Works, But...

Would recommend - yes
This is a great splitter, don't get me wrong, however in my haste to getting everything connected in my system, I didn't quite realise what D-RGB splitters actually do in reality. I was hoping that each device would be addressable individually, but what the splitter does is basically makes LED 1 of each of the devices connected be in parallel, up to the last LED. So if you turn LED 1 on, all the connected devices LED 1 will turn on. You cannot just address say Fan 1's LED 1 and make it blue, while leaving everything else off or a different colour. If you have an odd number of LED's per device, then getting sequences of lights going can be somewhat interesting, due to them being in parallel. If you have 6 LED's in device 1, and 28 LED's in device 2, and you do a sequence where it turns on one more LED per second, then the first device will be fully lit after 6 steps, while the 2nd device will be incrementing up to 28. What really is needed is a D-RGB (ARGB) controller, where each device is individually addressable, rather than being in parallel with this cable. But this does what it should, no fault of the product at all. Would be nice if CL stocked something like the "Razer Chroma Addressable RGB Controller". Hint Hint.
