Please note: The crystal in the SRGB version glows RED only, whereas the Neopixel versions sync the crystal color with the blade color.
What Is the Dark Hunter RGB/Neopixel Saber?
The Dark Hunter Saber features a sleek shadow-tech design with a dark gray and black metal body. Its exposed power chamber and copper inner structure glow vividly with the red blade, creating a striking pulse effect. With clean silver metal switches and a refined build, it is an excellent high-end choice for display, performance, and immersive use.
The Dark Hunter RGB/Neopixel Saber is a premium dark-side-aesthetic saber by CCSabers, built around its signature exposed crystal chamber — a design element that puts the glowing power source on full display rather than concealing it within the hilt. Available in S-RGB, SN-Pixel V4 PRO, and Proffieboard V2.2 configurations, it combines a 1" OD 36" polycarbonate blade, an aluminium alloy 6061 hilt weighing 0.45kg, and a visual identity drawn from the shadowed, ruthless aesthetic of SW dark-side warriors — Sith Lords, Imperial Inquisitors, and dark-side Force users who wield power without mercy. Starting from $295, it is one of the highest-specification sabers in the TXQ lineup.
The design language is deliberate — dark gray and black metal body, copper power chamber accents, silver precision switches. This is not a hero saber. It is built for collectors and cosplayers who identify with the shadow side of the Force: the Grand Inquisitor, the Second Sister, Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Count Dooku, or an original dark-side character of their own design.
Choose Your Core Configuration
The Dark Hunter is available in three configurations — S-RGB, SN-Pixel V4 PRO and Proffieboard V2.2 — all using the same hilt. The core determines blade technology, crystal chamber behavior, and customization depth.
Choose S-RGB if: you want a durable dueling-capable saber with Bluetooth control and a fixed red-glowing crystal chamber. The S-RGB crystal glows red only — a permanently dark-side visual that suits the aesthetic without requiring a neopixel upgrade. Includes ForcePark app control, 16 pre-loaded sound fonts, and an SD card for custom font loading. Best for heavy sparring and display.
Choose SN-Pixel V4 PRO if: you want the full neopixel experience — a 50W LED pixel strip inside the blade, a crystal chamber that syncs its glow color to match the blade in real time, 27 pre-loaded sound fonts, 9 dynamic blade effects including Fire and Rainbow, and Bluetooth control via the ForcePark V1/V2 app. The crystal sync feature is exclusive to the neopixel version and is the defining visual upgrade. Best for display, cosplay, and cinematic performance.
Choose Proffieboard V2.2 if: you want the most advanced platform available — fully programmable via open-source ProffieOS, 25 premium pre-loaded sound fonts, unlimited blade styles and custom effects via SD card and computer, and the most advanced smooth swing detection in the industry. Like the SN-Pixel V4 PRO, the crystal chamber syncs to blade color in real time. No Bluetooth by default — all customization is done via SD card and ProffieOS on a computer. Best for enthusiasts who want complete control over every aspect of their saber.
Key Features
Exposed Crystal Chamber with Copper Accent Structure
The Dark Hunter's defining feature is its exposed power chamber — the glowing crystal core is fully visible through the hilt's architecture rather than hidden inside. The surrounding copper inner structure creates a warm metallic contrast against the dark gray body, and the chamber pulses with the blade's active color. In the S-RGB version, the crystal glows red permanently. In the SN-Pixel V4 PRO version, the crystal color syncs in real time with the blade — shift your blade from red to violet to white and the chamber follows instantly. This is the most visually distinctive feature of this saber and the primary reason to choose it over a standard hilt design.
Shadow-Tech Aesthetic — Dark Gray, Black & Copper
The three-material palette — dark gray metal body, matte black paneling, and copper inner structure — is engineered to read as a high-end dark-side weapon. The silver metal switches provide precision contrast without breaking the shadow aesthetic. This is a hilt that photographs with immediate visual impact and reads unmistakably dark-side from across a convention floor or display shelf.
ForcePark Bluetooth App Control (S-RGB & SN-Pixel V4 PRO)
Both configurations connect to the ForcePark V1/V2 app (Android and iOS). Adjust blade color, volume, motion sensitivity, and gesture settings in real time — no hilt disassembly required. The SN-Pixel V4 PRO app also controls blade effect selection and sound font switching on the fly. The Proffieboard V2.2 does not support Bluetooth by default — customization is handled via SD card and ProffieOS on a computer.
Premium 0.45kg Aluminium Alloy 6061 Construction
At 0.45kg, the Dark Hunter hilt has the substantial, weapon-grade weight of a premium saber — heavier and more solid in hand than entry-level builds. The aluminium alloy 6061 construction matches the material standard of sabers at significantly higher price points, delivering both durability and the tactile satisfaction of real metal in hand.

FAQ About Dark Hunter Saber
-
What is the exposed crystal chamber and how does it work?
The Dark Hunter's exposed power chamber is a structural feature of the hilt design — the crystal core sits in an open architecture surrounded by a copper accent frame, making it fully visible rather than hidden inside the hilt body. When the saber is active, the chamber glows with the blade's color, creating a pulse effect that adds a second light source to the saber's overall visual.
The behavior differs by configuration: in the S-RGB version, the crystal glows red only regardless of blade color setting — a permanently dark-side look. In both the SN-Pixel V4 PRO and Proffieboard V2.2 version, the crystal syncs its color to match the blade in real time — change the blade to violet, the chamber turns violet; switch to white, the chamber follows. This real-time sync is one of the most visually striking features on any saber in this price range.

Which SW dark-side characters does the Dark Hunter suit best?
The Dark Hunter's shadow-tech aesthetic — dark gray metal body, copper power chamber, black paneling — makes it a strong visual match for several categories of dark-side SW characters:
Imperial Inquisitors (SW Rebels, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi: FO) — the Grand Inquisitor, Second Sister, Fifth Brother. The industrial-dark aesthetic directly references Inquisitorius design language. Both SN-Pixel V4 PRO and Proffieboard V2.2 includes the dedicated Inquisitor sound font. Sith Lords — Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Count Dooku, Emperor Palpatine all have dedicated sound fonts on the SN-Pixel V4 PRO. Dark side Force users — Kylo Ren, Dark Side Rey, Darth Revan (Red). The Dark Hunter is also an ideal base for an original dark-side character build — the non-canonical design gives complete aesthetic freedom. The Proffieboard V2.2 adds the further ability to install any additional dark-side font via ProffieOS for a fully custom character build. The Dark Hunter is also an ideal base for an original dark-side character build — the non-canonical design gives complete aesthetic freedom.

What blade color best complements the Dark Hunter's aesthetic?
The Dark Hunter is designed around a dark-side visual identity, and the blade color choices that best reinforce this are:
Red — the canonical Sith blade color; the S-RGB crystal glows red to match automatically. Crimson/deep red — a darker red available on SN-Pixel V4 PRO and Proffieboard V2.2 via the infinite RGB spectrum, matching the DSR (Dark Sith Red) sound font aesthetic. Purple — referencing Mace Windu's unique blade and morally complex Force users. Orange — associated with Force users who walk the line between light and dark, such as Ahsoka Tano's pre-white blade era and certain Gray Jedi characters. Black (Darksaber approximation) — achievable on SN-Pixel V4 PRO and Proffieboard V2.2 with the chamber syncing to near-black, creating the most striking display configuration available on this hilt.
