It’s pretty great, my only nitpick would be with the activation switch/panel cover. I wish it would stay affixed a little better to the hilt as, even with the magnet it’s kind of easy to knock it askew.so I have to make an effort not to grip around that part, even it it does feel a bit more natural to rest the hand there.

What an amazing lightsaber. I got the gold and black, and waited months for it to come back in stock and I am so glad it finally returned to the store. I ordered it the day it returned, and actually waited longer for it to return to stock than for them to ship it to me. This is my forth lightsaber from saberforge. All perform great. Their quality control is there, my only complaint would’ve been the lead times, but since I purchased my first two back in 2020, their lead time has significantly decreased to a bare able wait. I will be keeping my eyes on their inventory for my fifth lightsaber.

Ares Mk2 Eco

I have wanted this saber for so long, the quality is amazing and the sound and sensitivity is top notch. Definitely get some wax and polish to make this thing look really nice. Definitely recommend!

Smaller than anticipated however it's not overly heavy or clunky it's a nice dueling hilt for forms 2, and 4

Amazing product. Really perfected the saber!

I am totally pleased with my purchase, and love my first lightsaber. Quality is superb, and functions great!

This is my second saber purchase and the saber came with my configurations and was delivered a week after purchasing. Amazing purchase, may buy again!

F****** AWESOME

Absolutely love my lightsaber build

I ordered the 30 lbs apprentice QD coupler, but was accidentally sent an elite one. I emailed a picture of the part & the invoice to customer support, & they sere really quick to respond with a return label. I sent it back the next day. Turnaround was 18 days total to get the correct coupler.

I’m honestly glad it happened because customer support was awesome. Friendly, helpful, expedient. They really knocked it out of the park. It’s rare to feel like a company truly values your business & feedback. I love to see it!

As for the coupler itself. It’s pretty cool. The two halves look great on the sabers as pommels. You push-in & turn them to lock them into place. You can do that in one quarter turns to position them how you want.

The lock-up between the halves is tight & won’t move around on you. There is some wobble/play for the portion that holds the spring. It’s slight but noticeable. It doesn’t affect the function in any way.

There’s also holes that allow sound from the speakers to come through without sounding muffled. Overall it’s a clever feature & a lot of fun to play with.

As soon as I got the email that this emitter was a part of the MK2 customizable parts I jumped on it and build my custom saber and I absolutely love it.

Love the quality of these sabers. The blade retaining system is easy to use but only time will tell if it keeps the blade secure. Haven’t been able to put the saber down since I received it!

I chose this emitter not only because I liked how it looked, but also because I saw what was possible with all the individual parts. If you're not experienced I wouldn't recommend taking apart your ASPs, but I ordered one in Powder coat red and in standard, so I can mix and match accents in red to my emitter and it looks fantastic. Be mindful of the screws in the emitter, tighten too much and you'll ruin the threads, be slow and very light force not a lot, if you are really concerned and want to secure them, threadlock them. Anyways amazing part, great design and versatility.
