It’s necessary because of all the features. A lot of thought and testing has gone into that, and aside from a secondary button (which would increase the cost too significantly) it’s either ditch a lot of the features or keep the annoying power off 5 pulse. Now, depending on what one personally wants, they may say “ditch the features”. But, this is a broad spectrum product aimed at personal customization via a budget saber.
Just bought one off amazon, I’m always overly nervous on ordering things online but this video ONE HUNDRED percent eased me that I made a good decision
A Pizza Noob well I cancelled the order off of Amazon and ordered the exact same Saber from AliExpress.com at half the price and half the shipping time! Yes it was absolutely amazing, it charges quick, sounds nice, has loads of colors, and is just overall good quality
Much better review than the others that I've found on YT. Much appreciated. I was looking for a good set of sabers to mess around with my 7 year old son and I really do think that this fits the bill. Practicing with sabers has been a great father to son bonding experience and I'm looking forward to trying these with him. I've looked at initiate sabers with shorter blades and they are still just a bit too expensive for the type of sparing that we do. We've been through many of the Hasbro sabers and even a few of the Replica SW sabers and that is not heavy-weight contact fighting.
1st off, solid review..appreciate your feedback. I was reading some of the Amazon reviews and alot of people swear by this saber being duel ready. A few stated casual dueling but not tournament dueling for the basic series, so I will be doing my own review and seeing what the true durability is. Unlike other videos out there, you actually have the saber disassembled so we all can see what the internals are looking like as well as promoting a pretty straightforward breakdown should someone decide to go the "custom hilt using these guts" route...good looking out on the peek inside. The components look pretty solid to be honest...decent wiring, the speaker is solid and the sound board isnt a dinky target light saber board, so all and all not at bad sub $110 saber!
Update. Very happy with the internals, far better than I would have expected for a "basic saber". Could their be more sounds...sure. Could the speaker be bigger...sure. But all & all very workable. You COULD gut this saber and use it in a custom hilt from the hardware store builds or other. Some scratches on the blade from basic hits, but it seems to hold up ok. I havent went berserk with it, but wacking it upside walls and chairs isnt breaking the blade so far. Very impressed. Going to try a light duel session and update again. Keep the vids coming!
Got mine in the mail a few days ago. I love it. I've completely neglected my more expensive Force FX lightsabers since I got it. The Kyber is just so much better for tricks and even more durable for dueling than the Force FX. The Force FX will now just become replicas for show, since we've beat the crap out of a couple of them already and it's not always easy to find replacement part for them. And they are nice to look at, at least. Already looking at the Grand Master dual pack for me and my little brother. You just can't beat Kyber's prices right now, ESPECIALLY for RGB. Thanks for the review, definitely helped me navigate the options on my basic right out of the box.
cody 16 well you can fight with them but tbh I’d rather not becuase j don’t wanna break it if you wanna have a really hard fight then get a plastic one
I love mine, got it a few weeks ago. Free shipping and got coupon so it was $100. Sounds really nice, good addition to my other sabers. Not as nice as my emerald saber from ultra sabers, but color changing without needing a computer is very nice, and cheaper than kyberlight.
Thank you so much for this review. I'm sold. I've been wanting to cosplay a Jedi at comic-con for a while now and this is the lightsaber I've been looking for.
I've been looking at the saver for a while now to add to my collection was never really sure but after watching your video I am now really going to consider getting the saber
I'm thinking about getting my first saber ever, and I was going to get an UltraSaber but for all these features, the price would probably give me a heart attack. I think I'll have to go with this one
@@OoWINDEXoO If you haven't already gone through with it, I would highly suggest at least going with the Kyber basic first, and then move on to someone like UltraSaber or Saber Forge down the road. I got my basic a few days ago and for the price I'm honestly impressed. I looked at a RGB saber from Saber Forge today and it was almost $800. I think Kyber could definitely stand to add some more customization and hilt options though. They would really be a competitor to the more expensive guys then.
