DO NOT BUY THESE LED CONTROLLER/REMOTES!

[SpurnOfHumanity]

ATTENTION!

Do NOT buy these LED remotes!!! The LED strips are fine but I have bought both the 44-key remote AND the 24-key remote and the both only have about a 10 key stroke lifetime...
Again the LED strips are great but DO NOT buy these remotes!!!

I've had mine for about 2 years and the buttons are getting worn out, this is using it overtime I play games I turn it on and turn it off and I am a casual gamer.

My first gaming desktop was in a chrome/silver case, it had a huge glass side and lots of lights showing etc but now that im older i couldn't stand having something like that in my apartment lol

If i have someone over all they see is a with a 250D tucked away, i wouldn't want some over the top disco ball sitting in the corner hehe.

I run a LED store and have spend the last few years testing and experimenting with LED Controllers, this is what I have found through loads of testing with loads of remotes (lost count on how many as I threw most of them in the bin)

Depends on where you get them, most manufactures use the same look, and I mean they look the exact same, I have had loads of these, some failed some didn't (all from different companies).

 

Both RF and IR controllers have issues, in fact 80% of the IR controllers I have tested either broke within a week or never worked to begin with all from different companies. The RF controllers started off the same but with around a 75% failure rate all from different companies and then I found a company and so far with this company every remote has worked.

 

IR = Inferred (controller needs a line of sight to the receiver) (Other IR remotes such as TV remotes may also interfere and change the LED colors when you change channel)

RF = Radio Frequency (Receiver can be hidden and controlled from different rooms in your house)

 

I find most IR units to be absolute garbage, and the RF units to be better if you know where to get the good ones from.
