    Yeah the build quality of this bar although still made in China, is far superior and the backlighting is great! I want to get a more dynamic rgb controller however for cooler modes.

    And no problem man, sorry it took so long lol.

    Nice, to me that's a little much haha, but it'll probably look cool. I'd skip the pods because running the RGB wires out of them would be annoying and/or difficult

    Check the batteries in the remotes. That's very odd because I've never had a problem. I recommend buying the strips and the better remote separately because the RF controller is better. Send me a message with which ones you bought if ya can

    Just that one you had in the link. Little kit with the small remote. Idk what's wrong, only lights up blue and won't do anything else. No on/off either unless you plug it

    Sounds like a bad connection or the remote isn't working right. Is the remote working at all?

    Possibly the batteries are dead or have a little plastic thing that makes them disconnected?
