Diamond Controller LED Type

RGBW LED [Recommended]
Please select the type of LED you would like equipped in your Diamond Saber. With an RGBW LED you will have White (Silver) connected to channel 4 and will be able to create much purer whites. With RGBA will have Amber (Orange) connected to channel 4 and can use this for different color mixing and will have to mix Red, Green, and Blue to create White (Silver).

Choose the color of your blade!

RGBW

Choose the color of your blade!



Blazing Red, Consular Green, Guardian Blue, Fire Orange, and Adegan Silver are all made with single diode High Powered LEDs.

Violet Amethyst, Sun Rider's Destiny, and Arctic Blue are all made with multicolor RGB LEDs and combining two diodes to create the Blade Color.

Tri Blazing Red, Tri Consular Green, Tri Guardian Blue, Tri Fire Orange, Tri Arctic Blue and Tri Adegan Silver are all made using Tri Cree LEDs with all three diodes wired together. [Not compatible with Flash on Clash]

To use color discs you remove the blade, drop a disc down the blade socket, then replace the blade. These only work properly with the Adegan Silver blade color. Colors obtained using color discs create a blade that is significantly dimmer than if you just ordered that color blade standalone (for example Guardian Blue is much brighter than using a blue color disc).

Neopixel Blade Color

Neopixel String Blade
Ultrasabers NeoPixel blades are capable of adjusting to any color you can imagine, and will arrive preset with a variety of colors!

Diamond Flash on Clash

Diamond Pulse Mode

Emerald Driver Configuration

4 Channel Emerald Driver - RGBW LED

Flash on Clash

No Flash
PLEASE NOTE: Flash on Clash is not possible with Tri Cree LEDs. If you have selected a Tri-Cree LED, then your saber cannot support Flash on Clash. You can only have one or the other. If you would like to add Flash on Clash, please go back and select a non-Tri-Cree LED blade color.

Obsidian Lite Battery Configuration

Standard Setup
The Obsidian Lite operates with the Standard Setup. Standard Setup is a setup that uses regular AAA batteries to power your saber. (4xAAA batteries for all colors). You can use regular Alkaline batteries or rechargeable NiMh batteries (not provided).

Li-Ion Setup is not an option on sabers equipped with the Obsidian Lite soundboard. If you are interested in a Li-Ion battery setup please go for a saber equipped with Premium Sound.

Battery Configuration

Standard Setup
***The VP1 Charger is HIGHLY recommended for all Li-Ion setups. This is by far the superior charger for Li-Ion battery care and maintenance.***



Standard Setup is a setup that uses regular AAA batteries to power your saber. (4xAAA batteries for all colors). You can use regular Alkaline batteries or rechargeable NiMh batteries (not provided).

Our Li-Ion battery Setups are the superior battery pack configurations. A Li-Ion battery configuration is required for all sabers with sound. (Your saber only comes with sound if it says WITH SOUND in the title of the saber name)

We recommend checking out our post that explains our Li-Ion Setups here! Li-Ion batteries (and charger if applicable) are always provided with these setups.

Recharge Port

Blade Length

36" Standard Size
Select what length of blade you want.

Check out our SaberForum post that explains the difference between each of our available blade types here! (Link will open in a new tab)

Blade Option

UltraEdge Midgrade
Select what type of blade you want to come with your UltraSaber.

> Mid-Grade
Mid-Grade blades are an excellent all around choice. They are lightweight and allow the true color of the LED through at maximum brightness. These blades are durable enough for light sparring, but are not as thick as our Heavy Grade blades and are therefore not recommended for full contact/ heavy dueling.

> UltraEdge
UltraEdge blades are available in the above Mid & Heavy grades, and are created from a white polycarbonate tube providing a thick, bright blade. The white polycarbonate creates a FULLER blade look but isn't as bright as non-Ultraedge blades.

> Heavy Grade & Ultra Edge Heavy Grade
Our Heavy Grade blades weigh literally twice as much as the Mid-Grade blades, and they do trade off a bit of brightness in exchange for their brutal strength. These blades are recommended blade for those who intend on full contact dueling or sparring against wooden Bokken or similar weaponry.

For more detailed information, check out our SaberForum post that explains the difference between each of our available lightsaber blade types here. (Link will open in a new tab)

Diamond Sound

Diamond Sound
All Diamond Controllers come equipped with sound.

Features of the Diamond Controller soundboard are:

-Greatly increased Memory Space (256MB compared to 16MB on v4 soundboard)
-10 different soundfonts
-Change soundfonts with push of a button
-Synchronized sound and light effects for unlimited unique variations and possibilities
-Can use .lsu or .wav files (48KHz 16bit)
-Update firmware with Launcher
-Unlimited Awesomeness

Switch Hole Type

Guarded Switch Hole Type
Choose the switch hole type for your empty hilt!

