Just to be clear, this is NOT an "RGB LEDs" cube kit. There are NOT ~550 RGB LEDs in this kit.
This is a cube with separate blue, green, and red LEDs. 192 blue LEDs, 128 green LEDs, 192 red LEDs.
The video is NOT for this version of the cube, it's for the all blue one. The sainsmart page for these is here: https://www.sainsmart.com/products/3d-led-light-square-diy-kit And they do have a wiki instructions page that includes how to load different animations from a PC: http://wiki.sainsmart.com/index.php/3D_LightSquared_DIY_Kit_8x8x8_5mm_White_LED_Cube_Red_Green_Blue_Squared_Music_MP3_Lamp_(101-20-155)
I realize that sainsmart calls this an "RGB" cube, and that technically it is a "red, green, and blue LEDs" cube, but honestly I feel like the RGB acronym being in the title of the massdrop listing the way it is, rather than written out as individual words, is a bit deceptive, given that it's usually used for actual RGB individual diodes. I would have bought an actual RGB LED cube at this price, but have no interest in what this actually is, which is definitely not a cube of RGB LEDs.

taswynThanks for clarifying and sharing that! I thought it was initially an "RGB" with millions of colors.
Thanks again!

taswynThey really should change the title of this listing to reflect that. I feel it's a little deceiving calling it an RGB LED cube.

ben_r_Yeah I almost joined this drop but I'm glad I read your post first. This listing is very misleading, kind of dropped the ball on this one Massdrop. I hope they change this listing to reflect what it actually is and also remove the video and inaccurate pictures.
