No-solder cosplay electronics
Skip the breadboards, soldering irons and coding tutorials. Drop our 1.47-inch to 3.2-inch interactive displays straight into sci-fi blasters, gauntlets, badges and datapads.
Load custom graphics through a microSD card, or rely on the built-in flash memory fallback. Every kit is ready to use out of the box.
Built for prop makers
Building incredible props takes time. You should not have to spend hours learning Arduino, troubleshooting code errors or accidentally burning microcontrollers with a soldering iron just to get a simple animated screen working.
We build no-solder cosplay electronics designed specifically for prop makers. Our wearable digital display kits are fully assembled, touch-capable and feature simple drag-and-drop media loading. Whether you are building a custom cyberpunk cosplay screen or need a reliable drop-in prop display, our kits let you focus on crafting, painting and finishing.
Choose the right footprint
All kits arrive assembled and programmed. Select the physical size that best fits the available space and viewing distance in your build.
Smallest footprint
Our smallest interactive footprint. Perfect for tight spaces, wearable badges and miniature targeting sights. Load custom animations through the microSD slot, or rely on the onboard flash memory fallback when no card is present.

Larger interface
The transition to larger interfaces. It works well in tricorders, sci-fi medkits and heavier armor panels, with touch interaction and dual memory options so your prop retains its display content.

Maximum visibility
Ideal for larger sci-fi control panels, interactive datapads and Pip-Boy-style builds. It combines maximum visibility with touch controls, microSD expansion and seamless flash memory fallback.

Adding a live ammo counter instantly elevates a foam or 3D-printed prop. Our ready-to-install micro screens require very little clearance. Leave a cavity in your print, slide the screen in and load your custom targeting grid through a microSD card.
For a Mandalorian gauntlet screen or Fallout-style wrist terminal, touch functionality turns a static prop into interactive gear, running from either a microSD card or the internal flash backup.
Mount a screen to a jacket collar or backpack strap for a looping cyberpunk graphic. The flash memory fallback keeps the wearable digital display running from a standard power bank even without a microSD card.
No-solder workflow
Your animated cosplay screen arrives securely attached to its control board. Drag and drop your media onto a microSD card—or rely on the onboard flash memory fallback—and you are ready to build. There are no loose wires to strip and no pins to solder.
Secure the ultra-thin screen behind your prop window using hot glue, double-sided mounting tape or a simple 3D-printed friction bracket. The touch-sensitive screens register through standard prop bezels.
Connect the setup to a standard 5V USB power bank hidden inside your prop, switch it on and the interactive graphics begin immediately.

Built by our community
A strong use of the interactive display to cycle through medical readouts and vital-sign scanning screens. The screen was integrated directly into a custom 3D-printed Mandalorian gauntlet.

This Star Wars-inspired field communications backpack uses one of the larger touch displays to cycle through Imperial communications frequencies and map data. It runs throughout a convention weekend from a hidden 10,000mAh power bank.

The 2-inch screen fits directly into this wrist-terminal cavity. The builder uses the touch interface to move between localized radar sweeps and target-tracking data during photo shoots.
Built by our community
A touch display built directly into a rugged transport case. Tapping the screen cycles through Imperial schematics, clearance codes and target bounties.
Verified Etsy feedback
“Great quality as shown, great price, fits very well, wonderful customer service. I would recommend this seller.”
“Awesome display screen that I plan to install in some gauntlets soon. The seller was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Changing the files on the screen itself with the SD card is easy and intuitive. This thing is awesome!”
“Great screen, easy install, really takes my Mando kit to the next level. Highly recommended, great seller, awesome work.”
Technical answers
Not at all. These kits are entirely beginner-friendly. We handle the microcontroller programming. Your kit is designed for simple drag-and-drop functionality directly out of the box.
Yes. Drag and drop compatible files onto a standard microSD card. When no card is used, the screen automatically uses its internal flash memory fallback, keeping essential preloaded animations running.
The touch interface lets you cycle forward and backward through loaded animations. By arranging consecutive animation files—such as our multi-state system monitor pack—you can simulate a working, responsive datapad by tapping the screen to advance to the next visual state.
They run from standard 5V USB power. For wearable gear and convention use, connect a small USB power bank; a standard 5,000mAh battery can power a screen through a convention day. For static display props, use a standard 5V USB phone charger connected to mains power.
