This handy little device promises to extend my RGB lighting capabilities significantly without cluttering my setup. It's perfect for enthusiasts looking to light up their builds with a cohesive design using ASUS or MSI 3-pin RGB controllers.

Pros and Cons

Comparison

• NZXT RGB & Fan Controller: The NZXT controller offers more advanced features and fan control but is primarily designed for use with NZXT products only.