Guarded Switch Hole Type: Your empty hilt will have a switch hole drilled to work with our normal guarded switches. These switches are meant to be PRESS FIT into the switch hole. No backing nut or adhesive required.

AV Switch Hole Type: Your empty hilt will have a switch hole ENLARGED to work with our 16mm AV switches. These switches are meant to be attached with a backing nut and/or High Performance hot melt adhesive.

Obsidian Lite Sound

Obsidian Lite Soundboard
The Obsidian Lite Soundboard is the more cost effective option for customers that want sound in their Ultrasaber but don't need all the extra features or just want to save some cash! The Obsidian Lite operates with the Standard Setup. Standard Setup is a setup that uses regular AAA batteries to power your saber. (4xAAA batteries for all colors). You can use regular Alkaline batteries or rechargeable NiMh batteries (not provided). Li-Ion Setup is not an option on sabers equipped with the Obsidian Lite soundboard. If you are interested in a Li-Ion battery setup please go for a saber equipped with Premium Sound.

The Obsidian Lite Soundboard still uses the same speaker and still provides a loud and awesome sound experience with your Ultrasaber. You still get multiple clash (impact) sounds, multiple motion (woosh, woosh) sounds, a power up sound, a power down sound, a boot sound, an idle hum, and a lockup sound. So there is nothing lacking in that department. The default Obsidian soundfont comes pre-installed on your saber in its entirety.

However, by opting for the Lite version of the Obsidian soundboard you do lose the USB port on your saber and do not have the option to change your soundfont or adjust your hardware parameters. You also lose the option to have multiple soundfonts installed on your saber at one time.

You can watch a video that goes over the features of the Obsidian Lite soundboard here.

Pommel Version

High Profile

Quick Disconnect

Nope.
Quick Disconnect is an option offered with sabers that use the MLS (Modular LED System) unit to house the LED. This option allows you to remove the MLS unit and replace it with one of a different color. Additional MLS units are sold here.

This option does NOT work with the RGB color selection, only with single color sabers. Please do not select Quick Disconnect with the RGB color option.

Switch Type

Black GUARDED Switch
Select your lightsaber's A/V Switch.  The AV Switch will control the power to the saber as well as allow you to operate the Obsidian Soundboard, Emerald Driver, or Diamond Controller if your saber is configured to include them.

UltraSabers-Lightsaber-AV-Switches

Select from the standard Guarded switch, an illuminated or non-illuminated AV Switch switch here. These AV switches are just for cosmetic purposes- they make your saber look cool, they do not serve for any additional functionality, and are not required for any additional functionality.

***Non Illuminated AV Switch on LEFT. Guarded Switch on RIGHT. Sabers in picture are shown for reference only. Guarded Switches are BLACK on Sabers with Sound. Guarded Switches are Silver, Red, or Blue on Sabers WITHOUT Sound.***

AV Switch Channel

Channel 4 (Dedicated to AV Switch) [Recommended]
This option ONLY applies if you selected an illuminated AV Switch. If you did not opt for an illuminated AV Switch then please disregard this option.

Also, AV Switches do NOT change colors. Once you select a color it will always be that color. This option only dictates how we supply power to the LED on the illuminated AV switch.


Choose Blade Tip Type

Round Tip
Round Tips look round and pointed tips look pointed. There is absolutely no other difference.

There is a surcharge for pointed tips because we do not stock these and would have to custom make the blade for you. They are not superior in any way. It is just a preference if you want your tip to be round or pointed.

99% of Ultrasaber blades are made with round tips.

Blade Retention Screw Wrench

No Thanks
The Blade Retention Screw Wrench is just the small allen wrench required to remove the blade. This wrench is NOT required to hold the blade in place. That screw is provided standard with every Ultrasaber.

You can also purchase these separately from any hardware store, or you may already own a set of these. Purchasing this one guarantees that you will get the correct size wrench for the screw in your Ultrasaber. Using the wrong size wrench can strip your retention screw.

All Ultrasaber retention screws require Standard size hex wrenches, DO NOT USE METRIC SIZE WRENCHES, you will strip the screw.

Include Blade Plug

No Thanks
Blade Plugs are designed to be inserted in your saber when the blade is removed to protect your LEDs. They give the hilt a cool look when the saber is ignited, and prevent you from shining a high powered LED directly into yours or someone else's eyes.

Select an option above to see illuminated examples of each blade plug.