@@rogueleader90 yeah I completely agree. I ended up getting 2 kyber soresus and joined them together, it's awesome. It's a fraction of what the others charge for all the features. I ended painting mine to customize it even more and it looks sick
@@FinalDispair I can see some clear spots in the blade, the reflective wrapping in the blade crinkles a bit, and it's getting harder to hold the button right, but after two months it's still useable.
Decided to get this as my first ever saber. For the features and price you can't complain but I have heard some bad stories about them. If all goes well I'll definitely buy from kybers again. I wish they had a cruved saber like dooku has but I'm not sure if that will happen.
I have two, a single color and a RGB, and the kids love sword fighting with them. The single color is noticeably brighter, but neither is dim. My only complaint is the one button for all features. I would have like to see a separate button from the power button for toggling features.
Is the brightness of the single color much better then the RGB sabers. Im on the fence if i should buy one or not. Could you rate them 1 to 10, in terms of there brightness and color?
hello! i'm considering buying the single color for my mom (www.amazon.com/Kybers-Lightsaber-Aluminum-Favorite-Character/dp/B07FZQ67YZ/ref=pd_cp_21_1/135-3407498-7404635?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07FZQ67YZ&pd_rd_r=784cf3c3-2439-4d8c-8f8b-d60d07acbe73&pd_rd_w=RXhcK&pd_rd_wg=5w9j1&pf_rd_p=0e5324e1-c848-4872-bbd5-5be6baedf80e&pf_rd_r=N5EVPVQH24Q28K1GWE4Q&psc=1&refRID=N5EVPVQH24Q28K1GWE4Q is this the one you were talking about?) and i want to make sure it's sturdy, bright and if she will love it! she is a hardcore star wars fan, but she doesnt have any lightsabers so shes not picky and she wont notice small details. thank u so much!
@@hazindu Your comments here have been very helpful in my research to make a purchase. Thank you. One seller on Aliexpress mentions the difference in brightness, but does not elaborate.
As others have said, This is a really great review! Extremely informative and comprehensive in features/functions and operating, so thanks for that! I already bought one of these as it just looks cool as hell for such a cheap (in comparison) lightsabre. I also like the fact that its design is original and not a "replica" which in my opinion makes it even more authentic for cosplay if you are your own original character instead of one of thousands of anakins or what ever character you like. Actually I prefer this design to the classic Skywalker blade from episode IV, cant wait to get mine :D
Not exactly an original design is based off General Rahm Kota’s saber from Force Unleashed. But I agree it’s simple design and the fact that it’s design is more abscure and not instantly recognized by a causal fan is why it appeals to me.
Ordered one of these through the Wish app about a week ago, it's on its way now. Only one color, though (blue). Can't wait to get it. I might upload a review of it once I tinker around with it.
I'd give it a 9/10 Cheap 11 colors Durable blade for intense med combat Brightness customization Sound fonts Easy to handle Flash on clash Clash hold Fast delivery from amazon
There should be three buttons on this thing, one should be a rotary dial for volume, the second should be an on/off push button, and the third should be a button to cycle through the different light features, Righty Right?
Cephalus I bought one of these from AliExpress looks just like it but it's a huge Chinese scam. It didn't come with a charger and after trying to charge it it stopped working. Just thought I'd let everyone know DO NOT buy these from AliExpress.
Yeah, definitely agree with that. Don’t get anything from AliExpress. Kybers has no affiliation with them. To get Kybers sabers, for now, go straight to Amazon. In the near future, he’s looking to start a website to offer his sabers directly (and his additional models, both higher tier and other basic/standard models he is unable to currently offer on amazon)
He wasn't talking about me. He was talking about the maker of these Sabers, but I appreciate the sentiment. As for the force FX, they are extremely heavy and not very durable. They look good, so if your interest is costuming or display, go for it. If you want to use for anything else though, this would not be the saber to get.
I took the 7/8th inch blade that it came with off and replaced it with my kyberlight blade, I used a rubber O ring and some sports tape to keep it in place so I'm sure it's not sparring capable, but I can swing it around as hard as I need to and even whack it against things and it makes the FOC activate and everything.. a little ramshackle but surprisingly decent!
