The LED strip referenced here is a perfect example of how a PC brand takes a generic addressable strip and increases the price by 400%, who falls for this? You can go on aliexpress and buy an addressable strip with numerous kinds of ICs (WB2182, SK6812, AP102, etc) in the same length with a generic 3 pin JST connector for $10, or even on Amazon for $15-$20. I can't understand why anyone would buy an egregiously overpriced one from a PC brand for no apparent reason.
