    I'll add that, since it's a standard LGT, if someone wants to, they can always change out individual body/electronic components. There are several LGT resellers, but I'm a huge fan of Vire. I will point out that if you wanted to replace the emitter on that, you would also need to get a switch housing, because that's one of the few that has both in one piece. But yeah, LGT is awesome for customization.

    • @thefrugaljedi
      @thefrugaljedi  9 месяцев назад +2

      That is exactly correct. The emitter and unified switch body, grip and pommel can be swapped out. For this price, it's a great starter saber.

    So I just found this channel when you posted this video. I figured what the hell. I have been monkeying around with Arduino's to do my own saber and thought at this price it would get a decent one to look at and if needed cannibalize for parts. So I jumped on Temu and signed up for the app and ended up with a $25 off coupon. So ordered the saber and it costs me about $28 total. Got it today and I have to tell you that I agree with your entire assessment ... I would even go so far as to rank it a little higher since I got it for half the price you did.
    So just wanted to say thanks for the heads up on this.

    • @thefrugaljedi
      @thefrugaljedi  8 месяцев назад +1

      $28! That's what I'm talking about! In the future, I'll be adding a MicroSD card to this saber and making a tutorial called Advanced XRGB V3. Go over how to add soundfonts and music, updating firmware, turn on some hidden featues, etc. Thanks for your kind words!

    Pretty good price for what is just an LGT baselit. Love these. I still throw my pixel sabers but I feel better about doing it with these, lol. They're just easier and faster to move about, and sweet you get such good sound.
    Do think it's generally better to use two screws on the same side at different heights. That's definitely a thing they could do better with but it's serviceable. The sharp edges is not. Again, if I throw these, I don't want to be catching them on that, so I have to sand them down. That should definitely be done better. Their windowed emitters can be a bit slicey at times, too.
    Hadn't thought to look on temu, lol. Pretty dicey selection. See one that says it vibrates. 😅

    • @thefrugaljedi

    I am looking to get into learning some swings and stuff but the Aeryn is not optimal for that... its too expensive for my skill (I already broke a 130$ blade, while training) and its not a good shape for spinning...
    so I am looking for a "cheap" saber for swinging... it should be decent quality and if possible neopixel... should not cost more than 250 bucks... what should I consider buying?

      A Sabertrio as your first saber is quite the first step into sabers! Honestly I don't think you're going to find a Windu or Starkiller for $250 or less. If you're focusing on saber spins then go with a single button design. I'd recommend a saber from LGT NEXUS Xenopixel V3 for its ease of use. A good place to start looking is pluttsportions.com.

      welcome to the hobby. base lite sabers are the best for dueling. when looking at the a base lite for dueling you wants something with a deep blade depth. from shorted edge of the end of the emitter to where the blades meets the led. Pixel are great for all the animations. its okay for light dueling and spins. this issue with pixels is find the balance point. you want the balance point to be near the emitters with the blade attached. pixels blade makes the sable blade heaving mean all the weight is in pixel blade. if you are in the us i would recommend lgt bc there are a lot of resellers. i prefer crimson dawn and vire sabers. when you get into canon hilts you are jumping down major rabbit hole they get very expensive. my apologies i just saw that you were in the EU. please check out padawan outpost, they are a lgt reseller and look at Absolute Sabers channel here on youtube .good luck!

      @@Damo2698 Are you referring to this review or the SABNEO sabers? SABNEO sabers don't have expandability. For that, look at Xenopixel, SN-Pixel v4, H-Pixel, Asteria, Golden Harvest and Proffie.