I had the same one, but a month later after not using it for a few days, they stopped working, the light on the button still works and is fading in/fading out. It won't do any of the things it shows in the instructions. Any help? Thanks!
is circuit board and the activation switch already installed? (any soldering involved?) just me being curious (planning on buying one myself but doing research first)
I mine doesn’t work I try clicking the button and it doesn’t turn on or make sound I try charging and charging doesn’t work someone know what is happening?
-Lord Cephalus I am planning on creating a Sith character very soon once I have the proper funds. Wwhich hilt company do you recommend for the best red blades
On the basic, not really. On some of the models, you can swap parts between them. Also sometimes, LGT based parts will fit. But with the basics, it is pretty much what it is.
How's the brightness comparison between say a Ultrasabers with a midgrade blade? I'm in the market for a first one, and it's between this and a stunt saber from Ultrasabers. It'd be nice to have sound which makes this one appealing, but I am really wanting the best and brightest look from the blade over sound.
Possibly a long shot here, but do you know if this is the same thing, or comparable, to the LGTOY version on Alibaba or Aliexpress? I found basically the same thing for $25, I'm thinking it might be worth it just to see if it is up to par. Love the video! Thank you for helping me choose my first saber!
It is not. The Aliexpress things sometimes use the same hilt but with different electronics. If it is $25 there is a reason. At that price, it will probobly be plastic when you get it in.
Thank you for this review. I am currently trying to source PC tubing from China for this saber. Is the thickness of the blade wall about 1.5mm? That is what I am currently able to find in a 22mm diameter, which is about as close as I can get to 7/8"/22.225mm.
Darth Cephalus thanks for replying I have another question though. Should I worry if there is a slight rattle in my blade? Also the two screws on the left die of the hilt are in aligned so the screw on the left side of the emitter is farther back than the other one. Also for some reason whenever I twist the bottom back on the saber the cords get coiled up. They got so coiled once that they started coming off the white thermal paste. Should I worry about any of this or should I just enjoy my saber?
I wouldn’t recommend trying. contact the saber manufacturer and see if there is anything they can do or any directions they can give you. trying to wing it will cause more harm than good generally.
hi there!!! what about kyberlight sabers? I am about to buy my first lightsaber and I sure will welcome some advice, purpose is dueling and as a flow art weapon thanks a lot!!!
Kyberlight is a solid choice. Do a search and you'll see 4 or 5 reviews of different generations of their saber I have done over time. They cost more than something like this, but are more customizable.
if you got it on aliexpress rather than Amazon, it might be a different install even if the body looks the same. some of the cheaper ones are single color as well.
I’m gonna buy one of these but I’m wondering since I can do anakins entire choreography from the fight between him and Obi Wan and was wondering if this would be suitable for the speed of that fight
I know this may be a little late, but is the pommel and emitter detachable? I was hoping to change them out with Ultrasabers. It would look and sound like an expensive saber but for only 100 bucks.
I was thinking about starting my son (almost 7) out with something like this as an intro to better quality lightsabers. Would the 7/8 inch hold up to fighting with him?
not quite. the hilt body is the same, but the aliexpress ones are usually LGT. in my experience, they are not as bright. sound fonts are comparable, but the install is a bit different.
@@DarthCephalus cool thanks, I got it two days ago and I absolutely love it! It’s my first lightsaber, I’m gonna try and spray paint it to make it look like a temple guard hilt. I have experience painting at least
light to medium. If you want full/armored contact, you need something that will take a 1” heavy grade blade. the standard series can, the basic series can’t.
Not in my experience. I think these hold a charge better than most of my other sabers. It may depend on if you get the Kybers model or one of the other models that are out there though. They have the same shell but different installs.
$100 with audio & color changing. They are trying to beat out the competition. Bravo Kybers you will probably be getting my money
Vince Evans it’s 79$ rn on amazon
I can side that comment 😂 very good durability on the sabers and very fun I have one myself!
@@ibreakkeyboards4558 $79 for the single color saber
@Callum Inglis did you get the exact one from his link? Or di you just go to Amazon and tpe in kybersaber?
