Looking for an USB A-RGB controller

I just got my new RGB fans and didn't realize they were A-RGB while I only have a 12v RGB header on my motherboard and the controller that came with my case (a Be Quiet! Dark Base 700). I've been looking for a 3 pin rgb controller but damn... these manufacturers don't like the users that don't buy only their products...

I couldn't find any on my usual Canadian stores, o I am turning to you. Do you know of a USB A-RGB controller (maybe PCIe ?) that would work with Asus Aura, that does not use proprietary connectors and won't cost a kidney or a lung to buy?

At this point, just an independent A-RGB controller that won't force me to buy new fans would be almost fine... but I would rather have the USB version if it exists.

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  string s = "Hello World";
  for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); ++i)
  {
      cout << s[i];
  }
  return 0;
}

well... that was quick... I found this: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07QPYSC82/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Rather cheap and I'll update you guys on how it worked for me.

Turns out... the module kind of acts weird when I use it with my motherboard 12v RGB header with Aura... but when I use my Case's controller effects... it's fine.... soooo...

Imma stop using my fans with Aura and just use aura for the LEDs that are underneath the motherboard.
