planning to duel often rather than display.
• 05 Blade Colours via app +
  Most modern Saber Cores let you change the blade's RGB colour without opening the hilt — either from a companion phone app over Bluetooth, or by cycling presets with the pommel button on boards that skip app pairing. 'Infinite' means the full RGB spectrum is available, not a fixed set of preset colours.
