So i'm getting 7 RGB fans and in going to have 2 RGB controllers, how will that work? do you have to control them individual in the software? And can i just use one controller and use RGB cable splitters?

 

Here are the fans: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0731KRCTX/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

 

And the other one in total of 7: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XJ2LCPG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

It looks like you can use splitters on the hub but just take note how many fans you put on a single port to not overload it.

They are the same as standard RGB LED splitters you can get online if they aren't available, as before just make sure you check to see if they have a rating for that controller unit since you don't want to overload one of those RGB ports.

That's why I said to check the amperage rating for the ports to ensure your not overloading it, from their photos using their coolermaster splitter it seems to alright to do so.
