More Details
WARNING: These kits definitely contain dangerous things. While the transponder devices contained within the Cyborg Transformation Kit have undergone several quality checks during manufacturing and have been put through a battery of tests with various private labs, they have not been tested or certified by any government regulatory agency for implantation or use inside the human body. Use of these devices is strictly at your own risk.
Cyborg Transformation Kit
If you’re ready to upgrade your meat sack with next generation implant tech and immediately start building cyber-solutions, you need the cyborg transformation kit! Our xNT implant contains an NTAG216 NFC chip inside that works with NFC capable smartphones, certain commercial access control systems and door locks, and USB contactless ISO14443A readers. The T5577 RFID chip inside the xEM is a 125kHz emulator that can be programmed to behave like many different types of common 125kHz low frequency chips, including EM41xx, EM4200, HID 1326 ProxCard II, HID 1346 ProxCard III, Indala (and more!) access cards and keyfobs.
Field Detection Accessories
It can be tricky getting used to using your new upgrades. The small size and cylindrical antenna shape of these types of chip implants means getting them to read with standard readers or smartphones with NFC can take some getting used to. To help you discover the best way to get a read with whatever reader you’re trying to use your new implant with, every bundle comes with a collection of field detection accessories.
- 125kHz X Field Detector
- 13.56MHz X Field Detector
- RFID Diagnostic Card
The X Field Detectors (XFD) are designed to operate just like chip implants, only instead of a chip they have an LED inside which will light up when you have found the correct location and orientation in which to present your chip implant to the reader. The RFID Diagnostic Card is a handy tool to keep in a wallet, and will tell you all about the frequency and duty cycles any readers you encounter in the wild.

Important Things To Know
Please expand the sections below to read up on things like performance expectations, return policy, installation procedure, etc.
Passive RFID and NFC chips are magnetically coupled devices that power themselves and communicate data over a shared magnetic field the reader generates. This means their effective read range and performance depends entirely on how well the antenna coils of both the tag and reader couple with each other. This typically means the shape, size, and orientation of both antennas must be complimentary.Unfortunately, most reader devices, including mobile phones, typically have antennas designed with thin PCB traces made into blocky rectangular shapes that lay along a flat plane. These antenna designs are great for coupling with and reading large flat labels and access cards which also share this antenna shape, but they have a hard time coupling to the very small cylindrical antenna coil inside our x-series chips. Most mobile phones and reader devices have a “sweet spot” or two that must be located and used each time to get consistent results. Other devices, such as the Samsung Ezon electronic deadbolt lock, sometimes use wire wound coil antenna loops inside, which work much more reliably with small glass transponders like our x-series chips. You should not expect your USB reader or mobile device to achieve the same read range with our x-series chips that you normally get with a label tag or card style tag. Here are some example videos detailing typical read performance and how to find that “sweet spot”.
The X Field Detector can help! The XFD is a diagnostic device that mimics the x-series antenna coil winding and shows you the best possible location and rotation/orientation for holding your x-series transponder up to any reader. That’s why we include it in our deluxe bundle!
Our x-series transponders are typically installed into the webbing between the metacarpal bones of the index finger and thumb, resting parallel to the index metacarpal. The reason they are installed in the hand has to do with the extremely short read range of x-series chips and the typical use case being some form of access control where the tag must be presented to a fixed reader of some kind. The suggested placement within the hand was chosen due to the lack of major nerve bundles or blood vessels running through that area.
Achieving a safe installation definitely requires a steady hand and experience performing aseptic procedures. Dangerous Things prefers our customers locate one of our professional body piercing or body modification partners to complete the installation of this product. If no partners are available in your area, you should be able to follow this guide to finding a professional in your area who is willing to assist you. For aftercare information and what to expect, please read our X-Series FAQ page.
