I'm planning on adding rgb to the back of my desk and in my computer case. But why on earth are rgb extensions so hard to find without having to buy a whole new kit. One set I have are the kind you have to cut and and attach a new thing to it but I can't find the extensions for it. Any help? And I don't have a solder gun

RGB extensions are plentiful for standard SMD 5050 LED strips.

Yeah that's for using the whole strip. It has cut lines on it to cut to length or whatever, but it makes using the rest of the strip impossible without an adapter you have to connect to the cut end. Which I can't find without buying a whole new strip

In that case your not wanting an extension but crimp on connections instead of soldering the cut ends of the LED strip.