@@ninjalizzim428 its $57 on aliexpress but it takes longer to ship
This same thing at Vader’s vault would be 600
fr like the most simple hilts are $150
The 5 second power off should be just 1 second or pulse. For practical use
It’s necessary because of all the features. A lot of thought and testing has gone into that, and aside from a secondary button (which would increase the cost too significantly) it’s either ditch a lot of the features or keep the annoying power off 5 pulse.

@@DarthCephalus oh cool
Which saber can use for duel? Like kinda hit hard.
Most of the premium brands, but the most bang for the buck is an Ultrasabers Grab Bag saber. That is the cheapest and most durable entry level.
Good for dueling or should I stick to ultra saber and saber forge?
To be helpful there is 4 lightsaber amazon retailers
Would you be able to replace the blade with an ultrasabers blade?
no. The basic series uses a 7/8" blade. Ultrasabers uses a 1"
Are you going to try and get your hands on the Savi's Workshop Handcrafted sabers from Galaxy's Edge?
I would love to, but I am a bit far away to make it to the park myself. Time will tell if I can get my hands on one or not, but I plan to try.

My saber wouldn’t turn on when I accidentally plugged in a different charger. Any ideas on how to fix it?
I wonder whether you can upgrade or reprogram the board and the LED?
nope. it is all hard programmed into the board. no memory card.
Mine always flickers when charging. Anything I should do about that?
Try a different cable. That sounds like the connection is bad.

It is not. The Aliexpress things sometimes use the same hilt but with different electronics. If it is $25 there is a reason. At that price, it will probobly be plastic when you get it in.
01:52 I can See it on the right
How long is the blade compared to the standard force fx blade?
a couple inches shorter.
I would like to know how to up the volume on mine please..
Thank you for this review. I am currently trying to source PC tubing from China for this saber. Is the thickness of the blade wall about 1.5mm? That is what I am currently able to find in a 22mm diameter, which is about as close as I can get to 7/8"/22.225mm.
Why was there a piece of foam when I unscrewed the bottom of the hilt
no clue, but shhhhhh or everyone will want one.
Darth Cephalus thanks for replying I have another question though. Should I worry if there is a slight rattle in my blade? Also the two screws on the left die of the hilt are in aligned so the screw on the left side of the emitter is farther back than the other one. Also for some reason whenever I twist the bottom back on the saber the cords get coiled up. They got so coiled once that they started coming off the white thermal paste. Should I worry about any of this or should I just enjoy my saber?
The rattle isn’t in the blade it’s in the hilt. My bad
Thank you so many videos I just wanna know if I can fight with it lol
With this one, you can go medium strength dueling/ light contact. If you want heavy dueling, you need something with a 1" thick walled blade.
My saber suddenly stopped vibrating! How do I fix this!
I wouldn’t recommend trying. contact the saber manufacturer and see if there is anything they can do or any directions they can give you. trying to wing it will cause more harm than good generally.
@@DarthCephalus good news!
thanks to kybers wonderful customer service they sent me new internals for the hilt!
hi there!!! what about kyberlight sabers? I am about to buy my first lightsaber and I sure will welcome some advice, purpose is dueling and as a flow art weapon thanks a lot!!!
Kyberlight is a solid choice. Do a search and you'll see 4 or 5 reviews of different generations of their saber I have done over time. They cost more than something like this, but are more customizable.
Can you give us an update on how long the saber held up for? Is it still working? Thanks
still working today.
@@DarthCephalus no way
just ordered one and can't wait for it to arrive
@@DarthCephalus also does it work for duels?
I've tried doing flash on clash with mine but there's no flash I'm wondering if the basic series does actually include flash on clash ?
if you got it on aliexpress rather than Amazon, it might be a different install even if the body looks the same. some of the cheaper ones are single color as well.
Is the 1 second stutter tic in the sound fixed in standard model?
in the newer model it is, somewhat.
I’m gonna buy one of these but I’m wondering since I can do anakins entire choreography from the fight between him and Obi Wan and was wondering if this would be suitable for the speed of that fight
It will hold up. Just no baseball swings against a solid object.
