The build quality and light actually seems quite decent in this product, but it has one huge issue that ruins it for me - the LEDs aren't multi colored. Unfortunately what this means is that unless you have them all turned on in the alternating 'rainbow' pattern, there are large gaps between the lights. So unless you are looking for an RGB candy cane, or an RGB rainbow, this is not the product for you. Otherwise the remote works well, and is responsive. Note that it only comes with a usb plug, and not an adapter to plug it into the wall (my cell phone adapter worked fine).
