We curated the best sabers for dueling from Nexus Sabers. Baselit or neopixel lightsabers : your choice of blade. Whether you are a cosplayer, the occasional fighter, a member of an academy or official fencing federation. Our sabers will meet your best expectations. Our dueling range is light, easy to grip and comfortable to manipulate.
The sabers are equipped with Xeno3 or Proffie boards. And if this doesn't make any sense toyou, we got you covered : all our sabers are well explained, in layman's terms, with a chart helping you differentiate the different saber techs. We're committed to help you find your sabers and we're absolutely sure you'll love it!
Many lightsabers in this category use the Nexus VHC threading standard, which accommodates compatible accessories you will find on our catalog. The VHC thread also allows to share parts between sabers, a great way to build very unique sabers with parts in your collection.
Let us help you compare the different types of sabers so you can choose the best :)
Understanding the difference
MODELS and installed board
What's the difference ?
STANDARD Xeno3 Baselit
Standard and Premium sabers have Xeno3 boards.
In baselit you get the amazing functionalities of Xeno3 but with a baselit blade that's lightweight and super strong, made for dueling.
Some functions of Xeno3 cannot work with baselit blades as they are made for neopixel.
PREMIUM Xeno3 Neopixel
MOST POPULAR
Standard and Premium sabers have Xeno3 boards.
With the neopixel blade you will enjoy 100% of the amazing funxctionalities of Xeno3.
The neopixel blade with high density LED is so much brighter and more consistent than baselit.
This is what most people and collectors choose.
DELUXE Proffie v2.2 Neopixel
The weapon of the coding experts! Customization is king here : add and create sounds and blade styles.
Possibilities are endless for you to make your very own unique lightsaber. Your saber is delivered with a fresh install (for a one button setup), some basic soundfonts and presets and then the rest is up to you.
Beware there's a little learning curve, but there's a big community out here to help you if needed ;)

Upon receiving your lightsaber be sure to IMMEDIATELY check it out thoroughly. The electronics are covered by a 1 year warranty but the dueling usage of the sabers make it impossible to provide warranty for a defect of the blade after your start using it. So be sure to check the quality of all the elements when you receive them.
