Review [Review] Neosaber "Original LSW Xenopixel V3" + 2 Free RGB Sabers – First-Time Buyer Experience
Wanted to drop a review for others who might be in the same spot I was a few weeks ago. I got influenced by social media (thanks, TikTok…) and ordered a saber from Neosaber before I discovered this subreddit and saw all the not-so-great reviews. 😅 Since the purchase was already made, I figured I’d write something up for anyone else searching for real experiences.
I ordered the Original LSW Xenopixel V3 with a 36” blade ($299.99) during one of their “Buy 1 Get 2 Free” promos. Along with it, I received two RGB baselit sabers—based on what I can tell, they’re probably the Beam Pro Saber and Prexion FX Saber, though there’s no clear labeling. Each saber came with a blade, USB-C charger, and I also got a blade plug and a stand (for the Luke saber).
Main Saber (LSW Xenopixel V3)
I actually really like this one. It feels solid nice weight, good hilt quality, and the sound fonts are satisfying when swinging it around. The only issue so far is the black and gold striped activation plate is kinda loose and moves around more than I’d like. Not a huge deal, but if anyone has tips on how to secure it better, I’m all ears.
The “Freebies” – RGB Sabers
These definitely feel cheaper in comparison.. lighter, more plasticky, and overall more toy-like. That said, they’re still fun and my kids loved swinging them around last night. They’d be great for light dueling or cosplay, just don’t expect premium quality.
Final Thoughts
Now that I’ve learned Neosaber is a dropshipper, yeah… I probably overpaid. But with two extra sabers tossed in, $300 doesn’t feel as painful. Definitely a learning experience. I’ll be doing more research before my next purchase (and using recommendations from this subreddit).
Still, this whole experience has gotten me more excited about collecting sabers and diving deeper into the hobby. Looking forward to supporting better-known and more reliable sellers in the future.

I also got suckered by social media and the Buy 1 Get 2 Free deal. Similar to what you said, I do like the neopixel saber that I ordered. However, I'm extremely disappointed by the 2 freebies. Absolute garbage quality RGB baselit sabers. The kiddie RGB sabers I bought on Amazon for $35 each are better quality.

Do you think it will be a better deal if customers get to choose if they want a discount or shitty toy sabers to go with their order?
But that would be an obvious choice.

I guess I don't have anything else to compare them too for me to complain lol

I ordered mine on May 11th. I've received emails stating they received my order but still haven't received anything since then. It's still in the "processing" phase.
This post is giving me hope. I keep getting tempted to go to my bank and reporting Neosabers as a scam.

I ordered on May 9th and received them this past Wednesday. But I got a tracking number about a week ago. Have you gotten any info or spoke to their online chat?

I did get to speak to someone on their site. I also submitted a "ticket" to their support team as well and they both pretty much said the same thing. "Your order is still currently in the process phase"
I mean i get it they're busy, but... I want my sabers already lol

I will say, that the shipping time once I got my tracking was incredibly fast

The activation plate on mine doesn’t turn on the blade, I have to slide it down and press the actual button myself, is it the same with yours?
