Razer Chroma Addressable RGB Controller: Compatibility - 6 Addressable RGB Headers - Powered by Razer Chroma RGB - Supported by Razer Synapse 3 - SSD Mounting Points

It's an amazing device for people who have peripherals (fans, CPU fan, RGB anti sag support, etc) from various brands and want to have synced and reasonably controlled RGB without having to download a dozen of RGB apps (which may actually slow your system down as each software hogs a certain amount of processing power). If you already have Razer peripherals (e.g. mouse, keyboard, headphone, etc), then you should have no other reason as to why you won't go with this.This device is controlled via Razer Synapse, the software Razer uses to control all Razer RGB as well as macros and other programmable features. It's an all in one app which may need to be updated once you connect new device such as this one. The update process is very simple. Simply run the app (it will automatically run every time you boot up), and after a minute or two, it will auto detect the need for update, and you only need to click one button.This device has 6 ports, although you may connect multiple devices to one port. For example, I have six case fans which are all connected via one port. This means I can have other 5 ports for other stuff like CPU fan, and the RGB anti sag stand.This device is powered via molex, so folks who use fully modular PSU may need to run one extra cable just to have this device draw power. This device connects to your motherboard via USB interface port on your motherboard. Make sure you have one free to use, otherwise you won't be able to use it.With all that said, let's dive into the features. What's amazing about this device is the ability to detect how many LEDs are connected to each port. My case fans have about 9 LEDs, and I don't have to count them manually as it's automatically detected. At the same time, on the second port where I have my CPU fan connected, it detects 4 LEDs accurately with no problem (see photos). You are able to control, not only each individual port, but down to the LED! The limit is honestly your imagination to customize the lighting (see photos).All in all, for the price it's asking, I'd say it's definitely worth the bang. Spend $40, and you will not have to worry about what fans to get as it's compatible with all Addressable RGB devices from various brands.

I thought RGBs were dumb. Then I got a case that had aRGB and I ended up discovering I really liked them. So I bought a bunch of RGB stuff without being super careful and whoops, I accidentally connected a 12V cable the wrong way and fired my motherboard's aRGB header. I tried other things to replace it and none worked.This, though, so far has been a really good replacement. The software seems better than what came with my device which is nice. And it's nice to see the right colors again. It's actually controlling the lights of some fans that I thought went out in the post above.I get what people are saying about the size of the connection ports, but my stuff fits, albeit snugly. However I prefer a snug connection to a loose connection with aRGB. At least I'm not having to hot glue the plugs together like aRGBs that are too loose. I also wish the power and and USB cables were just a bit longer so I could get this little case better. Minor complaints though.

I wanted a namebrand ARGB controller that wasn't Corsair, and this came on my list.The software, as much as I don't like Razer Bloatware, is actually useful here. You can customize your lighting patterns to a staggering amount of detail, it's actually overwhelming at first. You can also go online and download custom lighting effects other people made as well.The slots that the ARGB plugs into, makes them fit snugly and not easy for a bump to knock off.One gripe I have, is your lighting profile isn't stored on the device itself, so every time you turn on your computer or reboot, it defaults to a rainbow shift pattern, until the software in Windows finally loads. Not a deal breaker and not worth knocking a star off...But what is... Is... Razer, it's 2021, please for the love of God, get rid of the Molex power connector! Everything else in my system is Sata powered, even down to my 6 year old water pump! I had to go back into storage and dig out my power supply box to get my modular molex rail for this. Sure I could've cut it off and soldered a new end on it, but why. This is a crime worth losing a star on.Other than that, if you have so many ARGB devices that your motherboard header can't handle, or want a neater way to manage the rats nest behind the motherboard tray, or you don't want to shell out the cash for a Commander Pro, this will fit your build perfectly! Just remember to save a Molex plug.

I used to hate Synapse, but adding this in to control all my RGB devices has been a breeze, and makes it SO simple.I did have trouble at first with it not "Detecting" some of my fans and my GPU waterblock. There is an option within synpase to manually detect, as it tries to auto detect. After clicking that it detected the rest of my devices.I am running 7 EK Vardar RGB fans (Daisychained on two different ports on this device) works perfectly fine.XG7 3090 Ventus RGB block is detected, but you have to set it to an "LED strip" to change the colors(You get two options, RGB strip or RGB fan)Also, if you do not have RGB headers, this is great as it is controlled via a USB header (I have them, but this just simplifies it even more and cleans it up). 10/10 recommended worth every penny.
