Not like the photo and just a splinter

First, there is NO ROG LOGO on it like the photo. I hate bait and switch lists. Now for the function, if you just need one power distributor for six ARGB 5V devices without power loss (some colors need full power and turn orange when there is not enough power) this works fine. BUT it's not a "hub" in the sense that it only connects to the 5V ARGB header on your motherboard, so the RGB software doesn't know there are six devices. With that, the LEDs aren't individually addressable, meaning you can't set up a layout to have each fixture light up individually or in a specific order. You'll need a Razer Chroma controller or a Zalman Z sync hub to make each device individually addressable. Finally, the quality: Below average considering the aforementioned Zalman Z Sync is almost the same price but can do so much more. The circuit board on this hub is not fixed in the acrylic case so it wobbles around. The pins for all circuitry are uncut and protrude from the bottom and can break if something gets caught between the PCB and backplate, creating a significant gap. It also doesn't come with cables or adapters, it's just a hub. Spend a few bucks more and get the Zalman Z Sync, or become a complete gamer and get a Razer Chroma controller.

Pros
  • High quality circuit board, very strong, adhesive tape on the back to easily fix the hub in the chassis, ensures stable performance even under full load.
Cons
  • Can't remember