Include Day Blade

No Thanks
Day blades are a fantastic solution to keep your saber looking perfect during long days of brightly lit conventions, outdoor events, intense studio lighting, or times when you don't have your saber powered on.

Day Blades are Heavy Grade blades, with a 1" diameter.

Please Note: A Day Blade's colored Polycarbonate will affect the appearance of the color of your saber's LED when it is ignited. Please make sure to select a Day Blade blade that best matches your saber's blade color!

Include Saber Stand

No Thanks
Very basic assembly is required for stands. Any damage from assembling incorrectly is not covered under warranty.

***Sabers in pictures are NOT included with the stand, and are only shown for reference***

Include MICRO USB Cable

No Thanks
A MICRO USB cable is needed in order to interface your saber's Diamond Controller with the Ultrasabers Launcher on your computer when changing your installed fonts, effects, and gestures.

You can download the Ultrasabers Launcher for the Diamond Controller here.

[Note: This cable is NOT used for any charging purposes]

Include MINI USB Cable

No Thanks
A MINI USB cable is needed in order to interface your saber's Obsidian Soundboard or Emerald Driver with the Obsidian Launcher on your computer when changing your installed soundfonts or blade color.

You can download the Obsidian Launcher here.

[Note: This cable is NOT used for any charging purposes]

Include DevPort Module

No Thanks
The DevPort can only be used with UltraProffie soundboards. It has no compatibility with Obsidian, Emerald, or Diamond boards. The DevPort is required to connect any UltraProffie board to www.ultraproffie.com (requires Google Chrome) or Arduino via USB.

Any use of the DevPort with the UltraProffie soundboard is not covered under warranty. This tool allows you to makes changes to the actual coding of the soundboard and is for advanced users only.

Include Belt Clip

No Thanks
A belt clip wheel is the knob on a lightsaber that allows you to attach the lightsaber to a belt clip and wear it on your belt.

A clip is the clip that you wear on your belt that allows you to hang your lightsabers from a belt clip wheel for costuming or to just carry your saber in general.  This is typically done with the blade removed.  The blades are removable on ALL Ultrasabers.

Not all Ultra Sabers come standard with a belt clip wheel. All Prophecy models, all Shock Models, The Bane, The Bellicose, The Overlord, The Guardian, The Graflex SE & CE, and The Consular all come standard with a belt clip wheel and one does not have to be added or purchased.


You can purchase a belt clip wheel separately from here.

Install Belt Clip Wheel

No Thanks
A belt clip wheel is the knob on a lightsaber that allows you to attach the lightsaber to a covertec clip and wear it on your belt.

If your UltraSaber doesn't come standard with a belt clip wheel, you can have one added before it ships. In the comments field of your order, specify where on the hilt and what color covertec wheel (silver, black, or gold) and we'll take care of that for you before the saber ships.

Please keep instruction to TWO things ONLY in the comments field of the order at checkout:

1: Left, Right, or Rear (activation switch representing the front) and
2. Near Pommel or Above Switch.

Those are the only two pieces of information we need for belt clip wheel location requests. Please do not use degrees or clock rotations or include image links for belt clip wheel location requests. A proper belt clip wheel location request would be "Left Side Near Pommel" or "Rear Side Above Switch" or "Rear Side Near Pommel" etc. You can also not put anything in the comments field and we will select an excellent default location for your belt clip wheel install.

Description

Manticore Lightsaber

The Ultrasabers Manticore, a longtime con-exclusive, is finally available for anyone to wield. This stunning single blade lightsaber would make a powerful addition to any arsenal.

This 11″ long, 1.5″ wide lightsaber is a 3-piece design that features a pronounced flanged emitter, which has a gorgeous grooved pattern and ten windows to let the light of your blade or blade plug shine through. It’s an eye-catching design that’s sure to draw attention even when it isn’t illuminated.

 The Manticore lightsaber is made with high-quality T6 aircraft aluminum. The hilt is anodized black with subtle grooves machined around the grip. The pommel and emitter are both silver for a classic tuxedo look.

The Manticore’s pommel comes in two styles: low profile and high profile. If you prefer a more streamlined look, low profile would be your best choice. The high profile choice is larger and has dual-ringed detailing to give the saber some additional flair. This option even adds another inch of length onto the lightsaber, increasing it from 11″ to 12″.

If you want to build your own lightsaber, the Manticore is an ideal choice. The two pommel choices are Modular Hilt System (MHS) compatible, meaning you can remove or interchange it with other MHS parts. You can also choose between a stunt saber with no sound, an empty hilt or our basic and premium sound options. You can even choose between Emerald and Diamond drivers, which are the finest on the market.
