Perfect. Delivered on time and in great shape. Love it

This being my first Neopixel Proffie 2.2 lightsaber, I was nothing short of excited to receive my lightsaber after watching a number of unboxing videos, reviews, comparisons, etc... but after receiving it, I've got to say to be honest, I was underwhelmed... I'll make this brief but concise:

PROS:
- Emitter, hilt, pommel components are so sturdy and seemingly well built.
- Though hefty in weight, it's got a good grippy feel to it that's quite comfortable as a result of the textured grip section.
- The detail is amazing on the hilt... every curve and contour (no hot spots or excessively sharp points), from the hand guard, grip, to the pommel is on point and manufactured well, making it a fine display piece.
- Comes with a display stand.

CONS:
- Package design, though well-secured, was a bit disappointing in regards to the attention to detail. After seeing a number of unboxing videos for this saber price point, I did expect a bit more in regards to the presentation. Package visuals were very generic and plastered with an odd filigree design.
- D-ring is not securely fastened to the pommel, causing it to pop out from time to time, and has slightly scratched the brushed metal finish.
- Though a single retention point seems like a good idea in terms of ease of use, would still prefer three (maybe just me) for confidence. That single point doesn't quite feel secure.
- Speaker was more muffled than I had expected it to be, and during a few light swings, experienced the audio just briefly cutting off/ skipping. Perhaps could be the sound font?
- Pre-loaded sound fonts, blade styles, and ignition styles on Proffie 2.2 seemed underwhelming. As an example, Luke's sound font sounds nothing like his lightsaber and rather sounds like a peculiar piano/ organ sound.
- Gesture and button commands are unfortunately not as sensitive as I had originally hoped they would be. Adjusting the volume was a task, and more often than not, the board doesn't pick up flash on clash action via impact on the blade, and requires a substantial amount of force just to register; however doing so on the hilt seems to register better (even after after triple-checking the blade connection). Would love to have received some kind of tutorial instruction for the commands.
- Unfortunately (though not entirely disastrous), the button for changing sound fonts seems to stick at times causing a failure to register button commands - this was disappointing because the build seemed so on point. At times, I'd have to press and wiggle it to get the appropriate click to engage the command. This perhaps could have been a one-off?
- Admittedly, receiving the RGB S4 BOGO was one of the appeals when I decided to purchase this Shin Hati lightsaber; however, after receiving was surprised to have received a very generic RGB S4 baselit with what looks to be a 20-24in blade? Would have appreciated to see a bit more detail on the website for the Free Lightsaber deal such as info on blade length and possible designs? Knowing this, I'd probably forgo the offer and would have loved seeing more attention to detail on the package design or a more appealing neopixel blade plug.

I love this stylish sword. In order to be able to swing it in a combat-ready manner, the two buttons on the handle should be moved. You always intuitively want to grab directly below the handguard plate... but otherwise it's a real feast for the eyes and very nicely balanced!

This saber is gorgeous! The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is that it’s a bit expensive. That said, the craftsmanship is excellent, and it feels like a true warrior’s weapon!

It took longer than expected to arrive, but when I finally got it, I was blown away. The metal hilt is super detailed, and the blade color is unique.
