Upgrades
SaberForge offers electronics upgrade (and downgrade) services on our sabers. Depending on the saber you have, we can make changes.
The following table illustrates some differences between electronics options that will be available depending on the saber. Variables such as the number of emitters and the type of socket will impact the options and prices available.

If you have a saber that is more than ten years old (before 2015):
Please send an email to help@saberforge.com and request an upgrade with the subject line “Upgrade Request [order number]”. If you do not know your order number, that is okay; we can try and look it up for you. When sending email requests, please also include images of the saber so that we can review what you have to discuss any limitations. We would specifically like to view a profile of the saber, the switch section, and inside the emitter where the blade goes. Please note, again, pricing for upgrades will vary depending on what upgrade you request and what labor will be required to complete an upgrade service.
If you have a saber made after 2015:
You are welcome to fill out the RMA form found here. You can indicate what upgrade you seek and share any extra information you would like us to know about the item or special requests. The bottom of the form includes guidance on sending your saber to us. Once the form is submitted, a complete copy is emailed to you (guidance on the form included).
Those who wish to pay for services in advance are welcome to request prepayment prior to filling out the RMA by emailing Help@saberforge.com or calling us at 503-389-5534.
* Prepayment helps speed up the turnaround time of services
