Compatibility and fit
Engineered for the gaming console. Most standard retail units across all regions (NA, EU, JP, AU) are supported. Check the compatibility table in the Specs section below to confirm your exact device model and firmware version are covered. Region-locked accessories or limited-edition hardware variants may differ in internal layout — contact us if you are unsure.
A typical installation takes 15–30 minutes using a tri-wing Y00 screwdriver, a Phillips #00 screwdriver, and a plastic spudger. We strongly recommend watching a full teardown video for your specific device revision before you begin. Work on a clean, well-lit, static-free surface; a silicone repair mat with magnetic screw organizer is ideal. Keep screws sorted by length and location — they are NOT interchangeable and using the wrong screw can damage the PCB or strip a post. If any component resists during reassembly, stop immediately, recheck ribbon-cable seating and alignment tabs, and try again gently.
What is included
- USB LED Strip Light for Gaming Desk Setup – RGB Backlight 2M — main product as listed
- Any applicable mounting hardware, adhesive pads, or fasteners
- User guide or quick-start reference sheet
- Not included: tools required for installation; the console or controller itself is sold separately
Buying guidance
Before adding this accessory to your cart, double-check the model and color variant to make sure it matches your gaming console. Keep in mind that product colors may appear slightly different on screen compared with the physical item due to monitor calibration and studio lighting. If you are ordering as a gift or are unsure about compatibility, our support team is happy to verify your hardware revision before you buy.
Invest in a quality precision screwdriver set if you do not already own one — cheap drivers strip delicate tri-wing and JIS screws easily, turning a quick mod into a headache. Always keep your original parts in a labelled bag — you may need them if you sell the console, send it in for warranty service, or simply want to return to stock.

What modders are saying
Bought one for each console. Both kits are identical in quality and the RGB 2M effects sync up nicely when placed side by side. HitLights has the best LED kits in the console accessory space.
LED strips are bright and the RGB 2M color modes are accurate. Cable length was a bit short for my setup so I had to rearrange my shelf slightly. The lights themselves are perfect quality.
Love that it remembers the last RGB 2M effect and brightness when powered on. No need to reconfigure every time. The IR remote is responsive and the mode cycling is smooth.
LED quality and color accuracy are excellent. The RGB 2M modes look exactly like the photos. Only minor issue is the IR remote needs line-of-sight within about 10 feet. Not a problem for most setups but worth noting.
Friends think I paid hundreds for a custom modded console. It is just this HitLights LED kit. The RGB 2M effects behind the fan vent create an impressive halo that photographs well for social media too.
