Which Core Technology is right for me?

It can feel daunting choosing a core technology for your new lightsaber. We are here to help!

For a more immersive experience, an SN V4 core provides sound effects. If you're a serious enthusiast seeking the best features, the Proffie Core offers a top-tier experience with a steeper learning curve.
