It will come with a cable that does that. You can get a micro HDMI to HDMI cable and either splice that yourself or get an HDMI breakout board and wire it up that way if you want to change the length, though.
So it will come with a spliced connector? How would we control it then?It will come with a cable that does that. You can get a micro HDMI to HDMI cable and either splice that yourself or get an HDMI breakout board and wire it up that way if you want to change the length, though.
So would it be spliced into a header or a normal USB/2/3/3.1? Also what code?Via USB. The micro HDMI cable gets spliced into three connectors for PWR_BTN, HDD_LED and USB.

So USB headers on motherboard and what if we don't know C...USB2. There's no benefit to USB3 and most people have lots of free USB2 headers on their boards. At the very least you'll be able to program it with MPLAB X using the C language, but I would like to make it Arduino-compatible if I can manage to do so.
K, I am probably just going to change the shade of green everyday...Then you get a few presets that you can set with a small command line tool or a GUI tool. C is very easy when it's just about controlling LEDs, though
Yah, you have any estimate on price and production and production quantity?Yeah that will absolutely be possible without re-programming it
YahNo, I don't even know where I'll get the casing machined, still have to search for possible manufacturers.
That'd be cool.Have you thought about having your unique (and very cool) looking iF logo etched on the button face?

The guy that I am, ofcourse I want the most fully-featured and at the same time SFF solution there is. So I thought an RGB(W) set that plugs with an inline controller straight into a USB 2.0 header would be nice. Apparently that doesn't exist or not in an SFF format. So I caved in, hoping @iFreilicht 's RGB button will someday fill the hole (literally and figuratively), I ordered a CableMod RGB kit.
Keep in mind that my button won't have enough power to power those strips. Absolute maximum power output on each GPIO is 50mA, which is plenty for a single dome-head LED as they appear in front-panels, but by far not enough to light a strip like this.
You could go with an Arduino with an RGB LED shield and mount that somewhere where it fits. In the LZ7 you could stick it in place of one 2.5" drive or onto the side of the PSU maybe.
Since most RGB kits are 12V anyway (like the Asus AURA "standard"), wouldn't it suffice to just seperately power the 12V and let your button control the RGB channels ?
Or maybe use your controller PCB seperately for use atop a USB header, you could possibly piggyback of the already done design and production to expand to a whole new market in dire need of RGB controlling with lightweight software and tiny hardware.