Darth Cephalus awesome thank you
Does Upstone sell a version of this blade on Amazon with a 1" diameter blade?
The standard series use 1" blades. There is not one that looks like the basic design though.
I know this may be a little late, but is the pommel and emitter detachable? I was hoping to change them out with Ultrasabers. It would look and sound like an expensive saber but for only 100 bucks.
They are detachable but nowhere near the same size. This will fit inside an MHS saber like Ultrasabers makes.
I was thinking about starting my son (almost 7) out with something like this as an intro to better quality lightsabers. Would the 7/8 inch hold up to fighting with him?
my son puts his through the paces. it should hold up.
Darth Cephalus Hi man,great rev.just to ask you,is it posible to replace sound fonts on this saber?tnx in advanced
No. It has 3 but they are not customizable.
@@DarthCephalus tnx man wish you best :)
Do you have to charge the kybers basic once you get it because I’m asking for it for Christmas.
You should but they usually have a pretty good charge when they come in.
Hey I’ve heard that there is voices when you turn it on is that true? And can you turn it off?
Not when you turn it on. The newer board has a voice that says "charging" when you plug it in.
Do you know if you can buy kyber parts off the site to customize the upstone
Other than a couple, I don't think so.
Does it have the scrolling effect? Or does the blade just all light at once?
all at once. The scroll effect is a string blade and I don't generally recommend them.
Hi which other more shiny blade you recommend for this blade?
If you want ritzy, you could go with a Ripper Blade, just be sure to get 7/8” instead of the standard 1”
are the blades included with the saber from Amazon?
yep
Hi I just bought one on aliexpress for $60. Should the quality of the blade, sound, and light up, be similar to the one you have?
not quite. the hilt body is the same, but the aliexpress ones are usually LGT. in my experience, they are not as bright. sound fonts are comparable, but the install is a bit different.
@@DarthCephalus cool thanks, I got it two days ago and I absolutely love it! It’s my first lightsaber, I’m gonna try and spray paint it to make it look like a temple guard hilt. I have experience painting at least
I just wanna know how much beating it can take and if I can duel with it?
light to medium. If you want full/armored contact, you need something that will take a 1” heavy grade blade. the standard series can, the basic series can’t.
Is this kyber saber better than the ydd, both from amazon?
I have a comparison on my channel. I prefer the Kybers, but they are both good for a starter saber.
How long was the shipping time because I bought it the 26th and the estimated time is January 23rd - February 13th and it’s still in processing
On Amazon or elsewhere?
Darth Cephalus on Amazon i just checked and it’s still in preparing for shipment
Do these come with charger or do you need batteries?
They come with charge cables
What does saber lock up mean
It is basically a flashing setting made to look like what happens when two sabers are held together in the movies.
Does it flash to blue when clashed?
White actually
Also what is a blade lock up?
It is the flickering effect when the blades are pressed together in a lock in the films.
Ur lightsaber is silver?
the one in the video is gunmetal. they do make them in silver, but to clarify, the color not the metal.
How can i charge the lightsaber?
Charge port and the included USB cable. The switch flashes while it is charging and is lit solid when fully charged.
I heard that they don’t hold a charge for shit is that true?
Not in my experience. I think these hold a charge better than most of my other sabers. It may depend on if you get the Kybers model or one of the other models that are out there though. They have the same shell but different installs.
@@DarthCephalus thanks man I’m prob gonna order one now
will i be able to duel with others with these ?
Not really. You can do light dueling or choreography, but if you want to go full contact, these will break.
I'm not sure if I should get a basic or standard
Both are a pretty good deal. The basic is more budget, the standard is more similar to offerings from other companies.
@@DarthCephalus does the standard have better lighting that the basic?
They say it is, but I did not personally see a difference. The standard is bigger and noticeably louder though.
My kybers basic lightsaber has a different design it has a windowed emmiter.
are you sure it is kybers? I have not seen a windowed emitter.
It's the same one I have a video of it in my channel
Usually a window emiiter means it's more expensive but for this Lightsaber it isn't the case
